What would the difference be from mmats over Harley stock speakers on a boom 6.5gts system. Would it be a noticeable improvement in sound quality and volume? Or does it need an amp to power it?

Just a speaker swap is not worth the time or the effort without an amp installed. I'm sure not the answer you want but, it is the only answer.

Why? Stock speakers are 2 ohm, the head unit is use to pushing a 2 ohm speaker at a measly 20 watts if your lucky. Most aftermarket speakers are 4 ohm (more resistance) , so now your head unit might be pushing 10 watts to an aftermarket speaker.
