Thanks for the input. Seems not alot of folks around here use BT stuff, so I'm not sure where they stack up against the Arc?  Over on HDF, seems everyone loves BT, so it's hard to make heads or tails.

How do you like the amp? What speakers are you running? Did you go right from stock, or did you upgrade? Sounds like you don't have the bike any longer. What did you do with the new bike or what are you plans?

I'd love to hear a Arc 125.4 set up with 4 of the KRC165 upper and lower vs a BT4180 with 4 of their 7.1, side by side. The BT stuff can be had around 1/2 the price of the ARC/Focal, and from what I understand, the BT7P1 are made by HAT, so they are supposed to be pretty decent.

Also, has anyone heard of wrapping the fairing speakers? Those guys talk about polyfill wrapping the fairing speakers and it making a big improvement?
Thanks!

No, I don't have the bike anymore.  I traded it this year on a 14 CVO Limited.  I don't plan on doing any audio modifications to the current bike.  I actually like how it sounds.  To answer your questions, I had all BT speakers.  I had the 7.1s in the fairing, the 6.5s in the lowers and the 6x9s in the bag lids.  I ran them all off of the 4180.  Sounded pretty good.

I know this is an old thread, but how did your Biketronics setup compare to your 2014 CVO?  Was it heads and tails better?

The BT was definitely better, but it's hard to quantify the difference.  On a scale of 1 to 10 and if BT is a 10, the stock system on my 14 CVO limited is about a 6 to 7.
