maxxcount Sound Pack 2F-MOD 400 suitable for Harley-Davidson® Road Glide™
Are you looking for a sound upgrade for your touring bike and are both an extra portion of bass and an outstanding price/performance ratio important to you? Then it's definitely worth taking a look at the maxxcount SoundPacks suitable for Harley-Davidson®!
We looked at and, above all, listened to the various versions of the systems on the market and were sure that there was still more to be done!
Together with our partners and BIKE specialists in the USA, we then selected particularly reliable components that are especially suitable in terms of sound for optimum bass reproduction and combined them with as many plug & play parts as possible in our maxxcount soundpacks in various stages of expansion.
So you can be sure - no matter whether you decide on a maxxcount sound pack with 2 / 4 / 6 speakers or a subwoofer setup - you will always get a kit with above-average rich and fat sounding and especially proven components!
All maxxcount sound packs come with plug & play cable sets and installation accessories, so nothing is "fiddled" with the original wiring harness. Instead, everything can be professionally installed with weatherproof plugs and cables - and, of course, dismantled without a trace. Brackets are also supplied for mounting the amplifiers, which can be perfectly fitted to existing mounting points.
Our Soundpacks are available in 2 versions - a version with speakers that fit directly into the original speaker housings and our MOD version, which requires slight modifications for particularly bass-strong speakers (with a larger magnet). However, the feedback from our customers is absolutely clear here - the great sound is definitely worth the manageable extra effort!
If you have any questions about the SoundUpgrade for your bike or about the maxxcount SoundPacks, we are always there for you

Attention: On all Harley-Davidson® from 2014 onwards, the factory radio must be flashed before installing a maxxcount Sound Pack to prevent damage to the speakers!
Why do Harley-Davidson® from 2014 have to be flashed before an amplifier is retrofitted?
1. PROBLEM:
The 2014 Harley-Davidson® OEM factory radios use a "high fidelity" EQ curve that provides a powerful sound on low-power systems (the red curve in the picture below).
However, when retrofitted with an external amplifier, this curve over-amplifies bass and treble, causing significant distortion at higher levels and speaker damage.
2. SOLUTION:
Reset the factory EQ curve to a neutral (flat) EQ curve (see green line above) by "flashing" the Harley-Davidson® radio so that the downstream DSP or amplifier gets a neutral input signal and the connected speakers are not damaged.
This is the simplest and cheapest method to solve the problem. The "flash" method is also the acoustically optimal solution as it preserves signal integrity and thus provides maximum dynamic range and voltage potential from the source device for optimal sound quality.
Please do not use a line leveler to lower the EQ curve, as this will cut all frequencies sharply above 200Hz, thereby clipping a large part of the bass range!
3. How to flash the Harley-Davidson® Radios 2014+?
To flash the Harley-Davidson® radio you need special programming tools such as Diag4Bike or the kit from TechnoResearch.
However, if you own an older generation radio (all devices without touchscreen such as the 4.3" device with 11 buttons or the 6.5" GT radio with 4 buttons) and have always flirted with the latest Apple Carplay or Android Auto functions, you might consider a cutting-edge 7" touchscreen radio with all functions such as the SoundStream HDHU14+ (our item number: A22360) might be an option - it doesn't need to be flashed anymore ;-)
4. How to get the programming tools?
4.1. If you buy a BIKE kit from us, we will provide you with our TechnoResearch kit free of charge and on loan for 10 days at the installation date.
4.2. If you don't have the confidence to do this, you can of course ask the Harley-Davidson® specialist of your choice if he is able to flash the EQ of the radio.
4.3. If you have any questions about flashing, please contact us.
