You really didn't do much better with that setup.

Why do you say that? The loudness is probably triple HogTunes, the sound quality is WAY better than HogTunes and I played the hell out of them for 25,000 Miles and 3 years without one hiccup.

Ok I'll go along with Hawg Wired being better than Hog Tunes but that's akin to jumping outta the frying pan and into the fire. The budget systems that are recommended here are 1/2 the price you paid for HW's top of the line system and will outplay it any day of the week. It's just as simple as that. Not hatin on you at all, if you like what you have then that's all that matters. There's just no bang for your buck at that price point.

I’m actually looking to put together a system for my 2016 Streetglide with speakers in the fairing and lowers. I would be incredibly grateful for some recommendations or suggestions. It came with the Boom Amp upgrades system already installed and it SUCKS compared to my other bike with the HawgWired system.

A common budget-minded suggestion is for Cerwin-Vega amp and Kappa speakers. You can certainly go up from there!
