Default Audio noob

I have purchased a 2020 RGS and I'm wanting to do a audio upgrade. I was a 6 speaker kit with amp. I know absolutely nothing about audio stuff so I have no idea where to start. I'd like to be able to just buy a complete kit if possible. I want something better than the Harley boom but dont need top of the line. I've looked into the Rockford fosgate stage 3 but am not sure if its quality or not. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

What locations are you looking to do? Lowers, Lids, a tour pack?
Do you have any of those body parts already?

If you're cutting your lids, I went with the RF lid kit. Comes with a template to cut stock lids, mounting plates and 6x9 RF speakers. Around 500 bucks and the speakers sound decent. I replaced my speakers thought after a few weeks with the mmats 690cx's. Other 6x9 speakers may fit and some have even replaced them with 7x10's with some modifications of course to get them to fit.
