Need help confused
Ok guys after hours of reading this forum a couple of posts and a trip to the local stereo store I'm more confused than ever about the speaker and amp choice for my 2014 streetglide. I'm looking not necessarily for the loudest but for good clarity and bass at a fairly loud volume. I still listen to fm sometimes so I know that plays into amp choice. I would like to be in at under $1000 for both if possible. Want to make the right choice and do it once. I may add bag speakers at a later date which may require 2nd amp I understand. Waiting on lids for 2014. Doesn't have to be plug and play but doesn't hurt either. The speakers I have looked at so far are hertz esk 165.5 and hcx 165 biketronics 7.1 (not sure about the pod replacement bracket though. Any feedback?) and jl c5 650x.I haven't listened to any of these purely going off feedback from you guys. Thanks

The JL's have cross overs which make the set up a little more labor intensive. That said the 7.1's are more user friendly from a set up standpoint, not only that. . . Biketronics has already set the speakers up for the new bikes. i.e., pod replacement bracket.
That brings us to the amp. The only logical choice for you is the Biketronics 4180 or the rockford fosgate PBR300X2. (Due to FM issues) If you are going to add lids later you would need two of the rockford amps @ $170.00 ea. IMO it only makes sense for you to go with the Biketronics set up all the way around and be done. The speakers and the amp is going to put you right at $1000.00 give or take a few bucks. Problem is. . . It won't end there. Next you'll be looking at an aftermarket HU, rain cover, Lid's and speakers, Paint, etc. . . I don't know of anyone yet who has escaped for $1,000 . . . LOL. . . That's my feedback Sir!

Website price still gets you just under $1000.00. I bet you could get a better package deal and/or forum discount talking to Bill. As Gann said, contact Hogpro for a quote. He claims to have great prices on BT stuff.
