Default 2011 FLHX Audio

Hello all. New to the forum and new to riding a bike. Just bought a 2011 FLHX. Bike is equipped with 2 - 6x9's in each hard saddle bag, 2 - 6.5" in fairing and some small speakers in top of fairing. Looks like the system was put together by cycle sounds since that is what is on the tethers to the saddle bags. System doesn't deliver the sound that I am looking for and I am considering a complete makeover of the audio system. Looking for suggestions. If you were building from scratch with this speaker setup, what would you do? Not on a limited budget.

It would help to know the exact components that make up your system. That way we could tell if it's just an amp change that's needed or something more.

Going to get into it today to get all the information. Only things I know so far are the small fairing speakers are Focal brand, not sure what model. The 6x9's are AD Designs 2000 series CX 692. I will get 6.5's and amp info today.
