Default opinions please on audio setup

Hi Group, riding a 2012 FLTRU currently have boom amp and speakers in the fairings and tour pack with the stock head unit, my audio guy has suggested going to the Aquatic 5UBT-H as a head unit with the rockford TM400x4AD as the amp and the Mille pro MPX 165.3 6.5 in the fairing and tourpack, no plans on adding speakers in the lowers, I want to be able to hear at highway speeds with solid base and be able to skip songs on the iphone 5 audio source using the hand controls. thoughts on this setup, suggestions on alternatives? I know there's always something else but I only want to do this once. budget is about 12-1500, thanks for the input

Good game plan , Alex will get you better amp. Solid bass isn't going to happen have realistic goals, decent midds, have set of used mpx165.3 would sell if that helps you.
