Default Recommendation for Biketronic installation

Yesterday in preparation to upgrade my OEM audio system I purchased the following from Biketronics:
BT2180 - 2 channel amplifier kit
BT477 Lower Kit - 6.5" Titan II Speakers with Harness
BT7P1EG Kit - 7.1" Titan II speaker kit - EG fairing
discount - $150 off for kit
10% Discount President's Day
10% HD Forum
Total=$647.87

From Board Tracker HD
2 HD speaker boxes for lower fairing
2 HD CVO grill covers

Does anyone have any suggestions for additional items I might need or suggestions for the install. I'm going to replace my two fairing speakers and add speakers to my lower vented fairings and add the BT amp. Any thoughts would be appreciated.

That's a nice setup a very good price.

Having the kits from BT you will get just about everything you need.
You might want to pick up some 16g speaker wire for the lower speaker install along with some heat shrink. Do you plan on running the lower wiring inside the crash bar or use wire ties? I wouldn’t hurt to have extra wire ties and some ½” split loom tubing to neaten the wiring up when done. I like to use shrink over each pair of speaker wires before tying them up as shown in the pic below.

Hey Bert, can you chime in on the Hogtune lowers thread.

Bert, thanks for the suggestions. The wiring harness is included with the lower fairing speakers and I'm hoping to route the wire through the crash bar. Loom, wire ties and heat shrink will be part of the install. Please don't hesitate to make more recommendations should you have further ideas.
