Why Harley-Davidson® Audio Struggles at High Speeds
Harley® riders know this all too well: you spend time and money on a quality motorcycle speaker kit or upgrade your Harley-Davidson® audio system, and everything sounds perfect while sitting in the driveway. Then you hit the highway, twist the throttle, and suddenly your tuned setup sounds...muddy.
It's frustrating, but here's the thing: it's not a speaker problem. It's a vibration problem.
Fairings vibrate. Plastic panels flex. Sound waves scatter instead of projecting forward. Every panel on your bike is a potential echo chamber, canceling out frequencies and creating distortion. On a Harley® with a front fairing, this is amplified because those panels are thin, flexible, and exposed to wind forces at speed.
This is where Dynamat® comes in.
What is Dynamat®?
Dynamat® is a high-performance sound deadening material designed to control vibration and resonance. Instead of letting panels buzz, flex, or rattle, Dynamat® absorbs that energy and converts it into low-level heat.
On motorcycles, especially Harleys® with front fairings, that matters more than most riders realize.
It works like this: your speaker generates a sound, panels vibrate from that sound, and some of those vibrations reflect back, interfering with the original signal. Dynamat® cuts down those vibrations at the source, letting your speakers do their job without fighting the bike itself.
Benefits of Dynamat® on motorcycles:
- Reduces panel vibration inside the fairing.
- Prevents sound wave cancellation that muddles audio.
- Allows speakers to project clean audio forward.
- Improves bass response and mid-range clarity.
Less vibration = more consistent sound. That's it!
How Dynamat® Improves Harley® Audio Kits
When paired with Harley-Davidson® audio kits, Dynamat® creates an immediate improvement you can hear.
Pairing a Harley-Davidson® audio kit with Dynamat® isn't just a "nice to have", it's often the missing piece in the upgrade puzzle.
Riders typically notice:
- Louder perceived volume without increasing wattage.
- Tighter bass with minimal rattling.
- Clearer vocals at highway speeds.
- Reduced distortion at both low and high RPM ranges.
Think about it this way: your speakers can finally breathe. They're not fighting the vibrations from the bike itself, so what you hear is exactly what you should hear.
