Default Stereo upgrade

Hi all looking for some advice. Looking to add an amp and upgrade my speakers. 2013 road glide custom.I have replaced stock HU with an Av HU. Looking to replace fairing speakers and add speakers to my vented lowers. I also have a tour pak with pods and speakers, but not to concerned about those at this point as it is only on the bike about 25% of the time. Leaning towards Biktronics package with 4180, hertz in the fairing and titans in the lowers. Budget is $1000-$1500. I will do install myself. Goal is to increase volume and sound quality. One reason I'm looking at the package is, I don't have enough experience with audio to comfortably put a system together in pieces that will perform well together. Thanks for any input.

With the experts here, you can install anything. They can guide you thru all aspects of the install. As far as the biketronics system goes, there is no adjustments on the amp and I am not a big fan of that setup as it sound tinny to my old ears. Depending on what hertz speakers you go in the fairing you should have all the high end you need from those and in the lowers a good midrange like the hertz sv 165 will compliment the fairing quit well. A couple of good SQ amps include the sd 800-4 evo or a stinger spx 700-4 and will provide that setup with good SQ, have the volume you need at speed and both have adjustable gains. I would start with the front first, get it sounding good and address the pods at a later date.

Hope this helps.

Thanks for your thoughts. I have tinny sound now looking for a fuller sound quality.
