Default Help me build a "Amazon" system for my bike

I'm hoping all the audio guys here can help me out and keep me from buying stuff twice or being unhappy with the results. I have a 2016 sgs all stock as of now. I was given a $700 gift card for Amazon so I decided to try to put a nice 2 speaker system in. I wouldn't mind having the ability to add lids later so a 4 channel amp may be the ticket. I listen to mostly rock/ country and I'd like to keep as much fm as possible ( not a deal breaker). I'd appreciate some insight and knowledge. Thanks in advance

Here's a good place to start:

https://www.amazon.com/HERTZ-Hi-Ener.../dp/B003VCK7WK

Run these with the Cerwin Vega B54 also on Amazon for $196. Bridge the amp to these speakers and it will sound dam good for a two speaker system.

Don't forget to get the Biketronics bt355 line leveler

No adapters needed for those speakers to go into the Rushmore pods.

I have the Hertz 165's and think they are awesome but I have them powered by an Arc 600.4, 150 per channel 4 channel. If you are not bound to Amazon LL @ 77Customs can fix you up with a great price on a system.

Actually that's a pretty good set up from Amazon. There are several amazing 2 speaker set ups for your bike with a $700 budget. I based my recommendation off your $700 gift card from Amazon. There are a few sponsors here that could hook you up with $700 cash on hand. PM BadAzz Bikes, Biketronics or LL247. I'd go with the best deal for my money!

Had the same system in my Rushmore and it sounded good. As stated, don't forget the bt355 line leveler from Biketronics.

If you are only going to go through amazon what Gannicus recommended is a good system for the money. But if you are looking to get a good system outside of amazon. Either shoot me or LL247 a pm. Him or I can walk you through the best system for your dollar.

What would the $700 "best system for your dollar" be outside of Amazon?

The curiosity is killing us!!!
