Without an amp you won't see much of an improvement. You'll need to match any new speaker with the head unit's impedance rating, either 2 or 4 ohm. Find out what that value is before you start looking for speakers.

Your best bang for the buck is going to be the Biketronics 7.1 speakers with the Cerwin Vega B2 amp.

If you call Bill at Biketronics and tell him you are a member of the forum he will give you the forum discount.

If you are going to add an amp it doesn't matter what your radio ohms are. If your going to use just the stock radio and new speakers, you'll need 2ohm speakers. IMO just adding new speakers will be a waste of time and money. Without an amp to push the new speakers, you will notice very little difference in what you had with stock speakers.

2010 Limited with some stuff!!

How big is your bank? Easier to make suggestions if we know how much you've got to spend.
