This is what I am adding to my bike right now. Some as a result of members of this forum (thanks UN and GP), and the others a result of listening to other bikes. Im no fan of the Rockford amps because here in Atlanta, the heat seems to fry them in the Road Glide fairings (they probably do better in batwings). All told, I have spent about $650 on the stuff mentioned above. All total, I have about $1100 in stereo stuff, all running from the stock HK radio. Two amps, 10 speakers, and a whole lot of happiness is in my future!
You musta left something out........ I only count 6 speakers + the tweets.....Are you running 2 sets of the Polks too ????

***EDIT**
I see that you are ADDING these components to what you have .

Don't know that you're gonna be happy with 50 watts per channel!! Better slap another amp in there , unless you have one from previously, too !

What will your complete set-up be ??

Thanks for the feedback. I'm leaning towards option 2. I happen to be Rome right now and I stopped by the Roma dealer. When I was there, there were 3 guys doing a 1 month tour of Europe. One of the guys has the BT setup on his limited and it sounded great. He said he has no issues at anytime hearing the tunes, even with his FF helmet on.
