Class D amps tend to kill FM reception, so given that the PBR 300x2 is a proven performer that will save some money over the Biketronics unit. I myself at one time used it with the Polk MM 651's and loved it, but I had longevity problems with the Polks. Had it not been for that I'd still be using them, they sounded great. The 300x2 is stable at both 2 and 4 ohms so your speaker choices are much improved should you decide to change them later on. Lots of folks run it and it's a common go to upgrade. The Biketronics is a better amp IMO, if for no other reason than it has a lifetime warranty but it's costlier. You can't go wrong with either. One thing though.....if you're like me after a while you'll want more. If you decide later to add a second pair of speakers a 4 channel amp is the ticket. If I had known then what I know now I would have gone with a four channel amp from the start, but keeping FM limits your choices.

The 2 channel BT 2180 has a provision to add a second pair of speakers in parallel and is a good choice, but you won't be able to fade front to rear. Not a big deal for some. Certainly not if you're sticking with just two speakers. It's the best amp on the market IMO.

So, I have been looking at the Rushmore RGS and was considering the Boom II system with bag lid speakers,,, What would I be looking in cost if I bought the bike totally stock, and did my system myself, I want very good on the system,, What is the cost on the BT 120 , and what speakers are recommended?
I also would consider HD bag lids, unless it's easy to get them from Hog Tunes with good paint matching, (going with amber whiskey)
Is there a decent estimate I would be looking at for total cost to my door?
