Audio questions!

Just recently got my self a 2012 Street Glide. I am in love! The previous owner did the rear bag lids w/speakers! Going in to winter I'm thinking about doing a little audio update on her.. So my question. Can I just simply buy speakers designed for a car and install? Or do I need a marine style for the water proofing.. Anyone have anything they would like to show off and recommend? Anyone using an amp? If love to pick your brains if possible.. I don't need something to shake a neighborhood or anything I just wanna be able to hear it with my full face on and riding at 70-80!

Thanks in advance guys!

Norm

I'm sure this has all been asked a million times so please don't tear me apart for asking!

I can hear my music at 80 with a full face.. Just want a bit more volume. I am probably going biketronics.. May go Memphis since a bigger buddy is Now a distributor for them and uses them on his bike.. I just wanted to get a pathway paved as to where I should look. Budget isnt a huge deal it'll be a winter project I'll buy as needed but I think I know as to what I'm doing and what direction I'll head! Thanks for all the help guys!
