Default Saddlebag setup help needed

I have a 19 Road King. Currently running polk mm652 (in gutted headlights) with a small nvx amp and using a simple Bluetooth receiver/controller.
I'd like to put some 6x9 in the bags and 6.5s in the front.
Ive heard some diamond audio setups and think they sound good in the parking lots.
Can anyone point me in the right direction for the best quality sound and volume under 1500.00.
Im guessing that if im putting the amp in the saddlebag instead of trying to fit it in a fairing, it'll open more options.
There is a ton of advice in the pages ive read in this foum, but man does it get overwhelming. Is there i huge difference in the soumd of 2 vs 4ohm? Would it be negated or amplified because I'm using BT? If I go 4ohm, I'm assuming I'd need double the amp wattage.

Do you already have 6x9 lids or will you need those added as well for the $1500 budget?
