Ok, going to dip my toes in the water... spent too much money this summer, BUT, went on some great trips like Rolling Thunder, Tail of Dragon and Sturgis...Plus going to the Michigan U.P. in 2 weeks... so, been busy and the past 10k miles have shown me that anything his better than my limping stock system

Considering the Cerwin Vega B-52 ,,,2 channel amp and the Hertz HCX 165.3.... just to get the junked out stock stuff off the bike.

I'll probably still get a DSP since I'll use it in the future, on a budget until I study more and spring for a complete system.....

Questions, what else do I need, obviously 12v Wiring kit, do I need 5-1/4 to 6-1/2 spacer rings?

If you're going with a dsp , check the for sale section, Babyboy has a DD dsi- 2 for a great price.

OK, so the Amp mount plate, is it really just a flate plate of thin aluminum?

I wouldn't worry about an amp tray as most amps will fit directly or your stock amp tray.

Also if your bike is a 2015 I don't think you will need adapter rings, your speakers should already be 6 1/2" diameter. Someone chime in if I am wrong.

No sir no adaptors needed. There will be some modifications needed to the pods for aftermarket speakers to fit. The mods depend on what speakers are being used.
