Default 2013 Ultra Limited

Guys,
I bought my father a BT4180 amp for his 2013 Ultra Limited, I would like some help on recommendations of fronts and rears to pair with this amp. Trying to keep its budget build for him, I have the same amp and will be running Focals.
He has talked about the BT Titan 6.5's but still doing the research. He has already said that the stock system is not that bad and he can hear it fine, I don't think he knows the difference a good system will make. We will want to make sure it is "bullet proof" so this reason I'm thinking the Biketronics may be the best bet. What do you guys think? Titans for the rears and 7.1 for the front? pro's??

Thanks
Pete

Cool. I did the same thing for my father last year. I went with the BT4180 amp. The regular 7.1's in the fairing. The Titan II in the lowers and the kickers is the rear pods. He told me the same thing your father did. Ahh he says. "I can hear my stock system just fine" When I installed the BT system in there he went ape ****!! He's 81 years old with a 09 CVO.... Lol!!

I don't doubt that one bit, just want to get the best idea of what will be best with it on a pseudo budget.

Thanks
Pete

Is there a reason you went with the Kickers in the rear pods over the BT's? He does not have lowers so it will only be fairing and rear pods.

Thanks

You can definitely go with the Titan II's in the rear pods but you will need a spacer. The speaker magnet is too big to fit in the pods so they will need to be elevated about a half inch to fit. They sound awesome back there. I assumed you were looking for a drop in speaker with out modifications is why I suggested the Kickers. But yeah the Titans would be the ticket!!

prevore I got 6'5 Titan II in my pods, sound great! I have Focals in fairing and 3 sets of BT Hats in pods, lowers and lids (6x9's). Your Dads system with 4180, and 7.1's and 6.5's in the pods will blow his hair back.LOL
