Good day all,
I have a 2015 SGS and have all my parts arriving bit by bit.
- RF PBR300x4
- RF P165
- RF P1650
All harnesses and speaker grills from vtwinaudio.com:
- VTTO14, amplifier turn-on wire connector
- VTAM14, 2014 & Up Street, Electra & Ultra Glide, amplifier mount
- VTFSA14RF, 2014 & Up Harley Ft Spk Interface For Rockford Fosgate Amps
- VTRSO14RF 2014 & Up Harley Rear Spk Interface For Rockford Fosgate Amps
- VTHAW power wire harness
- VTFG14 fairing grills
- VTFLG14 fairing lower grill
I'm using the Hogworkz.com Lower fairings with speaker pods. Am I going to require the line levelers, or should it work fine off the amp as is?
Do I need to flash the HU? If so, what flash do I need?
Thanks in advance for all input...

The speaker interface includes the input wires from the line level outs from the amp to the RF amp, and the RF amp outs to the HD speaker connector.
Looking at the price of the BT Line leveller, I'd need 2 (one for fairing, one for lower fairing)? After currency exchange and shipping, that's over $250.
How much is it to flash the radio?
Is either completely necessary?

I like the BT LLs as I have been told that the BT LLs actually filter out some of the shix from the Rushmore HU before it hits the amp. I think your Interfaces are about 50 bucks each and the BTs are like 70 so get some popcorn and be prepared to send the interfaces back if a 40 (20 each) buck delta in price will actually get you a better audio product / sound. I have only tried BT so no experience to share other than I like!!!
To answer your specific question, you can indeed go live with what you have.

All the parts are sitting in my garage at home, waiting for me to get back from the desert. I'll let you know in a few months once I get back and get it all installed...

Technically you will not need the BT line levelers because you have ordered the RF interfaces for front and rear. Those essentially accomplish the goal of getting you plug and play, however you will be using high level HU output versus low level HU output. In English that means that you will be using the supplied interface speaker wire as the input into your amp. The BT LL uses RCAs into your amp.

You might reach out to Bill at BT and get a technical product description regarding the filtering that is accomplished by the LL. This may be something u will find value in while others will use the tuning capability of the amp and/or equalizer. Think BT has filtered the Rushmore low end that drives the distortion that the HU is known for. I think!!!
