Ok, this is what I am currently thinking:
Saddlebag and Tourpak space is important to me. I take many trips and the GF has no concept of the meaning of "pack lightly"!!
Don't think I will ever want to sacrifice that space, so want to accomplish a good upgrade in sound with just upgrading the amp and fairing speakers.
I also want reliability. I bought the bike to ride it, so I will get caught in rain showers. Don't want to worry about damaging the speakers when I wash the bike, etc.
Ideally, I want a system where if I play the music loud, it can handle it. Don't want to invest a great deal of $'s and then cook the amp or blow the speakers. One that can be played fairly loud and still not distort.
So, I was originally leaning towards the following: My bike is 2019 Street Glide Special
1) Use the factory HU (pretty firm on this)
2) Focal Sport 4 channel
3) Hertz MLK 165.3
4) BT355 Line Leveler
5) BT Amp Mount
6) BT114 Speaker Brackets
7) Do I need speaker rings and/or Tweeter mounts?
8) Wiring kit?
Are the Hertz a good choice considering my criteria above? Or will I need to be careful with them when washing the bike or getting caught in rain shower? Better option?
Thanks in advance for any help/suggestions.

Haze, the 6hx150?
How would you compare them vs. the Hertz Mlk's?
Advantages/Disadvantages?
sounds like they may cost a little less.
comparative or better sound?
loudness?
ease of installation advantage between the two?
I will be listening to mainly Classic Rock, Hard Rock, and Metal.
Thanks all for the help/advice!
