Boom Audio stereo head unit
Well those regulars here that have read some threads about installing external speakers on a bike may have read how I'm not a big fan of them and prefer bluethooth helmet speakers.
My Wife asked recently what I would like for Christmas and my response was unadulterated sex and anything Harley.
Well the unadulterated sex part is yet to be known, but I just found out that for Christmas I getting a Boom Audio system.
First off my Wife always has a had a hard time deciding what to get me so I'm certainly not going to tell her to take it back so I guess I'm now going to have external speakers.
My question is for those who have such a system; I really don't want to have to plug in my iPhone everytime I ride so is there a small head unit out there that can be installed with little intrusion?
Thanks,

However I'm certainly not going to add another $270 to an already overpriced $400 Boom Audio system.
I'm looking for something around $50 or less that's just a head unit that the Boom Audio can plug into.

If I had bought a system the Rock Box probably is what I would have gone with.

I've always used my iPhone to my bluetooth helmet speakers and it sounds great.
I'm just thinking that perhaps there's a small head unit or even a bluetooth receiver that I can connect to the Boom Audio that will prevent me from having to connect a wire every time I get on the bike.
I think what I'll look for is something similar to what's shown in the link below.
I just have to get a 12vdc input device.

I got my Boom Audio installed today.
I'm not sure why some have stated it takes 5 hours to install.
I got mine installed in a 3.5 hour time frame and I was watching football at the same time.
I guess if you pull the tank it would take significant more time, but I was able to unbolt it and fish the cables through.
I think without other interferences a 2 hour install is a no brainer.
Anyway, I guess the sound is OK for a $250 system. (the unit is new that my Wife bought off craigslist).
I guess volume is more important than clarity and this unit is loud.
One last cast out to anyone who has suggestions on either a small head unit or a bluetooth receiver that I could add so I don't have to hook up my iPhone everytime I want to listen to music.
