Default Audio system for my 2012 road glide fltrx

I have a 2012 road glide and right now it has the factory Harley radio with 7.25 rokker front speakers and that’s it. I have a boom audio two amp I got from a friend off of his 2015 street glide. I am looking for the best bang for my buck for an audio upgrade with a four (or 6) speaker setup that would included the front fairing, saddle bag and possibles the leg vents. I have a starting point but don’t know the capability. Also don’t want to spend more than another $5-800 to complete the system. I would like to go single din with touch screen for the radio, but can’t seem to find one that is all weather ready being that I occasionally get caught in rain on long rides.

Look at the aquatics radio. Forget about the bag lids. You might be able to swing speakers in the fairing lowers if you have them. That's the best setup anyway, 2 up front and 2 down low upfront as well.

I suggest you post this in the audio forum, lots of knowledge over there.

The only posts I see that go unanswered in the audio forum are one that have little to do or nothing to do with audio. If the regulars there don't have an answer to a particular question, they don't baffle em with bs.

The audio section is full of guys that are very knowledgeable and helpful with everyone needing assistance with their Audio System.
Just explain exactly what bike you have and what your are looking to do and they will be very helpful.
Mike.
