Gurus - please build my system
Ok, so I've been reading this forum for weeks and I am now at the point where I can't determine exactly how to proceed.
Current:
2018 Street Glide with 6.5 Boom system
Budget:
$1,000 to $1,250
Desired:
Fairing 2 speaker system
Want to sound good riding up to 70mph+
No cutting of stock wiring - Plug and Play
Need to know everything I need as I've not installed bike audio before
I keep thinking all of this adds up to "call Biketronics", but I wanted to be sure I get your expert advice first.
Thank you for any assistance!!

You will need a BT355 line leveler, and I would recommend Biketronics speaker brackets. Both from Biketronics. You will need power and ground 8 gauge wire with 50 amp fuse, 16 gauge speaker wire and Stinger RCA cable.
I would go with DD AW 6.6 speakers for the fairing with DD AT28 tweeters and Hogtunes grills. As far as an amp to power the speakers I went with JL Audio 400/4 bridged. For a 2 speaker system it rocks for sure.
I am sure others
Will chime in with other suggestions but this one is rock solid.

Where would I go about getting these DD speakers? The other things I see plenty online ordering, but not exactly sure about the DD stuff.

Check out the Euphoria Tweets. The tweet that comes with the EPC 6 component set is solid for cheap. Also the ES9-T1 is solid as well and have very respectable RMS ratings.
Between the amp and tweet ur saving big bucks and getting damn good results.

Guy local to me on this site has 2 JL amps for sale?
Jx400/4d for $150. And a XD 200/2v2 for $225. Which one works bet with the DD AW 6.5 and either tweets setup?
or still worth the extra for the mx 500/4? being waterproof, im guessing you cant make adjustments which might not be a bad thing seeings I wont have a clue what im doing.
is there a mount for these to put above the headunit?

Can't go wrong with system. If I want to save a few bucks I would ditch the DD AT28 tweets as I think they are overpriced. Save more bucks with the JL MX500/4 amp that is designed for sleds, ATVs, etc....

So ok ... let's say based on everything so far I'm looking at:
DD AW6.5
DD BT30
Hogtunes Grills
Biketronics speaker bracket
BT355 line leveler
JL Audio MX 500/4
Amp power/ground kit with fused power
RCA cables
Is there someone that basically puts all or most of this into a package? Should I be e-mailing BaggerAudioLabs for instance? Or, is it absolutely impossible to buy DD stuff remote?

My question to the gurus is; OP wanted plug and play is what you are recommending all plug and play, other than having to hook up power and ground for amp? Also with component speakers where do you put the tweeters on a Rushmore type bike and doesn't that entail adding wiring? Trying to find out answers to questions thought but maybe not asked. Thanks for any response.
