2017 sgs install help
Coming from the land of Dyna's to Baggers...
This is my list of items to buy (planning on replacing fairing speakers, installing amp, and adding speakers to my lowers), and any help you guys can give would be great:
Two sets of these speakers: This amp: Install Kit: Biketronics Line Leveler: http://www.biketronics.com/bt355-hd-...r-2014-and-up/
RCA M/M plugs:
One question I have is should I run my lowers parallel(??) with the fairing speaker, or run the off the rear of the amp. If I run them off of the rear, do I need another bt355 and a flash??Any and all help is appreciated.

You might rethink the amp strategy. A bit light on watts for 4 Speaks at 4 ohm.
Regarding the flash - fade question, it's up to you. If u want the ability to fade or valence the sound out on the fly then u will need another BT355 and a HD Flash for 4 Speaks.
If not, you can just set the amp gains to provide for such balance but ur gonna have to pop the hood a few times to get it all dialed in after some rides.

Do you have any suggestions on a different amp, or do you think I should rethink the speakers? I know it's ultimately up to me, but this is foreign territory for me.
I really don't mind reassessing a few times after rides. Thank you for that advice.

That amp wont be enough to run 4 speakers as it is 80w x4. A pn4.1000d will do those justice. This will do it.
Im not sure of those rca cables either. These are what I use as do others.

If you get a good 4 channel amp, you can run it straight and not have to bridge it or run parallel on the speakers.

I know it's cheaper on the other site, but I just like to order it all from the same place if possible. Makes tracking it all easier. And thanks for the amp advice. I'll most likely go with that Soundstream.

Using the PN4 1000D on the stock amp tray in the Rushmore batwing is a bit on the challenging side but it will fit with some patience and some fanasing.
If you dont want the headaches of getting the amp to fit on the stock amp tray you can get an aftermarket tray from JM Corp. For around $160. The part number for the tray is JABK-HBW14

Guess I'd like to keep it under $300 for the amp. As I said...I'm open to all suggestions. TIA
