Default audios system

Ok for all of you audio experts. I have a 2014 SGS and would like to know what is the best 6 speaker setup with $ not being an issue. Fairing, lowers and lids. Currently running J&M fairing and lid speakers with J&M 500 watt amp. Just not satisfied the sound especially for what I paid for it.

All opinions are welcomed

Amps all in the fairing or would you put a small amp in the bags?

Have you contacted and tried to work with JM? There was another member here who had a similar issue and he had to send his amp back to JM. Of course they charged the man to fix it. But it might be cheaper than replacing the whole system.

I thought that fella pulled his HU to send to them so that they could put their flash on it.
