Default very confusing ,help please

hi, been doing alot of searching on here on audio upgrades, but there are so many options ,i am very dumb when it comes to this stuff, but i want a good sounding system, i have a 2014 streetgide special with stock audio, but arc,focal, BT ,line levelers ,just to much,i want a good sound system starting in front fairing,but this next winter go with lids and speakers, no lowers ,i got between 800 to 1000 bucks to do front but want it so it works with upgrades in lids in the future, i will get lids from "the factory Match" but no speakers or nothing so can put in what is best,hope not to much rambling,thanks in advance

Well to keep things simple for you I would go with Biketronics. Great product and customer service. Talk with Bill. Haze and Gann will chime in to give you some other options to fit within your budget as well as they have tested quite a few products out there.

I also have the 2014 SGS and strongly recommend the BT4180 & LL kit and also the speaker brackets. As for the speakers, I went a little different direction than BT but you will never hear a bad thing about the BT 7.1s.

$325 is a good price for those speakers and will sound great in your front fairing.

Let me know when you land on an amp and PM me for pricing. I'm trying to take care of all the forum members with great deals now that I'm a vendor.
