Considering turnkey upgrade options, so many choices !
This is one example of a turnkey solution offered by an HDF vendor. Is this any good? Why or why not? I understand that perception of music is very subjective, and that each bike is a unique platform... I'm just looking for a CLEAN power boost with some EQ-ability. Only looking to upgrade the front fairing, and I will pay for quality and clean power. 2015 SG with the 4.3 HU
Here's the example turnkey solution below, if anyone has comments or suggestions then please help me out!
Hertz MPK 165p.3 (components)
Diamond Micro 2v2 Amplifier
Amp wiring Kit
BT 355 Line Level shifter
Grills w/ Tweets mounted

I just got my TG back yesterday after having the Stage II Boom Audio installed. I had the Stage I set up which was good, but I wanted a bit more clarity while doing 75/80 mph on the highway. I now have that - WOW! what a difference.

Thx-
Thx-
The first thing u really must identify is the ultimate finish line. Is the going to remain a 2 speak set up? U gonna ever add lids or lowers?
With those clearly identified, the amp selection process becomes much easier.
Just want to try and help u get in a position that will give u the foundation to build upon based on your goals and budget.

Would u mind sharing a ball park cost associated with your upgrade and separately the install cost, so ur brothers have a good idea what the current price point are?
Glad u like ur sound!!!!!

Welcome to the club rv7.. Like you said music is subjective to each of us, and we all have our own perception of what we would like our music to sound like.
What kind of budget do you have ? Do you want room for growth on your system? maybe not now but later I bet you will. Tailwind is correct, plan ahead for the next upgrade with the right amp from the get go. I said the same thing you've said then all that changed for me. I did a lot of research before finally making my choice. I would look at the products from Biketronics they have some nice stuff and it has a LIFETIME warranty and the customer service is OUTSTANDING !!!! Good luck with your upgrade.

Don't do like i did. I rushed things a little bit and did my fairing only upgrade. Then i quickly decided on lids, then tour pak, and now have just about changed everything out. **** gets expensive quick. If i would've thought through the process a little more and started out with the higher end stuff i jave now, i would have saved myself a lot of money in the long run.
You're gonna get some good advice from the guys here. Take your time and come up with what you feel you can comfortably spend with an end goal in mind.

I definitely appreciate the advice so far, especially the need for patience and research / mapping out the desired end result.
I know what I want and what I don't; specifically I really don't want to deal with lowers or tourpak on a Street Glide. I'm trying to get the best clear, balanced power possible out of a speaker + amp upgrade. If I can gain the ability to EQ/tune the system a bit, then so much the better. Bass would be nice, but I'm not fooling myself about the capabilities of ANY 6.5" speaker... lol.
Would a Diamond 4-ch bridged amp be a good choice? Gimme some specific recommendations!
Thanks
