Almost half of that. Now subtract the $561 that I paid for the headunit, but add the cost of either a flash or line converter from Biketronics.

i have HD's baller mack daddy sound system....and yes I too can hear it at highway speed....but is sounds like hammered **** and the question is, why would I want to listen to it at that volume?

i'd be happier with a quieter but cleaner sounding system

To the OP, DIY, you could probably spend about 1200 or so and end up with a way better sounding system, I paid about 2k to have a shop do a decent 4 speaker setup about 4 years ago
