Default need advice

what's going on guys need some advice I got a 2019 roadglide and I found a brand new pyle marine 400 watt amp still in box after I moved and I want to use that on the bike but I'm looking for advice on what speakers to pair with it I think for now I'm going to go with just a 2 speaker setup and maybe down the road mess with bags (lower fairings are out for me)

my other question is what is needed to run it off the stock radio I don't want to mess with that yet either obviously I know the power ground where do you tie in the remote and how do you connect to the factory radio for the audio

Thanks in advance and if any one is getting rid of some gear PM me and maybe ill go that route instead

Most of the Pyle amp offerings are class AB which is not good in sled audio. Can't say for sure without model number though.

Class D is a switching amp and they dont require as much power as other amps. The charging systems on our bikes is weak compared to a car.

Here are the standard questions. Do you intend to run more than to speakers in the future? Do you care about FM? What is your budget?

Well you will need 1 BT355 $90.00
I run the following
Mmats 601.cx $190.00 a pair
Stinger spx700x4 $175.00
Install kit $40.00
This will be loud and clear at 80+
I think you will need to cut small holes in your speaker pods inside your fairing. No big deal and easy to do.
