Default Speaker upgrade suggestions

I have a 22 Ultra Limited with the stock radio and speakers. I think I may have one or more blown speakers. I could have them replaced under warranty (full warranty until Feb of 25), but stock replacements would likely just blow again. I don't really want to spend thousands on a whole new system. Is there a decent speaker I could get that would hold up better than the stockers and not break the bank?

Yes, here https://jmcorp.com/JMC-ROKKER-658-Fa...de_p_1405.html and here for the rear trunk pod position ,,, https://jmcorp.com/JMC-ROKKER-658-Re...de_p_1407.html ,,,,,,

AND the ROKKER speakers are strong enough to allow you to add a ROKKER amp at a later time ,,,,,

I had the same situation.

i used the Infinity Kappa 621x. Put them in front, and rear. 2 ohm, can easily handle the low power the bike is putting out. Up to 275 RMS, (4x75@ 2 ohm) so you can add a small amp later If you want. I got a deal on Amazon that was 4 for like $160.00.

If all you want to do is drop in for the original, I found this fits the bill. You need a 1/2 inch spacer for the rear.

Toypuller, those look great for the money. How have they held up to washing the bike or rain? They mention all kinds of abuse in the ad, but not water.

I also found these on Crutchfield. Kenwood Excelon XM65F 6-1/2" 2-way location-specific front speakers for select 2014-up Harley Davidson Touring Model motorcycles at Crutchfield

Anybody have any opinion on them?

These look pretty good too. Is there a local place near Denver where I could hear them?

Had them in my 22 for 2 years.

No issues so far, and I do ride in the rain.

Did you notice a marked improvement over the stock speakers? I don't need my radio to be heard from a mile away, but would like better quality sound. And were these plug and play?(aside from the spacer)

Yep, straight forward install, front and rear. I’d say a 25%-30% increase in volume, plus the volume can be pushed to max without distortion. Definitely better sound than the stock.

I may upgrade in the future, but just finished cams, and tune, LEDs, and exhaust. Not ready to go into the rabbit hole of sound systems right now. Maybe when winter hits.
