Default Tri Glide system?

Ok guys. I have a 12 Tri Glide and want better sound. Just looked at post from rat racer on his thanksgiving day install. So should I just go with 2 speakers and amp in fairing? Or should I stick to 4 speakers? I don't want to put 6.5 in tour pack pods. Just don't like the look. So I would stick to 5.25!
He has a list of parts he purchased from Amazon that looks good, and seems to be a good price. If I just use fairing speakers should I just disconnect 2 rear?
Thanks.

rattracer's set up is perfect for what you are looking for. He purchased the PBR300X2 with the infinity speakers. Nice set up in the fairing of your trike. You can run the 5.25 rear speakers off the HU. The X2 would only power the infinity's up front. Not necessary to disconnect the rear speakers.

Thank you sir. That's exactly what I will do. I always like to follow someone who has already made an upgrade, as it saves me money and time, so I can spend more time and money later😊
Now just gotta look up and order parts from Amazon, and ebay.
