The J&M kits come with all the wiring needed to complete installation.
It seems you're dead set on J&M which is fine if thats what you want. However my opinion has not changed regardless of what your spending. A 180watt amp at that price is ridiculous when you can get a 300 watt amp for half that (RF PBR 300x2). No matter how you try and justify it to yourself, your overpaying for sub par equipment.

No, i'm not dead set. Just wanted the easiest and most reliable way of going and bang for the buck. I'm waiting to see price point on the 7.1 BT to come out next week. I don't want to have to tear apart and replace if they burn up from water or elements with marine speakers and amp etc.. I checking with BT and hopefully they fall within my price range. Monty, always one I can count on to be a straight shooter
so thank you for the input.

Can always just add the internet plan and run it through your smartphone, that is if you have a smartphone a decent coverage where you usually ride. I do this as well as streaming pandora. I figured rather then paying for the xm module I'd just use those funds on the plan instead. Course I also don't flip channels constantly so it works for me.

Does anyone know if this system will work on the 2014 or will I have to piece one together?

IMO, the J&M 6.65" ROKKER XX speakers are the best choice for the fairing of your 2014 Harley, regardless of which amplifier you will run ,,,,, ((see http://www.jmcorp.com/SeeProducts.asp?PF=49 ,,,,,,

That's John Lazzeroni the owner of J&M corp and a HD Forums sponsor. While I'm not a J&M fan (speakers and amps, I do like their headsets) and I agree about the pricing and audio component quality vs others, I will tell you to watch the slinging of insults. An educated debate is fine. Flaming and name calling are not. Just a heads up because the mods will intervene if you continue.

It is his fault for not mentioning he is the owner and if he is then his comment is deceiving, either way those speaker prices on that site are out of this world expensive, I've even deleted the cookies from my computer so I don't go to that site ever again (in case I got drunk) and in the mood to buy things.

Ok installed magic box, 6.5 cycle sounds speakers and RF PBR 300x2 , went pretty smooth on 2014 Street Glide , sounds 100 time better than stock. Just need to figure out the gain and hertz thing , that new to me,,,(((Also what happens you when screw in new speakers to the pods and a couple of the threads are stripped out, the plastic came out with the screws,, Can you just make a new hole in the next mount hole ? Or
