hello everyone,

i am new to the forum and would like to try and start out with a easy question.

what will be required to install a aftermarket kenwood cd player??

i would like to also keep the factory handlebar controls in working function with the kenwood cd player..

i will also installing a Rockford Fosgate PBR300X4 amp &&Kuryakyn Kicker Tweeter Dash Pods && a set of Hertz MPX-165 6.5" front speakers

please keep in mind over the winter i will be adding 2 rear speakers in the saddle bag lids

 

There's some videos on YouTube that will walk you through the process.

Remember to run both Power and Ground to the battery from the amp.

Getting the radio mounting bolts out is a bit of a PITA, made much easier with a long arm hex with a ball end.

 

The Mille Pros didnt fit in my sreet glide.. didnt feel like cutting up the 6.5" adapters and making a spacer plate out of ABS plastic..My buddy owns a custom car/motorcycle stereo shop and the are a hertz/audison dealer. It takes a bit of work to get them to fit and they are a very power hungry speaker (always better to overpower a speaker than under power them, under powering causes excessive heat in the voicecoil). I went with the Audison Voce 6.5" speakers and they definitely slam i have 290W rms x 2 running to them and i wouldnt change a thing..just my 2 cents

 

Head over to the audio systems forum. TONS of really great info there and guys who install for a living. Great source of info for me when I upgraded my 11 SG

 

You already are on your way as far as components go.....just pick this up and you're done. Biketronics are expensive but a quality product and their customer service is second to no one. This kit gives you the faceplate, handlebar control adapter, radio mounts etc. This is all you need. BT1005x

 

this. just did mine over the winter. worked great and super easy to install.

 

I have this kit on mine (2 yrs now) and works perfect. I went Kenwood as well. Great Unit!

 

I had Biketronics on my 06 with a Sony head with CD and USB and it worked great.
