Default Speaker upgrade questions

2009 Ultra with stock audio system. I am looking to upgrade my speakers and add an amp. Any suggestions out there that won't break the bank? Are Hogtunes products any good? Found a complete plug and play kit for about the same as two sets of speakers and an amp from Crutchfield. Thing is I'm concerned with quality. Obviously a bike specific kit would be easier to install but I'm more concerned with sound quality and longevity over ease of installation.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Hogtunes sucks, and a bike specific kit may be a tad easier since its mostly plug and play. There are a ton of threads on this on the first page. check them out

Plug and play is a gimmick, you still have to remove tank and run power and ground, Pkease dont use hogtunes and upgrade in the same sentence. The best budget system and sounds very good is 4 Mmats PA601.4cx a Stinger SPX700x4 and you will need the Vtwin speaker adapters for the tour pak.

I've had this speaker and amp setup for about three years now and am very pleased with it.

Yes it would, the price difference from the SPX350x2 and the 700x4 is very little.,
