Default Little help on upgrading

I have a 2011 street glide and I'm looking into getting a amp and two 6.5 inch speakers. Ive been reading and reading till my brain hurts lol.

My question is what is an actual good setup? Don' want to spend a hole bunch thinking around 300 for amp and speaker. As of now I'm thinking the kappas 65.11 with a
Cerwin-Vega B52 Stealth Bomber Class D Amp.

. Is this a good setup? or would there be something better in this price range. Willing to spend a little more if needbe.

sorry if this has been asked alot before. And thanks for any help you can give.

B52 is highly recommended, for a little extra money the db drive WDX6MOTO are supposed to be awesome speakers.
