budget stereo for my glide conversion?
looking for some pointers, maybe some links if you all feel like it.
so how am i hooking up a stereo on a road glide conversion, where i didnt add the main harness.
run, power and remote under the tank to the headunit and get an amp for the speakers? do i even need an amp if the headunit is already powered?
what amp, what head unit and what speakers.... budget oriented. never installed a stereo and really dont know what i need

Having never owned a Glide I'm not sure what kind of room there is, but you can expect to pay around $150 for this radio
. That's a pretty common combo that rocks. Add a pair of speaker ring adapters and a wiring kit and you're good to go, except for the hand controls.

You honestly can't get a better, inexpensive system than what JPJ sent you links for.
The amp will need its own power direct from the battery. Just run a fused 10ga lead up under the tank. Run a second one for a ground to the battery (Fosgate recommends grounding to the battery). For a two speaker system it will rock.
If you run into trouble head over to the audio forum.

Not entirely true, a head unit makes a world of difference, however the amp can be ran off the stock one. That particular unit mentioned has bluetooth which is a very handy feature enabling you to stream music or directions from your phone.

sweet. thanks for the links. i really appreciate it. this combo looks great. is there a preferred speaker ring out there or are of the enlarged speaker rings the same? also do i need to get a headunit mounting kit and harness/ wires. is there a pre made kit for the wiring i can buy, or is that a piece together type of thing?
