If you were planning on keeping your factory fairing speakers, I would not recommend adding lid speakers. You will be much better off replacing fairing speakers and adding amp. Most of your sound comes from fairing.

What's your budget?
What type of music do you listen to?
What music source do you use? You will lose most of FM reception with aftermarket amp, and FM sucks anyways
What are you looking to gain? Just something you can hear going down the highway? Want more than that, something that pounds going down the highway?
Are you going to do your own install?

Hell yeah it sucks, in my area anyway.
Budget is low because 1) I'm booked and 2) I don't need the whole neighborhood to know Im listening to music. I just need a little more juice/quality coming from the stock Boom Box (2022, if that matters).
$400
I'd like to do it myself if it's just plug/play. I can't do the whole flash stuff or EQ thing I read about ....
Thx man!

$400 is gonna be really tough for it to be worth it. Bump that up a couple hundred more.
