Default Audio Upgrade suggestions
Currently have 13 electra glide classic with Aquatics MP5+ receiver with the RF 6.5" fairing and RF 6x9 lid kits installed. Thinking i want it louder than what this can go. Not sure on if i just need a good amp to power the current speakers or if I should be looking at whole new speaker and amp set up or even if i should be adding pods to my lowers,

A good amp will be night and day as far as volume. Always other things to change. But honestly start with a good amp.

Sell the RF amps and speakers and replace with a pair of mmats 601cx or GZ spx up front and mmats 690cx in the lids with an SD 1200 evox amp.

Currently do not have an amp installed. Shop that installed didn't think I would need one since head unit had "decent" power.
