Question Audio upgrade on 2015 LTHK

I am on the fence.. Hog Tunes vs BT.. the more m reading I see the BT needs a line leveler... so the cost is going up and up. want to ride and hear my tunes... Not looking for a Jukebox.. BT is great and hear good things about HT... I feel more for less with HT... but ....
Again I'm just looking for good sound at highway speeds

Hogtunes is not in the same galaxy as Biketronics.

Any upgrade that has any real amplification will require line levelers, flash, DSP....etc or something to flatten the stock EQ curve. What happens with under powered systems is that the amplifier is so weak the stock EQ curve does not cause distortion at low volume levels.

With the 2015. Any system you install is going to need the BT line leveler. You definitely don't want the hog tune system if you want loud and clear on the highway. If you like the BT speakers just go with the 7.1's and the JL MHX280/4 amp. Bridge it to those speakers and get off the fence . . . Lol!!
