<p>I always think its better to spend the money on your speakers .Then spend the rest on a amp. You can get a good amp for cheep. Just my thoughts but that makes sense to me . BT speakers are one of the best that's all I run in my bike. I have a BT amp but they would sound just as good with a cheaper amp running them.</p>

I'm running BT speakers with an SS 4.1000. Ultimately, I couldn't afford the 4180. No complaints with this set up at all.

I was leaning towards the hog tunes also. 15 RG. I'm just looking to do a speaker swap and add an amp. The package deal HT had I'd for two speakers, 2 channel amp, all necessary wires, and the amp mount, with no need to get dealer to remap the infotainment unit.

I know there are cheaper and better options for amps and speakers. But as a whole all in one package that is dummy proof to install, seems like a no brainer for me.

Hog tunes for me was on my 2009 ultra was a bad experience, customer service was a joke , had them install at my hd dealer at great expense, after several call to them me and my dealer , on back channel low out put and no real change in sound , hog tune tech said my stock ultra was the problem RITE!!! Service manager told me the would never install hog tunes in any bike .

To give you an idea. The 2015 HT kit comes with a 2 channel amp and according their specs it pushes 100w per channel at 2ohm. The Cerwin Vega B2, which produces excellent sound and cost $115.00 pumps out 250w per channel at 2ohm.

Pair that amp up, with a set of BT's and you're ahead in cost and significantly ahead in sound. HT gets you with the "plug and play" pitch.

If there was a setup that install this easy, with no splicing dicing wires and not messing with dealer remapping.... I'd be in on it.

I think your gonna be sorely disappointed just because your being lazy and letting the allure of plug n play decide your setup. Lots better choices and not much more effort required to install.

2010 Limited with some stuff

I agree with my friends Bates and Haze. Then only hog tunes stuff you want on your Harley is the Hog tunes lids. No such thing as plug and play. All amps need power and ground.

I laugh every time I see someone run wires under the dash panel....

Do it the right way, pull the tank and put the wires in the wire tray, where they belong!
