Question Best Mid Range Hi-Fi 4 channel 2014 Set Up ?

So, what is the best 'Hi-Fi Bang For the Buck' 4 channel amp and speakers set up.....that is easy to install and run for a 2014 SG ??
Having spent $5000.00 upgrading my 2014 Street Glide with lower fairings and so on....I am now looking to sort out the Sound.
So at what price point do you get, half decent hi-Fi, acceptable, bass and treble responses and decent volume with little distortion ?
I appreciate that opinions will differ and of course the set up is only as good as the weakest component.....in this instance likely to be the speaker enclosures.....so do some setups compensate for this better than others ?
Hoping not to stir things up too much, just looking for ideas and views.

If you don't care about FM reception, the SS PN4.520D is a killer amp with plenty of power.

For the fairing, Biketronics 6.5" Titan II
For the rear pods, Kicker CS67

If FM reception is a concern, BT4180 amp and same speakers.

I will be wanting to do an upgrade to my 14. I will be replacing my fairing speakers and adding speakers to my lowers. None in the back at this time. If I do the BT4180 and 6.5 Titan II in the faring what can I put in the lowers? And will the radio need a flash?

If you're only going to do the fairing and fairing lower speakers, and both are 4 ohm, I would suggest the BT2180 and running them in parallel. That would be more than enough power. You wouldn't need to have all 4 channels unless you want to fade between the fairing and the lowers.

Can't help you with what to put in the lowers on a '14. Not even sure they make pods for them yet, unless you plan on putting the older style vented lowers on. Then I would go with the CVO lowers and another set of 6.5" Titan II's.
