Default Audio help

I have a 2003 flhpi, no fairing, but have a 150w uniqcycle audio system. I am looking for a louder system, ears aren’t so good and have trouble hearing at freeway speeds, Bluetooth would be great or something I can just plug in a thumbdrive
thanks in advance

Where are your current speakers? Lower fairing? Bag lids? What is you budget? Where do you want to mount your amp? I am not the expert but these are questions that are going to need to be answered to get you the best advice possible.

Are you open to lower fairings or bag lids or are you just looking for replacements to the speakers on the handlebars?

not opposed to either, I did not think I could get lids for my flhpi since I have top ***** on bags , and not opposed to mounting 4 speakers instead of my 2

I'm going to bump this one because there is more usable info here that the second thread that you started. If you don't have a fairing and you cant use lids, then you are limited to adding lower fairings, speakers in your bags facing the rear wheel, adding a tour pack, or clamp on speakers on the handlebars and/or crash bars.

Do you want to keep the amp under the seat or are you open to loosing storage room in your saddlebags?

With a budget of $600 and your current requirements (as I know them) you will be limited to a more powerful version of what you have, with the clamp on speaker pods as far as I can tell.

From what I am finding on a quick interwebs search, this may just be the best you can do and that amp is probably going to have to go in one of your bags.

Let us know if you are open to using bag space or adding lowers/tour pack. Of course this would have to increase your budget.

Thanks, I just looked at the website and it might be just what I am looking for. I also checked out the steel horse in the meantime. The one you located looks right for me.

So I have looked at multiple reviews between the motorcycle tunes and steel horse handlebar setup. Each site says they are the best. I want to be able to play phone, iPod or usb drive. Any thoughts on which system is actually better.

I ride a 2003 FLHPI

thx again, the hdforums is the best
