Looking for some sound advice. Hate, hate, hate my radio now!!! Looking to spend $500 or less. Radio reception and keeping handlebar controls is important. Don't need knock your socks off but still want to counter the Fullsac pipe mod. Been trolling and advice is all over the place with the exception of NOT to but the Aquatics, which I was close to purchasing before the trolling began.

I am DIY and have plenty experience wrenching, but not so much with electronics selections. Anxious to get some feedback.

Head unit, front and rear speakers, handlebar controls. Amplifier without crushing my budget?

Thanks.

 

I would save up some more, and bump your budget a bit. For only $500 you could probably pull off some Mmats 601CX in the fairing, with a budget amp. For a few dollars more, you can add rears too.

Hale just replied from a similar build with Mmats and a Stinger and he was pretty pleased. https://www.hdforums.com/forum/audio...nd-review.html

I'd suggest waiting until the rust belt goes to sleep for the winter and you might find the supply chain catching up and a few deals come trickling back. Or, keep an eye on the For Sale section here.
