Default 2021 Road Glide Audio upgrade

I currently have 2 fairing mounting speakers that are stock from boom audio. I'd like to upgrade and add lid speakers and subwoofers as well. I know I need to add an amp and have the head unit flashed. I'm trying to stay away from RF since they are overpriced and don't sound that great. If money isn't an issue what recommendations would be given to go after. I'm not really looking for a budget build. I've been reading on euphoria as being great yet what build would be recommended? Thanks!

"Money isn;t an issue" is a very open ended statement. lol

FYI, if you want subs you will most likely need to ditch the stock bags for something beefier and sealed and ported. So keep that in mind.

I would contact aggressive audio on FB.

I would suggest finding a reputable shop and having them do it. If you want what you listed, you need someone who really knows what they are doing to get the most of it.
You will need reinforced and braced and sealed and ported bags, lithium battery, DSP, multiple amps and tuning.

If money wasn't an issue, I would do custom bags with 12" Kicker Solo's, GZ red basket coax in fairing and Euphoria EX69NCD in the lids with 3 amps and a DSP. Not a budget build

I didn't mention I will be doing my own build or attempt minus the flash.
2 GZCM 6.5N-PRO
2 Euphoria EX69NCD2 Kicker Solo-Baric L7S 12"
1 lithium batteryAny recommendations for amps and DSP? It would be nice to hide them in the fairing yet 3 amps would be a challenge.
