Default Did it..ordered the BT set-up

Well, thanks to all. I went ahead and ordered the BT 2180 amp and 7.1 speakers for my '16 FLHXS. Will use the factory 6.5 Infotainment head unit. I wanted a good quality plug and play set up. Sold a bunch of parts I had laying around so it only cost me $130 out of pocket after the discount. Now the wait.

Don't worry, that **** eating grin will eventually subside to a little less child like smile. Takes a while though. Enjoy the good stuff.

Way to go!!! If you purchased the package everything's included.
You're going to love it.

When you install the BT speaker brackets (before tighting them down) use some foam or backer rod to fill the gap around the speakers between the bracket and the inner fairing. Just make it's secure and does not touch the surround of the speaker.

Thanks Bert but darn if I can orient the speakers in the photos you attached. I do see the foam rod placement though.
