Default 2015 Biketronic Road Glide Audio System

So the 2015 Biketronics speakers and amp came out today but you only have one option to go with so I'm kind of skeptical about getting them

BT2180 amplifier with the BT465 6.5" speaker kit $689.95




and the 5x7 BT479 Rear Kit $399.95



please give me your opinion if i should go with it or not

If that's what Bill says will fit and Biketronics is what you want then I say go for it. Evidently the 7.1s won't fit in the new RG fairing.

2010 Limited with some stuff

That’s about 1000 bucks to your door. Compared to what some guys have paid for the Boom systems and ended up ripping them out, I’d say that’s well worth it.

I called but I didn't talk to bill but those are the only speakers and that's the only amp they have...yea the 7.1 won't fit the 2015 which sucks big time and they can't find a way to fit a 6x9 in the lids :/

If you speaking about the brand itself it is highly thought of here. Great products, great company tech support, and a lifetime guarantee. If it were me though I'd spend the money and get the 4 channel 4180 amp instead of the 2 channel. Of course it's easy to spend others peoples money. The only thing some dislike about the amps is that there's no gain controls. I have no experience with a RG system but if that's what Bill suggests I believe it.

The 2 channel is all they have for the 2015 RG

That 2 channel amp is powerful enough to run 4 speakers in parallel. If it were me I'd just buy two of em... Lol
No worries on the quality. If Bill endorsed it. It's good to go!
