Sony MEX-M70BT
BT 1005X - 1998-2013 Multi-Brand Radio Install Kit
BT7P1 Speaker Upgrade
great setup but... LOL

to get the most out of those speakers (they like power), you're going to need an amp like the PBR300x2.

LOL, I hope you guys didn't have to fork over 10G's like I did last year for my daughers wedding! Killer!! I have a brand new power acoustik 4 channel amp sitting on my shelf still in the box if you are interested. I think I paid 110.00 for it. I'll let it go for an even hundred if you pay shipping. It should push your biketronics stuff just fine. . . I think the PBR X2 is up to about 160.00 bucks right now. . Which is amazing to me considering I bought 4 of those 2 years ago for about 110.00 bucks. Anyway I got it if you are interested.

So the wife and daughter designed the wedding and once it was all said an done it was roughly 10K. So stupid me, I broke it down by the hour (never do this); $2,500 an hour for the wedding. It was on a Sunday. I will think about the amp after install. Thanks much

yeah that'll put things into perspective for you real quick-like. Been there, done that to the tune of about the same..

When my daughter started last June planning her wedding for this past January, of course I get the phone call and the hand reaching through the phone into my wallet...

so I gave her the choice. I'll pay for a wedding (which I understand from a young lady's point of view is a necessity but for a guy, let's get this crap over with and drink some beer!) or save all that money, have a small wedding and put all of that $ it into a house for them. She chose the wedding.. Well here we are 6 months after the wedding and I get the phone call last week for me to help them get into a house. My response was, "well how'd you like that wedding"? lol
