Default Plug and Play Systems?

Looking for some plug and play or something that can be wired up easily for an upgrade to a '15 street glide special.

Not looking to win any competitions, but would like better sound quality than the stock head unit and the boom upgraded speakers that I purchased.

I am somewhat electrically inclined when it comes to splicing wires together if I have some clear directions, but would rather have a plug and play system if possible.

Currently only have the speakers in the fairing, probably will be staying that way for a while.

Looking to be in the $800 to $1000 range or less.

Thanks for your help.

I would highly recommend that you reach out to Bagger Audio Lab here. It is not going to be plug and play, but you already said that you don't NEED it to be. For under $1,000 Haze can get you set up really nice with the ability to expand in the future.

I absolutely know that u know that I know that u know that I was that plug and play guy when I first showed up here on HDF!!!! Worst mistake I ever made was thinking I had to have a plug and play "system."

What I really should have wanted was a couple of harness that prevented me from cutting into a warrantied sled followed by some awesome audio components that either plugged in, butt connected with a simple crimper, or stuffed into the side of an amp or on a speaker lead and at half the cost of the shix I actually got but twice as good.

OP, u picking up what I'm laying down that we know that u know that you know how to connect a few wires and can acquire a couple of harnesses that plug into your sled enabling a blank slate for one hell of a custom system?

We know u know bro!!!!!
