If you can swing it Raven try to find the Moto's at a better price on another site. As HAZE said you don't want a class A amp on your scooter and if you want to maintain FM reception AND good quality sound it's gonna cost you brother. No way around it. Other than that you are going to be chasing your tail trying to find other alternatives. Best thing you can do is pony up and get the BT2180 amp and the Arc Moto 602 speakers. 
I think BT had 100.00 off their amps for Christmas (if FM reception is a must), and the Moto's by far have the most bass. Other option is the B2 and the BT 7P1 speakers. Any combination of those four (amps - 2180 or B2 speakers Motos or 7P1s) and I think your good.
But holy cow, you're gonna wait 2 YEARS to upgrade your audio again. I can't go 2 weeks!

I can't justify a BT amp, it's just far too expensive for what you get. I guess I'll just have to learn to be without FM and I'm leaning toward the B52 for $150ish. And I don't want to spend any more than $300 on speakers and the BT 7.1's are $270. I think that might be a winning combo.

Let me rephrase that, spending $400 for an amplifier would not be the smart thing to do for my situation. I can spend $150 and I shouldn't ever be able to notice a difference between the two amps.

If your audio OCD kicks in and you just have to tweak things a bit you really have to try the Hertz Millie. Just pulled my 2 month old Focal 6.5s off the bike for Millie and the Focals will never go back on it. Pretty substantial difference/improvement and I really did like the Focals as well.

I am sure there are better sounding systems out there. I just havent seen one better on this small of a budget. By the time I change these out, Im sure there will be another requirement.

Another options to consider is to choose quality components that can be moved over to the a new bike. Put the old stuff back in before you trade. Just a thought.

I'm going to have a Cerwin Vega B2 and a set of Kappa 62.11i's for sale later next week. Amp has been in the bike for 2 days and 1 test ride, Kappa's have been in about 3 weeks.
