Default Alternative speaker grills?

Is there a nicer replacement to the Street Glide cloth looking speaker grills?

I have the Boom speaker kit for the lower fairing and those metal grills are much nicer looking.

Are there any options?

Thanks

The 6.5 Boom! fairing speakers come with the upgraded grills.

Plug and play, sound better, and nicer grills?

You think it's worth the coin?

Yes (but a pain in the a$$ to remove the boxes), yes, and yes. Here is the link.

You mean the white box enclosures?

Pain like it takes time or pain like stuff breaks while you're doing it?

Yes, the white box enclosures. There is one bolt on each box that is a royal pain to get a ratchet into. No worries about anything breaking though.

Another question.....if I'm in there would you recommend the amp too?

Is it an easy plug and play? If it was literally an unplug and plug job I'd probably do it all.

The amp would be a big improvement. Had one on my '12 Limited. It isn't plug an play though. You have to remove the tank to run the power cables to the battery.

From what I've seen if you have 2 people you can lift the tank and the other 2 hands can route the wires under. Possible?

Absolutely. The only reason I haven't added the amp is funding. I have an upgrade list prioritized.
