Not sure if I can help. However Ive done a few. You can put 6 1/2's in the front, 6" in the bag, next to 8" in the bag, or dual 8" in the bag. The marine Fosgate T400x4 waterproof amp is 100 per channel to 4 separate speakers. if you use fosgate 6 1/2's T165s in the front they can handle 150 watts average per channel but 100 watts is plenty. Truthfully the gain will be nearly off on the amp for these. If you use hertz hsk 165xl's 6 1/2's in the front they can handle 300 watts each and the gain wont be 1/2 way up.

My current set up is Hertz HSK's in 6 1/2's in the front. Hertz hsk's in the trunk stock location. Hertz hsk's 6" in the bags, next to currently 8" JL's mid base 2 way speakers in the bag. A fosgate non marine T400x2 on the fronts. A fosgate non marine T400x4 for the trunk and the 2 in the bag, and a fosgate T400x2 for the two 8" in the bag. 2 tweaters in the front, 2 in the trunk, 2 in the bag facing forward. 1200 watts total. no capacitors, no rattles, extremely clean, all ran on the stock radio, a spare flush mounted phone in the "V" air cover location, and xm radio. Blue control on the handlebars. All being powered by an EarthX modified 36D digital battery that has over 36ah of juice and 600 cold cranking amps. Being bass isn't heard to much on the open road and Im a rider's rider. I went with a mid base speaker to hear the depth, no rattles and not lost in wind during the ride.

I have a lot of info I always share. The speakers by the way are all behind stock fairings so they don't have the BULGE OUT EYES look on the dash.

I have a victory cc 8 ball.

I installed a blue tooth adapter as well that allows me to still use my bike controls and my iPhone is mounted on handlebars with a ram mount.
I listen to my iTunes riding playlist, Pandora, XM app, as well as use the phone for my gps which lowers the music and tells me when to turn.

I installed the Rockford 4 channel amp from witch doctors and installed the 5 1/2 Polk audio speakers from them as well.
I also bought some dynamat cheap on Amazon and covered the extra holes inside the speaker fairing areas when I was done.

It is beyond loud.

Be advised if you install the amp you need to run the power directly to the battery and install a remote wire to one of the open accessory ports, it's super easy to install if u use the witch doctors wiring amp kit but it will cost you $$.

Later when I do my bag speakers I will have the 4 channel amp ready to go.

Hope this helps.
I can you link the bluetooth adapter that still allows you to use motorcycle controls? I still have yet to find one with my iphone setup.

yes I use an MPOW. google bluetooth mpow. it plugs into my saddle bag plug in, and then I mount myphone to my bars and run pandora via bluetooth to my speakers. works slick and is inexpensive, but I want a better stereo.
 
I use a Satechi BT Button Series. It's seen as a bluetooth keyboard. So your bluetooth earpiece still works, you can control your phone etc and the radio volume controls interactive with it.
Thanks. This is a Godsend. This will work great compared to trying to fiddle with my phone.

I used the MPOW as well but I still had trouble skipping to next/previous track. My MPOW will now be used for my non bluetooth car.

My solution will be to plug in my spare phone into aux cable in saddle bag and bluetooth the Satechi button to the spare phone - mounted to handle bars.
