Harley-Davidson CVO Street Glide ST Amplifiers & Speakers

Harley-Davidson Audio powered by Rockford Fosgate places these speakers in the saddlebag lids to bring more sound around both rider and passenger. Harley-Davidson presents the upgrade as a way to increase volume and retain clearer highs, midrange and bass with less distortion at road speeds. The film compares two three-way systems: Stage II 76001555 uses 5 × 7-inch speakers rated to handle up to 150 watts each; Stage III 76001556 uses larger 6 × 9-inch speakers rated in the film for up to 250 watts each. Those figures describe speaker power handling, so amplifier choice remains a separate part of the system.

Both use injection-moulded woofer cones, with a separate bridge-mounted 30 mm midrange driver and 20 mm tweeter. The film describes high-flux N48 neodymium magnets. The 2-ohm speakers are waterproof and vibration tested, with the Element Ready design intended for exposure to water, dirt, UV and motorcycle vibration. Stage III adds Performance Red trim rings and grille inserts, as well as its larger speaker format.

The cut-in kits retain the original saddlebag lids but require speaker openings to be cut into them. The supplied drill/cutting template guides that work; a bucket and backer form the cradle for each speaker. Left and right speakers and installation hardware are included, with the Stage III trim pieces in that version. Separately purchased moulded, colour-matched speaker lids are an alternative to modifying the original lids. The film shows the template and cradle so the mounting arrangement is clear before you choose the kit.

Both references are for the specified 2024-on Touring models with Skyline OS, excluding 2024 FLHTK and FLTRK. A separate Saddlebag Speaker Installation Kit 76001300 is required. Systems with one or two accessory speaker sets require Primary Amplifier 76001294 if not already fitted; three or four sets additionally require Secondary Amplifier 76001444 and Left Saddlebag Amplifier Installation Kit 76001385, as applicable to the existing equipment.

Harley-Davidson describes these systems as garage-ready in most cases, with configuration and fine-tuning through the Skyline OS touchscreen after installation. Check the complete amplifier and installation-kit requirements before ordering: the separate secondary amplifier’s instructions also call for Digital Technician activation and recommend dealer installation. Cutting the lids, fitting the speakers and configuring the finished audio system are distinct parts of the upgrade.

Adding rear speakers in a Grand Tour-Pak brings sound closer to the passenger and extends an existing two- or four-speaker system. Harley-Davidson presents the change as providing more available volume and clearer sound with less distortion at highway speeds. All three stages shown are 6.5-inch speakers, but their driver arrangements, impedance and power handling differ.

Stage I 76001512 is a two-way, 4-ohm design rated for up to 75 watts per speaker. It combines an injection-moulded woofer, high-flux neodymium magnet and bridge-mounted 25 mm tweeter, with a black grille badge. Stage II 76001513 moves to a three-way, 2-ohm design rated for up to 150 watts each, using a 30 mm midrange driver and 20 mm tweeter alongside the woofer; its grille badge is bright aluminium. Stage III 76001514 is also three-way and 2-ohm, but rated for up to 250 watts each, with a substantial N48 neodymium magnet and the same 30 mm/20 mm driver sizes. Performance Red trim rings and grille inserts identify Stage III. The film also specifies N48 magnets for Stage II.

The speakers are waterproof and vibration tested, with Element Ready construction intended to withstand water, dirt, UV and motorcycle vibration. Kits supply left and right speakers and grilles for the appropriate housings. If adding speakers to an accessory Grand Tour-Pak, installation kit 76001510 provides the speaker pods and wiring; the speakers and luggage carrier are separate purchases. This installation hardware is not an additional speaker stage.

Amplification depends on the complete system. The film describes an extra 600-watt amplifier when expanding to six or eight speakers. Current speaker requirements identify Primary Amplifier 76001294 for one or two accessory speaker sets; three or four sets also need Secondary Amplifier 76001444 and Left Saddlebag Amplifier Installation Kit 76001385, accounting for equipment already fitted. The secondary amplifier is separately specified as 600 watts. For Trikes, the speaker listings call for primary and secondary amplifiers with Trike installation kit 76001509. That kit’s own fitment is specifically 2026-on FLHLT and FLHLTSE; other Trike models need their exact installation requirements checked before purchase. Component instructions matter too: the secondary amplifier calls for Digital Technician activation and recommends dealer installation.

Grand Tour-Pak luggage and Skyline OS are essential fitment requirements. Stage I lists specified 2023-on Touring and 2026-on Trike applications; Stage II and III list 2023-on CVO Street Glide/Road Glide, specified 2024-on Touring and 2026-on Trikes. The 2024 FLHTK and FLTRK exclusions remain. Stage II is factory equipment on 2026-on FLHXLSE and FLHLTSE. Check the exact speaker and installation-kit listings for the motorcycle’s existing carrier and audio equipment, then use Skyline OS to configure the completed system as directed. The film’s “garage-ready in most cases” description does not remove those equipment and activation requirements.

This Harley-Davidson Audio powered by Rockford Fosgate film compares three speaker pairs for compatible air-cooled fairing lowers. Harley-Davidson explains that adding lower speakers to an existing two- or four-speaker system increases available sound pressure, allowing higher listening volume with less distortion and clearer sound at highway speeds. Choose a stage for the complete system and the exact motorcycle configuration.

Stage I, part 76001453, uses two-way 6.5-inch, 4-ohm speakers rated for up to 75 watts each. The film shows injection-moulded woofer cones, high-flux neodymium magnets and bridge-mounted 25 mm tweeters. This pair offers the entry specification of the three kits compared.

Stage II, part 76001454, moves to three-way 6.5-inch, 2-ohm speakers rated for up to 150 watts each. Each unit combines an injection-moulded woofer with a high-flux neodymium magnet, a 20 mm tweeter and a separate 30 mm midrange driver. Harley-Davidson presents the extra capacity as a way to obtain more volume with less distortion at speed.

Stage III, part 76001455, raises the rating to up to 250 watts per speaker. These three-way 6.5-inch, 2-ohm units use injection-moulded woofer cones, large high-flux neodymium N48 magnets, 20 mm tweeters and 30 mm midrange drivers. The film identifies the redesigned fairing lowers on applicable 2023-and-later models and describes clearer high, mid and bass reproduction; this is not a claim that every motorcycle from 2023 accepts the kit.

All three are described as waterproof and vibration tested, with an Element Ready design intended to withstand water, dirt, UV exposure and motorcycle vibration. Each kit includes the subassembly, hardware, left and right speakers and grilles. Stage III adds Performance Red trim rings and grille inserts. In supported installations, the film demonstrates configuring the completed system through Skyline OS touchscreen prompts.

The speaker kit is only part of the installation. A separate air-cooled fairing-lower speaker installation kit, the appropriate engine guard, amplifier and amplifier installation kit are required according to model. Six- or eight-speaker systems also need a secondary 600-watt amplifier. The current installation references include 76001392 and, where specified for the amplifier arrangement, 76001385; confirm the complete combination before ordering. Further parts may be necessary.
