Default 2012 Road Glide Custom - need advice

Hi! I have a 2012 FLTRX. I have already replaced the head unit with the Aquatic AV unit and the sound is improved but not great - still running OEM speakers with no amp.

I have been reading the forums and browsing the web but I can't quite make up my mind on what to buy yet as far as speakers and amp.

I am looking to get the best bang for my buck (no pun intended), I don't have a ton to spend.

I was looking at the Infinity Kappa 62.11I speakers ($105) and the Cerwin Vega b52 amp ($136) to push them.

Is this the best I can get in this price range? Would the RF PBR300X2 be a better amp? Are there some noticeably better speakers for $160 or less?

Thanks for the input!!

I think in that price range that's as good as it gets brother. Jump on it. The Cerwin amp is far better than the fosgate.

Would the options open up more if I stretched the budget to $400 for amp and speakers? Or would that take a bigger jump on the budget?

I agree with Haze. Jump in the CV amp and infinity Kappa's. The next leap from that point is gonna be $600-700 bucks. That will get you close to a 4 channel sound digital amp and a set of AD designs speakers. Excellent sound!!
