There are many trusted guys here, but I'd start with one LL and 2 simple Y adapter's assuming you can fit all that in the Road Glide nose. That's what I did and it's working great for me (Fairing though). I have a JL 280/4 and a Cerwin B52 on one LL in the fairing. You can always add another LL if you really need to later.
It's all about personal preference. It will certainly work with one LL but u once u set it that's what ur stuck with for parked or back roads or 80mph or a mix of both so make ur initial tune according to ur riding style.

Sorry brother, I gave u bad info as I thought u were on a batwing.

I think what u select will be based on what will fit ur ride. I don't do amps in bags or pack thus I huge factor in my product selections is size for under the hood install.

What amps will fit in my fairing ? i have it apart now and there is not much room at all. I would love to have 1 4ch that fits in the fairing and provides significant power to 4 speakers. I could sell the DD amp and would be working with like a $400 budget or so

I went with 1 focal sport, it just Barely fit, but I got in in right on top,of the headlight, for anything to fit behind it, it will need to be a square amp, I know that’s out of your budget, but it flat rocks! And no need for 2 amps, there was one in the classified for 600 I think. Good Luck!

If you remove the Head unit there is a nice spot under there that will hold an amp.
I cannot remember the dimensions of the area or what amps will fit or you can mount one on the headlight like Mike300 did.. Maybe someone with a Rushmore shark nose can chime

Dragonfly cycle concepts sells a mount that they swear will mount the Focal Sport under the radio on a RG. I have the mount and amp but bike still at the dealer so can't speak to it first hand yet. The biketronics amps easily fit under the radio with their mount. Their 4 channel amps are 5x7.

Did you have to do any mods or did it fit right in , also how are you securing it ?

Thanks

Check the long thread on the Focal amp, he has a pic. He had to trim the headlight tabs off.
