Rockford Fosgate offers a couple different AMPs that will fit in the fairing. ARC audio offers speaker adpters so you can install 6 1/2" speakers. Here is a photo of a recent system we installed in a Ultra Classic. 6 1/2 speakers in the fairing and fairing lower with 6x9's in the saddlebag lids.

If I was going to do a 2 speaker system, I would use a Rockford Fosgate PBR300x2, Arc Audio 6.5" speaker adaptors, and Polk MM651 speakers.

Probably not the "best", but that word is subjective. You can ask 10 different people, and each person will have a different answer to what the best is.

I just installed the best of the best on my standard. Rockford T3652-2 and their 2 chanell 2x300 amp. I went with a Kenwood deck controlled by hand controls, with Bluetooth so it will pick up Pandora without cords. $1200.00 installed

There is no "best" but a JL or Arc amp and focal 6.5"s would be a good place to start. Might want to look at dragonfly?
