These guys will blow you away with their knowledge if you give them some details. Such as total number of speakers you want (fairing, tour pak, lowers, lid?), budget range, parking lot show off sound or 70 mph tunes quality, etc.

Good info to get things tolling.
I may take u a bit over the budget number but I started with a budget my first bite at the apple and was not happy and ended up wasting some hard earned cash so take ur time and bypass Starbucks for a few weeks and use the one and done strategy.
You will need:
Biketronics BT355 Line Levelers w break out harness. (Good sale this week so pull the trigger on that regardless)
A good 4 channel class d amp pushing 150X4, possibly a really good 2 channel amp w good output. Not necessarily expensive but good sound quality and watts.
DD AW6.5 Fairing Speakers
Polk MM651 TP Pod speakers.
And a few other install accessories associated with the install.
The amp will be the Lynch pin as u can find a good amp in the $150 range or the $550 range.

If your on a budget look at the Cerwin Vega B54 amp. It has the same specs as the diamond, same company.

If you go Polks. Make sure you get the right ones.
Polk MM6501 Components up front in the fairing.
Polk MM651 in the rear pods.
The Diamond or Cerwin Vega B54 will push those just fine. As InthewindMN stated. The Cerwin is cheaper.
