Blank Slate. Help me do it right!
just like the title says. I just scored a '96 FLHTP for $1500. Its my first bagger, so I wanna put a bitchin' system in it. I just want to know whats the general consensus for it. With that being said, before everyone grabs their torches and riots, Ill try and answer some of the most noob-y questions everyone forgets in the beginning.
-'96 FHLTP
-nothing has been added, its bone stock
-budget: Preferably $800-900 max
-install will be done by me, so labor cost is not a factor except for the cost of beer I will charge myself. The wife and the 6yo daughter provide sammichs from time to time.
-no lowers, and I dont want to replace lids. I only want fairing speakers
-has anyone ever put speakers in the bottom gauge mounts on a Police edition? waste of time and effort?
-I want loud at 75-80. Not parking lot-trailer queen-block party bagger loud. Preferably where the wife on the back can hear, but this isnt a HUGE issue since she doesnt ride all the time.
thanks for the help everyone!

Totals $949. I think with the forum discount, it would be around $900.

It would have been a value to me if I would have started with Biketronics to begin with instead of spending money on other stuff. But that's my opinion.
If you want less expensive, you can get a basic install kit since you don't need a hand control interface module and put in any head unit you want. You can also go with a pbr300x2 amp and either the BT 7.1" speakers, or Infinity 60.11i's with arc audio adaptor rings. You could probably do the whole thing for under $500.
Many ways to go.

On my FLHT, I just swapped my fuel/volt meter gauges to the lower holes and put my tweeters up top. Much better sound stage in those gauge holes.
