Best value for fairing speakers
Looking to upgrade my SGS fairing speakers. I hear Rockfords are one of the better. Do I really need an amp? What say you be the best value, not necessarily the cheapest. I don't mind spending money

I have been tempted to get louder quiter exhaust, but I love that I can hear it on interstate, and OL likes it too. I know it makes me a wuss. I got other bikes with louder exhaust.
I really like the stereo on this bike. Should have upgraded my 2007 years ago. But I get in stall pattern trying to figure what to buy.

Are you asking about speakers or exhaust? Hard to tell.
maybe post this in the audio section but you can’t go wrong with a set of mmats and stinger spx amp. Great products and budget friendly.

I'm not an audio expert but I do know enough to say that just replacing the speakers will give you what you are looking for ... Adding an amp will help

Tracy, there's untold amounts of knowledge in the Audio sub-forum and you'll get more insight over there. Very active sub-forum. You may even ask the mods to move this thread over there. https://www.hdforums.com/forum/audio-systems-153/
My experience, you will need an amp. I installed my new speakers before my amp and stereo arrived and it was crap. Speakers sounded better, but not louder. Once the amp was added WOW. My equipment is listed in my sig.
You will need to buy 2 ohm speakers (I believe your stereo and all stock stereos are set for 2 ohm speakers) if you only wish to upgrade speakers. However, I believe the stock stereo only outputs 25W RMS, so that sucks. It'll never sound like you want it to with that amount of power. Then you have the issue of stock EQ, etc.
