Default Boom Audio Speakers and Zumo 665 ?

My Question Should be Pretty Simple but I am finding its not so simple so here goes
I would like to enjoy Music and a Gps on my 2009 XL1200 C, I am looking at the Boom audio amp and speaker kit but not a fan of using a magnet bag to hold a ipod or some kind of mp3 player on my tank. the other day i purchased a GPS for getting around a City I am doing work in (work out of town alot) and well now I dont want to travel without one. So with more reading I found Harleys Zuma 665 GPS and I seems to come with a mp3 player and Sat radio. So getting more to the point Can you Mount a Zuma Gps and Boom Audio speakers together Harleys Site give a unclear answer. This would be on Stock handlebars
Any thoughts Guys and Girls

That would be too many distractions while your riding. Get a Prius for you GPS and Tunes. Keep the bike w/o the added junk.

Your set up can be done. I have the ZUMO 665 (satilite radio & MP3) mounted on my ape hangers on my RK with the HD mount, wired through a 300 watt amp with speakers mounted at the base of the apes. very clean on none distracting.
How ever the reliability of the ZUMO can be called into question. Mine has failed and waiting for garmin support to fix.

+1 I wouldn't feel comfortable looking at a gps while riding haha especially in jersey ... Today alone I almost got taken out twice by no fault of my own, people don't believe in blinkers 1 or 2 looking before they change lanes !

Where did you put your 300 Watt amp?
Thanks
