Changing out the head unit would be the best move.
It will give you better sound quality ,better control of the sound you are going for.
There is a complete install kit for 13 and down HDs that include handlebar interface mounts and splash shield for around $225 on a amazon right now.

Changing the head unit in your system will make a huge difference Softy! Many more options on an aftermarket HU. Nothing wrong with the Alpine. Having heard and set up all three. Personally I prefer the Sony and Kenwood units for sound. A lot of guys like the Alpine. Specifically with my set up's I couldn't get any good bass out of the Alpine and I like bass in my music. That said. The biggest improvement you can make in your set up is changing the PBR amp.
The PBR is Okay for what it is. But there are much better amps out there for our bikes. Take a look at the JL MHX280/4

If I decide to do a different head unit and or amp, is there anybody on here that can take a dumb person step by step through the installation process? I did the PBR amp and Infinity speakers my self, but there was a sticky on here just for that specific set up, right down to what color wires went where, I mean it was foolproof. If I tell you the components I end up with, is that possible again

Ok so I have been doing a lot of reading here, Do I have anything to build on with my PBR 300x2 amp, and my infinity Kappas? I was looking for suggestions for a different head unit to go along with what I have, but I hear the amp is a decent amp, then the next guy says to upgrade the amp and the head unit, then i read well there are better speaker choices in that same price range. I'm so confused I could just THROW-UP.

Lets try this again, If I were to go with the newest version of the Aquatic AV head unit and kept my PBR 300X2, is there a better way to go on speakers than my Kappa's? My Kappas don't have much for bass, some say that is the nature of them. any suggestions for speakers with better bass or will it matter if I keep the same amp with the new head unit. Sorry I keep asking ?s but really want a better system with out having to replace everything.
