Default FLHT Audio From Scratch

Hey Guys. I've recently purchased a 2007 FLHT which has no stereo but has factory thumb controls. I've read here on forums that the controls are prewired, and obviously I want a stereo. Again, forum chatter has me looking at Biketronics for a system, but I'm wondering what other options I might have to get the same performance from an aftermarket system without the Biketronics cost. Any installs that you've got to share with me would be appreciated.

You have a ton of options available to you. It really all depends on what your looking for out of your system. I will be glad to help you out in anyway I can. We specialize in Bagger audio at the shop.

Well one of the first and most important questions is what is your budget.???

We're you going to do the install yourself of have a shop do it for you?

You can go from mild to wild it all depends on the $$$$$

do it once and do it right. get the best possible 4 channel amp that is 2 ohm stable that you can afford, to power at least four 4ohm speakers, maybe even 6, cuz if you start with just 2 speakers, you will want 4, if you start with 4, you will want 6

ask me how i know this. lol
