Upgrading a friends 2006 CVO E Glide

Looking for opinions and suggestions. Budget is around $1000. He wants to replace the fairing and TP speakers and add lower fairing speaker pods. Since this has the Boom audio amp I'm not sure how to integrate another amp. I though about recommending a Biketronics or Hawg Wired system and use his current amp to power the TP speakers.

I've not looked at a wiring diagram yet. He is kinda bummed about not being able to to run the 7" speakers in his fairing, lol!

Any ideas and suggestions are welcome. And a new bike is outta the question.

Question we always ask is how he feels about FM radio? If he wants to keep it, his options are limited. But with a grand to spend. Should not be a problem. He can get a very nice powerful amp that fits in the fairing to run all six speakers. The BOOM amp is basically useless. I have 3 or 4 of them on my shelf that nobody wants from other installs. Once guys hear how the music is supposed to sound on a bike they realize that Harley Davidson ripped everybody off with the BOOM system. Rip the dam thing out and start fresh is my recommendation.
