yet another noob needing help
so with my tax return id really like to do some audio upgrades on my 15 streetglide special with 6.5 boom box. looking to spend $1000-1500. i was looking into sinister sounds kit they have for $1219 which has a moto 600.4 amp, but cant find out what speakers are included. i have heard mixed reviews. is there another way to go? all i want is upgraded fairing speakers with an amp. no plans for speaker lids or lowers. i want crisp clean sound at 70 on the hwy lol. what do i need start to finish? amp must mount in fairing. also plan to still use stock head unit. plug and play preferred. biketronics kit?

Your budget will get you a rock solid fairing setup for sure. The plug and play part does limit your choices. If you can follow some basic instructions and do away with the plug and play part things are wide open for ya. Either way someone will get you setup

I'm ok with out a plug and play system, but as long as someone gives me a little guidance I'll be fine...
so far I'm seeing that switching to the biketronics brackets and then using DD's AW 6.5 with the AT28 tweeters seems to be a good way to go.
What amp should I look at? Arc motor 600.4? I see guys talk about bridging... What's that mean? What will it gain for me?
I know I'll need a line leveler... Will I need 1 or 2?

You'll only need one LL. As far as amps go seeing you only need to run 2 speakers you can probably get away cheaper than the arc. Bridging an amp means your combining 2 channels to run double the power to a speaker. I'm sure a pro will chime in with a recommendation for ya. The aw's are a solid choice for sure

Guy local to me on this site has 2 JL amps for sale
Jx400/4d for $150. And a XD 200/2v2 for $225. Which one works for me?
also I there a mount bracket for these?
worth spending the extra for a mx500/4? suppose to be waterproof so no adjustments can be made which might not be a bad thing cuz I don't have a clue when it comes to that

Being waterproof, it's sealed. Can't make gain adjustments...or is that done in the head unit?

Always been a fan of the Hertz lineup. Been bullet proof for me with crisp clean sounds. They require some power though.
