Default 2016 roadking audio recommendations and advice.

i recently picked up a 2016 roadking. I don't want a fairing, plan to get the speaker pod lowers, and eventually speaker lids. I'm looking for recommendations for amps. I know I need Bluetooth cause my music is on my phone. I want it for while riding, not parking lot sound. Does anyone have experience with the Pyle or boss amps? Also I'd like to hide it all as much as possible! Even the controller if possible. Any suggestions on that would be helpful too.

I can recommend Road King audio, but not with all of your requirements.

You don't want a Pyle or a Boss amp bro! How many speakers do you want to run and how much do you want to spend?

I'll be running 2 6.5 speakers in the lower fairings to start. But am keeping the idea of 6x9s in the saddle bag lids open for down the line. Trying to keep it around $300
