Default Help upgrading audio

just got my first HD tourer an Electra

came worh a kemwood radio radio and Rockford speakers that were blown.

I replaced speakers with new Rockford 6.5 larger speakers, but am disappointed, the sound is low and distorted, seems like the radio low power can't handle the new bigger speakers...

I am thinking an amp is needed to get this new speakers going...

what are the recommendation for an affordable amp that could fit inside the fairing ?

We're gonna need the year of your sled as well as which Kenwood HU and exactly which Rockford speakers your running at the moment.

At 45RMS those speakers aren't going to handle very much power at all. I would consider upgrading the speakers and adding an amp. If that's something you'd like to do give us a budget.
