Super happy setup!
Just wanted to give my $0.02 and what's worked for me, hopefully it will help some of you out there that are on the fence about upgrading.
I started with a completely stock 2007 Electra glide and added a stock tour pack with no speaker pods along with aftermarket lower fairings. Rode it like this for a couple thousand miles and really enjoyed it and also having the music but couldn't really hear a lot of tunes over 75 mph.
I picked up a pair of rear speaker pods with Arc XDi 502 5.25" speakers and aftermarket 6.5" lower speaker pods for the lower fairings. I also went with 4 6.5" Infinity Kappa 62.11i speakers and adapters for the upper and lower fairings to go along with a Hogtunes tweeter pod. I chose a Hogtunes NCA 450-AA amp to power the 4 front 6.5 speakers and tweeter pod. Powered the rear speakers with the radio through a non-Ultra overlay harness with quick disconnects under the seat for removing the tour pack.
I realize I could have gone with a less expensive amp, but the plug and play wire harness fit like a glove and they included a couple extra wiring harnesses to make everything super simple and easy. The system now is 10X better than the stock one and I can hear the music crystal clear even with my full face helmet on at 80+ on the freeway.
I spent a little more than I wanted to in the end but the end product was well worth it. HTH

At 50watts per channel you haven't even come close to the potential of your setup. There are several amps at half the price or less that would've required very little work and produced far greater results.
As long as you're happy with it that's really all that matters.

You done pretty good first time out. If I had to give you a grade . It would be a C minus. The Hog Tune amp killed it. lol!! Just wish you would have came here first. We would have all advised a better bang for the buck set up. As SB said. As long as you are happy with it. That's all that matters. Enjoy Bro!
