I have Mmats in the bags and like them but if I was doing it today the GZ's would be my choice. The 800.4 might be a little light.

I have this exact setup in a 2020 CVO Road Glide. 6.5" Yellows in the fairing, 6x9" Yellows in the lids, and an SD 800.4 EVOPS. It was installed back in June of this year and I've put about 30,000 miles on the system already. That includes plenty of hard rain. The system sounds fantastic and is holding up to the elements just fine. For what it's worth, I did have the installer put hydrophobic speaker cloth on the back side of all speaker grills. Very cheap insurance and it doesn't affect sound quality at all. $16 bucks from Amazon and one package was enough for all grills.

No DSP, but my EQ was flashed to a flatter setting, and he did comprehensively tune it. The most I ever need to turn it up is with 5-6 hashmarks showing and that's if we're on the interstate doing 85+. I would even consider this a somewhat budget friendly system. You've got most of the components already, I think the GZ 6x9's would round out your system just fine. I think the 6x9 sound better than the 6.5".
