Head Unit Change?
Been reading this forum for 2 days and cant find much about head units. Just installed a SoundStream 4.520 and Titan II speakers in the fairing. Would changing my stock head unit to something like a Sony be worth it or should I be looking at something else?

Worth it , as in what ?? What kind of bike are you upgrading ?? You bought a 4 channel amp,......do you have rear speakers, and did you replace them ??
Lot of blanks need filled in here !!

depends on what specifically you're looking for. As GP pointed out above, there are blanks that need to be filled in for a proper response from us.
Also keep in mind that going with an aftermarket head unit requires the use of a handlebar control module. The 2 popular ones being Hawg-Wired and Biketronics and both are $200+

Baggin, Adding a headunit would be the next logical upgrade, it would make a significant improvement in sound quality. Then add Titan II's to some lowers or saddle bag lids, then you be kick'n azzz, after all its only $$$! lol

Another option I was thinking about was bridging the Titans I have.

Ya got that right!
The SS amp and 4 Polks up front sound awesome with the stock HK!
So good that...
Wondering how much better with two more speakers in the saddlebag lids... for that "fill" sound, ya know?!
THEN...
All that would probably sound better with an aftermarket headunit.
Yea... I'd say it's addicting!
