Default Need better speakers/ no amp

2015 Ultra Limited, want better speakers that work with the stock radio and no amp. Plug-n-play 6 1/2" 2-way speakers, 2 ohm, what brand and part number fills the bill?

Trust these guys and if not, go to the search window in the upper right corner, hit advanced search, changed the drop down box to Titles Only, type in anything that has to do with no amp, speakers only, speakers w/ no amp, or anything like that and read some of the others that have tried it and failed. The list is endless. Even if you use a 2 ohm speaker, you're still only dealing with very limited power to that speaker brother. I mean no disrespect and I hope this helps.

hate to say, but your radio is sending a crappy signal, get a biketronics line leveler, a pair of RCA splitters and a budget amp, then pick out some budget speakers that play well with the amp, and when i say budget speakers, the ones these guys have tried and recommend, will be loud and clear at hiway speed and you will be happy in the end
