Default Buying new stereo with amp and speakers

Just curious, I have been looking into arc audio m.p.a.k. For my electra glide standard anybody use this product or have any suggestions. I really doNt want to put anything into the bags just replace stock speakers and install a amp.

I would check out the "Audio Systems" section on the forum. Great information there.

Audio section is where you need to be. I can't speak to replacing the head unit as I'm keeping the HK.
In any case, I have a '13 FLHTC and after much deliberation and questions in the audio section, I went with:

Rockford Fosgate PBR 300x2 amp for $140
Biketronics BT7P1 Titan II 7.1" speakers for $259

Using the oem HK head unit and just the 2 speakers in the fairing.

I have heard nothing but good things about this set up and this kind of upgrade for $400 is a good deal.

Don't have it installed yet as the speakers are on back order but should be shipped this week.

As for an AMP and speakers. I just installed JM 360watt amp and 3 way speakers in my 2012 Ultra Classic. They are GREAT! I done a lot or research and thought JM to be the best bang for my buck. I can rock out at 80mph going down the E-WAY now.

I had ARC Audio once. It wasn't bad at all. I heard that the ARC Mini was a good amp so I kept it when I upgraded speakers to the Biketronics Titan II upgrade. Look at those speakers, and get the mini amp.

Too many options to list. I started with a PBR 300x2 and biketronics 7.1's and it grew from there.
The audio section is the place to be.
