Default speaker suggestions

I have 2011 Ultra and would like to replace the stock speakers. I don't want to spend a lot of money, just want a quality replacement speaker to enhance the sound. Don't really want to add a amp either. Thanks

I have a 09 roadglide which i swapped out the stock speakers with a pair of $180 hawgwired speakers. Im not very impressed by them. They arent amplified in any way but one of them recently starting cutting out. I had the fairing off a few weeks ago to check for any bad connections but none were found. Im considering a pair of hogtunes or going to a local marina to find out what quality marine speakers they recommend.

I love my J&M Rokkers...
It is hard to find both quality and low price in the same place...
Make sure what ever speaker you get are 100% water proof or 1 day you will regret the great deal you got....

I put a set of Hog Tunes speakers in my classic and am very happy with both the volume and the quality of the sound, both better than stock. I think I paid $109 for the pair.

Hogtunes...best $100 upgrade I spent on bike. Make sure you get them fm HT directly...otherwise warranty is n/a. There were a ton of vendors re-selling Hogtunes sets on eBay which weren't original (refurb) so there were lots of issues getting bad ones fixed.

I bought my J+M speakers(5.25") on Ebay, probably refurb. I got lucky, I guess. I'm really happy with them. I can hear just fine at any speed.
