Hi Dan, there is so much info in the audio section to keep you busy reading for quite some time.
Good luck in what you decide.

I am using Infinity Kappa 62.11i in my RG. They are a popular choice and around $100pr. There are several other choices too depending on your budget. As stated above, the Audio section has alot if info.

KSGLIDEGUY since I have you here. Wanted to ask you if you are using an amp with those speakers? If so, which one and where did you mount it? If not, did they make a decent difference over stock.
OK, now back to the audio section ha-ha.

I'm using the JBL GTO638 6.5-Inch 3-Way Speakers currently in the fairing. Plan to upgrade with lower fairing speakers and amp soon.

Just did a basic upgrade to Hogtunes speakers, it's all I needed. I also upgraded my winshield to a Windvest which helped as well. YMMV

I went with the J&M 500 watt amp and speakers. Plug and Play on a 2016 RGU. Love them. Expensive but they give a good discount to forum readers. But like others have said Lots opinions on here. Mine is just Mine

Have fun

I am running the Rockford Fosgate PBR300x2 amp also along with a Biketronics line leveler. This amp is a popular upgrade due to its small size and small price. There is a space under the radio that the amp fits easily in. My complete system upgrade including amp, speakers, amp wiring kit, and line leveler came to about $360. I never listened to my bike with just the speaker upgrade but I would expect that it would make a noticeable improvement.
