2010 FLHTK Audio upgrades
Afternoon everyone. I've been lurking do a couple months and have really tried to do my research, I'm looking to upgrade my audio on my 2010 ultra limited. My wife has given me a 800 dollar budget and I'm having a hard time finding what I need. My bike has quick release for the tour pack, and I primarily ride it without the tour pack. So, here's what I'm looking for.
Need better sound for me as I tend to ride the bike daily during the week back and forth to work and I'm on the interstate for 25 minutes.
Want the be able to remove and add my tour pack on the fly.
Want the rear speakers to work when the tour pack is installed.
Thoughts and thanks in advance!!

The first question we always ask other than budget is do you want to keep your FM radio and are you going to be running the stock HU?

Fm tuner isn't necessary. I run my phone and Spotify almost all the time.
Ways planning on keeping stock head. Not sure I need to drop ins. Could I run nice bat wings, amp those and then just power the rears with the head unit like they are now?

So, new head unit, amp, front speakers. Then run from head unit to amp, then amp to front speakers, then run from head unit to test speakers.
Note the question, which amp and which head unit? I really like the look of the aquatic head unit.

Hypothetically, if I were going to install a system in a 2010 Ultra limited. I'd go 4 speakers. Upper and lower fairing since you ride on the interstate 25 minutes a day. You need some sound in your face bro. But you can get by with two speakers if you have the right set up.

Alright, after going back and forth between Hogtunes, BikeTronics, and everything in between, I think I'm going to piece my system together.
This is what I'm thinking of doing:
Aquatic AV AQ-MP-5BT-H
RF PBR300X2
Infinity Kappa 62.11
Going to keep the rears stock (for now) and run them off the head unit
What I'd like to know, is there any additional stuff I need to buy to do the install? The head unit is easy, that comes with everything I need. But what about the amp, and the speakers? I'm currently buying everything off amazon. Also, should I get the 4 channel to be use at a later date if I need to?
Thouhts? Thanks!

I'm not familiar with the aquatic. What options does it have for outputs - the 300x2 prefers high level outputs.
If you decide to go 4 channel the pbr 300x4 is a poor choice, steer clear of it.
