Default Road King audio advice

Hello everyone. New here and to owning a Harley. On a tight budget and never could afford one. With last years income tax refund as a down payment and my car being paid off now, I was able to get a 2010 FLHR. Still got 3 more years of payments and said I wouldn't start modifying 'till it was paid for, but I need some music. On my last Vulcan, I had 4 x marine speakers bolted to the windshield and a 600 watt car amp in the saddle bag for a great sound at 80 mph with straight pipes. Had an ipod plugged into the amp as a source. I would like the same sound quality on the Harley, without the redneck install I did What do y'all recommend that will not be very distorted when up loud enough to hear on the highway? I live on the highway and drive 80mph back and forth to work every day.

J&M handlebar mounted self powered speakers. Do a search. Dr. V-Twin (Drew) has a video or two or three up here with his to give you an idea of the sound. I suggest they are the best option for a non fairing ride.
