Default What to do?

OK so hears the background. Not new to bikes or Harleys. This is my first bagger. I use to do car audio installation. So with that being said. I can't decide if I should buy a audio system for my bike as a package. Like hogtunes, or biketronics etc... Or should I piece one together. I do have a 4 channel alpine class d amp that will fit in one of my bags. And a set of focal 6.5 components in the front fairing w coaxials in the lower fairings. Any feed back would be great.

Which alpine, Focals and coaxials?

The only package worth a damn is Biketronics don't bother with the rest. Depending on what you already have that could work out great. You should also consider an agent market HU.

I would go with what you got. There's tons of options out there and you'll go nuts searching. The Alpine puts out quality sound, No point in spending a ton of cash unless you are trying to really put a competition stereo together. I think what you got will sound great, especially with a new HU
