I am looking to upgrade my stock 09 streetglide stereo I would like to stay under $1000 I love volume but fidelity is more important to me.I am thinking adding an amp maybe 75-100 wpc rms I don't care about peak power ratings.Should you stay with specialized bike audio or will any brand do the job?Is changing the head unit worthwhile?Any suggestions and or recomendations.

 

For $1000 you can get a killer system from J&M.

500w amp and 7.25" rokkers for the dash. If you buy from Drew @DrVTwin, you'll probably have enough to get lower speakers also

 

Replacing the stock head unit is a matter of personal preference. If its working fine, I would stay with it and upgrade that later on.

 

Dump the stock radio. You can get $400 for it on ebay and add that to your budget. I say get a new head unit with the kit either from hawg wired or biktronics so you can use the hand controls. Then you can go like above with the J&M or even piece a system together yourself. For less than $400 you can get a rockford amp and a good set of Focal 6.5 speakers in the faring. Of course there are a lot of different options out there for $1k.
