you need to provide us more information than that...
are you going to put an amp in or use stock?

there is a sticky note in the audio section regarding 2014 (Rushmore) audio upgrades with a lot of good information. It is recommended to read up on that one.

+1 Totally agree. You could go with $700.00 focal speakers and not notice much of a difference without an amp. Amp is a must have for an upgrade on a motorcycle.

if you're looking to only upgrade the speakers with no amp, then I would suggest sticking with a 2 ohm speaker, and specifically my recommendation would be the Infinity Kapp 62.11i. Once you get your pods out, take them apart and mount the speakers on the inside. If you don't want to take the pods apart, then most any aftermarket speaker is going to require the replacement of the stock grills with the upgraded boom audio grills. Geez I hate using the word upgrade in the same sentence with boom audio!

Pay attention to the guys who gave you the first 3 replies.

They know their **** when it comes to HD audio.
