Default Audio confusion!!

I just picked up a 2014 limited and want to upgrade the speakers. I have a J&M 250 watt amp and speakers that took off of the old bike. My ? Is do I upgrade to the new Rokker speakers or 7.1 or RF 6.5. Do I need to get the 500 or 600 watt amp or just run 2 250 watt amps. If I get the 500 watt amp, am I pushing 125 watts to each speaker.

I want to be able to hear @ 80mph clear, concise and sing along if needed.

Thoughts?

And yes I have read every audio thread I can find.

FWIW I would call Biketronics and talk to them about their components and set ups. I've had virtually every audio set up possible from home made to out of the box from some of the Forum sponsors.

I now have a full Biketronics setup in the fairing and lowers, along with their amp. This is the cleanest, loudest, setup I've ever had - with the most amount of mids/bass.

biketronics is a good company and they build a quality product, but I have put the J&M ROKKER XTP amp and speakers for the 2014-2015 Harleys side-by-side with the B/T stuff, and the J&M ROKKER system is stronger, louder and cleaner thru out the frequency ranges, and is easily heard as fast as the bike is able to travel on the highway ,,,,,,

I've got biketronics 6.5"and I love it. They're very popular on this forum with pretty much no negative reviews. My system sounds great even at 90mph.
