Default Bluetooth with no head unit?

Is it possible for me to Bluetooth my iPhone to the receiver, then go through the amp to the speakers? With no head unit? It's for my flhtp. I don't really need or want a head unit, just the ability to play via Bluetooth.

i use that fusion one on my side by side and it works good right off the amp. If i remember right just plug the rca into the amp and the 12v power wire run it to the remote on spot on the amp and then ground the ground coming from the BT module.

You should reevaluate your amp and speaker selection.

My brother had a Kenwood amp that had bluetooth and a handlebar controller for volume and song selection. There are lots out there that bluetooth direct to the source.

Staying with only 2 speakers or is there a possibility of adding lower fairing or bag lid speakers later?
