hey guys.. newbie but not a complete moron here...

I swapped my stock speakers for 120$ hogtunes last year, I was told it would have better sound.. not reall in my opinion...

I want some sound volume and I don't want to place speakers in the bags...

what are my options? what Equipment should I use...

Can I mount 6.5' in my batwing without cutting anything? they are 4'' right now...

could I just plug in an amp and get better volume?

what kind of plug and play amp should I get?

I don't want to turn the bike upside down either.. just plug in an amp and keeping the speakers if I can... otherwise get new speaker at most...

am I dreaming here? or is there something to satisfy me out there?

thanks !!!!

I'm unaware of a quality plug and play amp. At the very least, you will need to run a fused power lead all the way to the battery, and while you're at it run a ground wire too. #10 gauge or bigger. 6.5's will fit using an adapter like this: http://www.ebay.com/itm/SPEAKER-ADAP...8ad518&vxp=mtr

As John said most of the stuff that is advertised as "Plug and Play" is low quality stuff. Get the adapter rings John suggested and a set of Infinity 62.11i speakers with a Cerwin Vega B2 amp. $300 bucks should cover it. Night and day difference in sound.

No Sir! The hog tune speakers won't get it done. Go with the infinity 62.11i's. If you need any help on the install hit up any of the usual suspects that are here everyday. One of us will get figured out. . .lol
