Street glide stereo guidance needed
I have a 12 street glide that I'm replacing the head unit, fairing speakers, and adding a amp.
head unit is a alpine cde-hd149bt
amp is a arc audio xdi 600.4 ( future plans of bag lid speakers)
what would be the best speakers matched to these other components?
Which 6.5s for fairing?
Which6x9 for lids (eventually)?
is there a interface to keep the hand controls working?
do I need a amp rack? If so which one is best??
thanks!

I can't give you much good advice on a start to finish build but I am curious about your amp choice. What is the difference between the Arc Audio xdi 600.4 amp:
ARC AUDIO XDi 600.4
And the Arc Moto 600.4 unit:
MOTO 600.4
Is size and price the main difference? The Moto is definitely smaller. Since your bike is a 2012 model the length front to back may be something to look at carefully. Hopefully someone who has used that amp in a pre-Rushmore bike can give details on fitment.

I have heard that with the aftermarket head unit you gain some room under the hood of the pre-Rushmore bikes. I think some folks sort of angle large amps down to avoid hitting the fairing cap. I believe I have even seen amp trays that have that slope you can purchase.
Maybe SBates will chime in I believe he put a large footprint amp in his bike with one of those trays. I bet it will fit I just don't know the details.

You will need plenty of room for that supersized JL ����
