well, i did the install today and went for a little ride.
front and rear speaker install is easy. amp install a little bit of a pain in the a$$. not horrible, but lots of wire bundles and maneuvering in the fairing.
i have to take mine off again. little bit of a gap and 1 gauge light is now out.
in the garage and out of the garage at idle, this thing is loud and rocks. very noticeable over stock and over standard j&m 7 1/4"S without amp. (my previous set up)
zipping around town at low and medium speeds i had to keep the volume at 50% or less or it was too loud. this is with my gps recorder music. regular harley radio the sound still sux. i will try again tomorrow with the ipod hooked up and the satellite hooked up.
at 60-75 mph it is still loud and clear. surprisingly at 85-95 it still has some punch. it starts to lose some clarity, but still pretty good in my opinion.
i listened to some country and when there was lots of instruments it was not very clear at the higher speeds, but vocals were still very sharp.
overall i am happy with the set up. cost was about 700-750 ish. i don't remember exactly. i would do this again.
hope that helps anyone on the fence.

Glad to hear you enjoy the new system my findings are the same as sound at different speeds the system does sound a whole lot better with a I Pod hooked up . FYI there is another company making an interface for the I pod other then Harley and you save a good amount of money for the same setup.
