Long story short. I totaled my RK and I'm looking to purchase a 2012 FLTRX in the next few days. I want to put in a new amp and speakers and keep the HU stock, for now. My budget is around $400. I'm planning to run speakers in the bags, but it's at a later date. What are speaker/amp set ups are people running? Thanks for your input!

Dave, do you care about FM reception?

FM reception is not huge for me. I would like to use my Ipod/iPhone for my music source. Thanks

If you don't care about FM reception and for future expansion I recommend the Soundstream PN4.520D

And for fairing speakers, the Biketronics 7.1" titan IIs

That will put you right at your budget

If I had a Fugly, and under your wants and needs, this is what I would do.

Put the 4.520 on one side of the fairing. Replace the stock speakers and do the tunnel mod, making sure they are all 2ohm to take full advantage of the amp.

Then, when lid speakers are added, I'd get a 2.350 and put it on the other side of the fairing.

But that's me.
