Road Glide Audio System Recommendations?
OK...here's the dirty....2013 Road Glide Custom. Already installed new Jensen H1BT head unit. Looking for the following:
- amp
- Upper fairing speakers
- Lowers speak pod 6.5" speakers
Not looking for an audiophile system, just something that is an upgrade to what I have now .....max price for the amp and four speakers is $1K not including installation. Don't want to make any mods to the fairing....just something simple that will provide substantially better quality sound so I can hear it when riding. Most of my riding is on backroads and some highway, but I do take a few long trips each year maintaining high speed for hours at a time. I primarily listen to rock, some country, and every once in a while throw in some Beastie Boys...
Thanks in advance for the input....figured no where better to ask then where the experts are....
Thanks in advance for the feedback!

this is just a suggestion and there will be more, i'm sure.
amp RF TM400x4ad or Arc Moto600.4, both aren't cheap, but they sound good and will leave room for expansion if you choose.
MMats PA 601.4's Marine Treated for the lowers
ARC Moto602 V2 for the fairing, tried and true and set up for the motorcycles environment.(ihave not actually heard these!! i have some on the way for testing, but they have received very good reviews here on this forum. If you want something a little less pricey, the POLK mm652's ound ok and are marine rated also, these i have heard, but they werent loud enough for me, but quality an fit was good, the ugly *** grill wouldn't matter for a fairing install.
you may also need speaker ring adapter to fit the 6.5 speaker you choose.
dont make the mistake that I did buy being scared of the prices that you will see on some of this stuff, you get what you pay for. I've ried some budget amps and speakers and for ME, they just didn't cut it......measure 2x cut 1.
