Default Adding advanblack lowes and speaker lids...

Looking for some speakers and an amp to beef up my sound. Rear speakers are 5x7 and the lowers which I believe are 6". Im not trying to break the bank or win any competitions here so I'm guessing I need 4 speakers and an amp that can support 6.

Default Budget?

How much re you willing to spend? Your looking for 2 6 1/2” and two 5x7” speakers and amp or amps to power it right? I would guess something you can hear loud and clear at cruising speeds.

I hear my stock speakers (Rgs) ok at cruising speeds. Given that I just dropped 900 on the setup I'd like to keep the sound to less than 500 if possible. I can upgrade later if needed. Just want a decent placeholder to be up and running quickly.

So you spent $900 on a fairing set up??
If so what components do you have now?
Knowing what you have will help make suggestions for the next step you are wanting to take.

Sorry for the confusion...$900 on the lids and lowers. Everything on my current system is bone stock road glide special (2017). I hear the music fine at cruising speeds, but since I'm adding the lowers, I figured I'd beef the sound a bit.
