Default Rokker AMP only upgrade?

So when I bought my 2018 street glide special I was told it had the speakers upgraded, no amp and it has the factory head unit. We'll after looking at multiple pics I found the speakers to be JMC Rokker 6.58 speakers with the tweeter in them.
Question is if I can just get the rokker amp or any amp to improve the sound with the current speakers or are these just a speaker only upgrade and I'd need a new system. Will adding an amp improve the sound/louder?

Adding an amp will make your system night and day.
Now the JM are not great and their amps are weak. If you are really wanting to get some sound out of your 2 speaker setup, I would suggest upgrading amp and speakers to better quality.

How about Cicada horns upfront with a Cicada 600dsp to tame them a bit.
They are known to play loud and you'll have the dsp for tuning.
