Start arguing now....
Looking to upgrade the sound on my bike. 2020 SGS. Just ordered the Bad Dad 6x9 lids for the rear. Budget is open, I know I will spend at least 2-4k.
I almost pulled the trigger on the following:
Fairing - Diamond M075T Horns with Diamond MSPro65
Bag Lids - Diamond MP694 with Cerwin Vega P75T horns.
Amp - Sound Digital 800.4 EVOX
I liked the bright sound, but felt it could use a little more low end.
End of day, had a scheduled appointment to get it installed, arrived at time, waited 1.5 hours and shop never opened, so I left. Got a call about an hour later from owner of shop asking when I was coming by, then he got pissed at me when I told him I was having second thoughts about using him since he couldn't even respect my time and be there when he said he would.
Anyways, don't want subs in the bags, and pretty sure I want to also add a DSP.
What are your suggestions, opinions, etc..

There are many routes you could go it all depends on what you are looking for. First you need a real number that you are willing to spend because there is a huge difference between a 2k system vs a 4k system especially if you are doing the work yourself. How much room are willing to give up in your bags? How important is all weather riding? What kind of music do you predominately listen to? What kind of riding do you do? Just some things that you should think about before you drop few grand on a system.

My music is mainly rock, classic through modern.
My riding is 50/50 Street going to work and back and Rural routes around the SW. I try to stay off the superslabs as much as possible.
Not too concerned about weather. Pretty dry out here in the desert.
I am willing to spend up to $4k.

Easy route you could go that wont set you back a lot of money and sounds good would be to get a SD 1200.4 evox (2 ohm version) bridged and run a set of GZ coax yellow baskets in parallel off one of the bridged channels and run a pair of the Hertz SX 690's in parallel off of the other bridged channel. This setup has good midbass and volume. The speakers are weatherproof and the 6x9 are very light and take up minimal space inside the bags. There are several DSP's out there that will get the job done.

Imo you can have a killer simple 4 speaker setup for 2k.
I like the hertz neo 165
ground zero yellow coxial
diamond mp654 for fairings if coxial
Lids either 6x9 kit or 8 inch lid kit.. 6x9 db drive gz 7x10 or hertz sx690. 8s I have no clue I don't run them and Noone around here does either.
Those paired w a 1200x4 or 2 800x4 dsp wiring rca cables flash lid kit spacers etc will be around 2k and will be very hard to beat.
