So I called Biketronics on Friday and told them that I just purchased a Sony radio, Titan 7.1's and the radio install kit from them and I wanted the BT454 / two channel amp now. So they cut the price and made it a package deal plus Military discount. So the amp will be installed this week. So now we will see the true meaning of HWY cranking.

Glad to hear it turned out so nice, I'm in the same boat as you were before the amp purchase. I need to wait a bit to get an amp. I'll be a bluetooth fool too in a few days. ;-)

The biggest hurdle I had was telling the wife about the amp purchase. But I will be damned if she wasn't standing there when I turned the HU on for the first time with the amp and she loved it.

I know exactly how you feel. My wife was with me when I opened the first box to arrive last night. It was the steering control kit and it let the cat out of the bag. I told her I was upgrading my stereo and speakers on the bike. The next thing she said after that was "do you have any extra money?". lol
