Default 2003 Electra Glide upgrade...

Went ahead and ordered after I read all the posts I could find. Wanted to improve the sound quality but not break the bank.
  1. Arc Audio 6.5" Speaker Adapter Rings
  2. Rockford Fosgate PBR300X2
  3. Infinity Kappa 6.5"
  4. BOSS Audio KIT2 8 Gauge Amplifier Installation Kit

Without replacing the HU I hope I made the correct choice as the first step in better sound.

Great...with knowledgeable members I can spend wisely. Wife told me to sell the race truck and buy more Harleys since they're much more affordable. I'm keeping her for life.
