Default my 2012 Road glide stereo su@#s

I have a 2012 road glide and the stereo is weak at best, I need something better. I have an ultra and did a biketronics stereo and amp with speakers but thought there may be something better for around the same price. so I thought I would ask here. has any one used Aquatic AV Bluetooth Stereo or is that a waste.
thanks

Congratulations, you're the first person I have heard of that has a Biketronics rig and doesn't like it. Unfortunately, that's as good as it gets. Good luck.

I have the same setup in my 13 RG and very happy with it. Some guys are going with the kenwood 998, it gives you more options for the internal equalizer settings. I also think it has HD radio if you're looking for that.

Thanks for the clarification. . . I was confused as well. Biketronics is king. But if you want to try something different on your road glide just for comparison's sake. check out the Arc Moto 602's with the Moto 600.4 amp. or you could go with the Soundstream 1000D. Should fit in the 2012. Awesome set up!
