2 speakers I'm assuming?

Infinity Kappa 62.11i

you'll either need the boom audio upgraded grills or you can mount the speaker inside the pod and stay with the stock grills.

these will also do a good job http://www.jmcorp.com/ProductDetail....CRK-6652TW-RXX ,,,, and then you can install any size amp you want to in the future for full rock-n-roll at highway speeds ,,,,,,

Default 2014 streetglide special speaker upgrade

I want to do the same but with an amp. I want to use a rockford amp. What does it mean to flash the system. Does the dealer have to do this or can it be done by me. Thanks

they're about the same truthfully. the biggest disadvantage to the polks is the crossover box you need to mount somewhere.

I personally prefer the Polks but with the issues they've had with the glue on the tweeter stalks coming apart, I don't recommend them anymore.

What about the JL C2-650x? They are 4ohm, does this cause problems with the stock head unit?

4 ohm speakers will work fine powered off the head unit but going into 4 ohms the speakers will receive roughly half the power they were receiving with 2 ohm speakers giving the impression of less sound and more distortion as you try to compensate and turn the radio up. If your going to change to those speakers I'd do an amp as well.
