Default 2017 Road Glide Special Audio Upgrade

I am interested in upgrading my stock system on my new RG special. Looking at doing the fairing speakers, lowers, and possibly saddlebag speakers. I have a budget of 1500-2000 dollars. Looking to get the best possible sound and clarity for the price. Any of your guys expert opinions would be appreciated. Also, I am going to do the work myself so plug and play would really be nice as well for install. Thanks.

Thanks guys.

We're down in Miami my friend and have some pretty sweet builds. We have some vids of our installs on youtube under bagger audio lab. Bring your bike down on a Friday, spend the night on south beach and ride home Saturday with your new tunes. Shoot me a note here or at the email below.
