Default Blown Speaker

I have a 2012 Ultra Limited with the Boom Bagger system. Amp is under the tour pak. One of my rear speakers is blown. I'd like to upgrade the Boom speakers all the way around when I replace the head unit. Is there a speaker you guys would recommend to use with the Harley amp? Or should I replace the AMP. Head unit will be a JVC Marine unit if that matters. Would like to run 6.5 in the fairing. I guess my main concern is, I don't want to spend a ton of money to get something that isn't as good as what I have. This is my first bike with a radio so I really don't know how good or bad the stuff I have is.

Replace it all. You've got nowhere to go but up IMO.

Boss and Pyle are upgrades to what you have. If you can swing it, change it all.


BTW even though Boss and Pyle are better than the boom garbage, do not use them.

The Boom audio is definitely not worth keeping. Not sure what your budget is, but if you can swing some cash for a decent amp, and 4 coax speakers, you will be pleasantly surprised at how much better your audio experience will be.
With any luck you might be able to sell off your Boom amp and maybe your 1 good pair of boom speakers to help fund your upgrade.
