A local client recently brought his 2015 Harley-Davidson Street Glide to Ocala Car Audio for a sound system upgrade. He’d purchased audio upgrades for the bike from us a few years ago and installed them with the help of a friend. He decided that it wanted the system to sound better and play louder, so he brought the cool cruiser to us and explained his goals. After taking a look at his bike and talking about a few options, we put together a simple yet elegant solution that would meet his expectations.
Harley-Davidson Sound System Upgrade
We started this Harley stereo upgrade by removing the front fairing and the stock plastic speaker enclosure. We planned to install a set of Diamond Audio MP654 Pro-Series 6.5-inch coaxial horn-loaded speakers. Unlike conventional speakers, these drivers use an oversized horn-loaded tweeter and feature a massive 1.5-inch voice coil on the midrange driver. Even though they look gigantic, they fit into the stock speaker locations in the front fairing quite nicely.
As with any upgrade, choosing an amplifier that can deliver adequate power is crucial to getting great sound. We installed a Diamond Audio Micro84U amplifier on top of the radio inside the fairing. This amp is rated for 165 watts per channel, but it’s wired in what’s called bridged to provide a much as 300 watts to each speaker. So even with the volume on the radio cranked, there’s more than enough power to ensure that every word and music note will be crystal clear.
The icing on the cake for this upgrade was a Rockford Fosgate DSR1 digital signal processor. This compact and processor allows us to fine-tune the speakers’ output to deliver smooth frequency response that offers impressive realism. Why a DSP? All the best audio systems in clubs, stadiums and high-end car audio installations use them to get the best sound possible. On Harleys, they are a fundamental part of our upgrade packages, and they deal with the unpleasant equalization built into the factory Boom! Box radio.

Our founder, Parish Tanner, is an avid biker. He not only owns and rides several Harleys, but he is an avid member of the motorcycle community. The bike is a 1991 Harley-Davidson FLHT that was purchased by Ocala Car Audio. It is being restored and upgraded thanks to the generous product, service and financial support of the following local businesses:
If you follow Parish on Social Media, it’s clear that he is passionate about Ocala and Marion County. Parish said “Our Vets must be respected and honored, and never discarded or forgotten. They are the men and women who put their lives in harm’s way and allow us to live the lives we do.” If you are interested in our project to support our Veterans through the Harley-Davidson FLHT or Nissan truck giveaway, drop by Ocala Car Audio and speak with Parish or send an e-mail using our contact page.

The 95-HDIF makes upgrading your Harley sound system easier than ever. The stock radio location allows for a Single-DIN radio chassis. While there are many radio options available in that size, they don’t compare to what’s available from a Double-DIN radio.

Our staff members aren’t just audio fanatics; we love motorcycles as well. Let’s look at
