Nope. We can just run speaker wire at 1/10th the cost.

You will need the Biketronics BT355s for ur specific sled. That allows u to plug into your sled and not cut a single OEM wire. The rest is basic audio wiring with a couple quick disconnects at the bags.

If you want fade control "front to back" you will have to have the radio flashed and get two BT line leveler'. If it's not important to you then you will get a RCA Y cable that turns one output into two. Order the BT LL with front speaker connections.

If you aren't going to use the fade control and only one BT LL then you don't really need a radio flash because you won't be using the rear speaker outputs of the radio.

The only thing you wont have is fade control. Don't throw good money away for not so good setup. As far as speakers go, the same principle applies. If you have polks mm series speakers then you are good to go, if they are the db speakers then not so good.

Reference the Gypsye post. You would be better off selling the Rockford amps and go to a 4 channel amp.
