Audio upgrade
So I’ve got a 2017 street glide special with all stock audio and a GT head unit. I’d like to upgrade to a sound stream reserve head unit, and I’m thinking about upgrading to 6.5 midrange speakers with horn tweeters. I’m open to adding 6x9’s in the lids, but would rather stay with one amp without a DSP. Thoughts on what would be the best solution? I don’t mind spending the money on a good setup. I listen to all kinds of music, from country to hip hop. I want clear audio at highway speeds with at least a little bump. I’m a rider, not a parking lot pimp, though I respect both. I just want to ride without worrying about getting caught in the weather and messing something up..

It depends on the amp you are going to use, what music you like. A solid performer setup that is budget minded is mmats pa601 cx speakers and a stinger spx 700x4 amp. That combo really does sound good at speed on a bike. I personally would not use any SD amps without running a dsp. The setups I have heard without one are overpowering with highs and you need a dsp to tame them.

Side note my buddy has the 4 speaker fairing and lids RF system and at 3/4 volume on my bike he can barley hear his sitting at a stop light. My set up was 500 cheaper than his.
