Default 2017 Ultra Classic upgrade advice

Hello,

I'm looking to upgrade my 2017 Ultra Classic's audio. Last year I had a 2017 Road Glide and went with a JL MX280/4 and Arc Moto 602V2 speakers along with a BT 343 line leveler. Since the Ultra gets a lot less wind noise I don't think I need that much. Also, I may or may not upgrade the rear since I ride with the tour pak off 95% of the time. By the way, it has a 6.5 HU.

Looking forward to your recommendations. Thank you!

Lol. . . .I didn't want to buy em. My thoughts were you could use those same components in your new bike.

Sorry, That would have been the easy answer, right? I think the sound on the stock Ultra is pretty good, just would like a touch more volume and clarity.

I see for Street Glides some folks are saying a Cerwin Vega B52 and Infinity Kappa 62.11i's.... Maybe this is something to try. I'm just a little unsure about leaving the rears out of the equation? Again, the tour pak is only on 5% of the time and the sound I get from the front should be enough (I think). Not planning on any competitions, just a little more volume and clarity.

The 2017 Road glide I had, didn't seem to matter with the JL MX280/4 and Arc Moto 602V2's, that bike had so much wind noise, it was difficult to get decent sound at 70 to 80 MPH. The system was loud as hell when parked!
