I did the engine guard thing..

7 inch headlight buckets $36
6.5 inch kappas on sale for $66 and sound great
Soundstream pn 2-350D for $92

Reasonable price and sounds great at any speed.

Got this idea from scootlover I believe his nick was.

I have removable hard bags. Also plan on doing an FXRT fairing and lowers... So, two to four speakers. I just don't know what type of power I could push without killing something.

your stock 35a system has a max rms output of 315 watts ac with 12.8vdc input source

stock 35a dc is 448 watts dc the 50a dc is 640 watts dc

roughly ac is 3/4 of dc watts.
is what it is, no way to boost it.

So, buster, if I planned out a system to run at, say, 250 RMS, would that leave plenty of headroom for the rest of the bike, and be reliable? Seems like I could get some pretty decent sound with that, either out of two nicely built 6.5's
