IMO...there are much better options $$$ for $$$ out there
Biketrionix, Hawg-Wired, Soundzcustom and others have nice stage II setups that will out-perform the Hog-tunes for the $$$ spent
Search the threads on here, the guys that really know their stuff can help you put together a really good sounding system for not a lot of $$
Back away from the hog tunes....LOL

That kit is about 700 bucks so with that amount of cash in your budget u should be able get a smoking custom system.
Start by making a piece meal list of items u will need starting with the amp then wiring kit, speaks front, and pods.
U will do very well if u create your own custom set up bro. The guys here will provide excellent assistance.

Same here. I think you can do a whole lot better than Hogtunes. (Just to be clear, the only thing I know about stereos is how to turn up the volume & listen to them! This is just my opinion.) Hogtunes was my very 1st stereo upgrade when I bought my 1st Harley (EG Classic) in 09. Didn't take long for me to realize it wasn't that great. Then I heard about the Titan II 6.5 upgrade from Biketronics. THAT'S the way to go with what you want to spend. It's definitely a good one. I see there are packages where you can get the speakers & an amp for what you want to spend. Go for that one. You won't be disappointed, believe me. Plus, there used to be a lifetime guarantee on the speakers (maybe there still is) --- if you blow one up, they'll replace it for free. Can't go wrong with that. I spent a lot of money on a JL Audio system for mine, but if I ever went back to something else, I'd go back to Biketronics in a heartbeat.
Also, I was amazed at how much better quality I got when I replaced the stock Harmon Kardon head unit. I bought a $79 Sony DSX-S100 (mainly because it had a tune tray, and I could put my Ipod right inside it --- I'm all Ipod tunes), but it was such an improvement in the sound & quality. I recommend doing that too. That Sony is discontinued now, but they're still out there on Amazon, etc. I might have to replace mine, and I'm getting another one. Hey, $79 every 2 years for better quality?
Biketronics has the Hogtunes Tweeter Pod too. In my opinion, don't waste your money on it.
