Need to spend less time here! $$$
Well after trying to get the Hog Tunes set up to sound as good as it can (but still WAY less than I want), I've made the plunge into bigger and better.
It seems to me that Biketronics is the way to go. I've yet to see anyone say here on the forums they are unhappy with the 7.1 and 2180 set up. I love they fact there is a lifetime warranty in place and the people I've spoken with there seem really nice.
I know there are less expensive alternatives out there and I could have pieced some things together for a lot less money. There is something to be said about a lifetime warranty though. That and I am not a patient person so I don't want to mess around with piecing it all together.
Not only that but they do have a money back guarantee. IF I feel the hog-tunes weren't as bad as I originally thought, I can send the Biketronics stuff back for a full refund. Not a bad deal!
At this point I think I'm trying to justify the cost here
Oh well...its only money and you can't take it with you when you go!
Anyway, like I said up top: I need to spend less time on the forums. I am spending way too much money lately between this and Fuel Moto I may end up sleeping on the couch.

After you install the BT system, you will wish you had done it a long time ago. There is NO comparison between BT and Hogtunes. Honestly it's money well spent, especially living in Orlando where you can ride just about year round.

BT7.1s are great speakers... if you must save some money, save on the amp (NOT the speakers).
Alternatives are to be found in many many threads here...
Cerwin B2 to name one. SS 4.1000D or the PA version if you got 4 speakers (or more) or planning them in the (near) future.

The 2180 is a better amp than the B2.
It's a cleaner, fuller sound and louder. The other advantage is obviously the warranty, but also not having to worry about the gains and if you're using their speakers...no better set up than combining it with their amp. The biggest advantage for some is the 2180 doesn't impact FM reception where the B2 (for some) has caused loss of FM reception.
Now I'm not bad talking the B2. It's 119.00 at Sonic and it is miles ahead of any 2 channel amp in that price range. Previously the PBR300X2 was the go-to small amp of choice and the B2 is a MUCH better amp than the PBR.

Need to figure out the settings for the Sony MEX-GS610BT next.
Thanks again for the input!
