Default 2012 Street glide audio upgrade

I have a 2012 street glide with no upgrades to the audio system... and it sucks... I want something that’s going to be loud... I’ve been doing some research and I see that RF and Kicker make plug and play kits that come with speakers, amp and wiring but I’m not sure if I can get the same results at a lower price point by purchasing my own amp and speakers ( I also don’t know if anyone who has the so I can physically go somewhere to hear these set ups before I go buy one)... I’m also not sure of what will fit in the bike without heavily modifying anything... I’m not against changing the head unit as well, I’d actually like something with Bluetooth for my phone so I don’t need the six cable... any guidance here will be awesome, I’m capable of the install I just mainly need pointers on what I actually need to purchase and wire sizes...

What type of budget are you working with? Any plan to ever add more speakers than just the fairing?

I was thinking I should go with a 4 channel amp, in case I’d ever add more speakers... and as far as budget the RF kit I guess you’d call it is in the $800 range... I wouldn’t mind being around there if it’s gonna be a better system... but for now just an amp, two speakers, and possibly a head unit
