Default M5 audio kit

Came across this setup straight from manufacturer. HD14-STG2 Motorcycle Audio Kit (Gen-3) | Rockford Fosgate ®
Is it a newer version comparing to what a HD sells?

because I'm also interested in a Fosgate 'everything in one box' solution to amp my HDHU.14si.

I came across this comment on their M5 Audio Kits for H-D® | Product Launch YouTube, dunno if it helps

Wish I would of bought stock in RF.
I can't believe what they charge for less than mediocre setups. I just pulled one out of a bike, gross.

It is a hard choice between RF and J&M. RF has cool stickers!

Lol, and both RF and J&M sound the same when they hit the bottom of the trash can.

Just use the one's without locks. They are such a pain in the a** to take off, that any thief will just give up!

Yes the RF systems are an all in one box, plug and play type system, but as mentioned, they are overpriced, mediocre sounding, and lack the volume required to keep up above 75mph. For the same money or less, you can buy a way better system than RF.
