Default '98 Road King Project Audio Suggestions???

I'm in the process of doing a complete overhaul on a '98 FLHR and want to add speaker lids and an amp to the Bad Dad stretched bags. My audio source will be an iPad/iPhone, and I'd like some means to control volume at the bars. With the rear lid speakers being my only sound source, I'm looking for substantial power & clarity. I know what I want in the end, but audio systems are not my strength. Suggestions welcome.

I guess any audio is better than none, but in my experience I don't hear my 6x9's at speed near as much as I hear my fairing speakers even though I have a much bigger amp powering the lids. It has everything to do with speaker positioning.

Gotta have some sound up front. My suggestion would be to look into the reckless fairings. They look good on the RK. If not. Your going to need a Biketronics 4180 amp and four Hat 6 x 9's from biketronics or the Hertz HCX690 speakers.
