what's a good speaker and amp
I had OME speakers in and they sucked so I thought I'd upgrade to the boom speakers offered by HD well not much better. So I'm wondering what's a good speaker? I have a streetglide and tour pac with the speaker pods. Do I amp it then? I would like to stay with my head unit. I would like them to be nice and loud and needs some good bass. Thanks in advance

well you're really not going to get a whole lot of bass out of a 6.5" speaker. It will sounds tremendously better than what you have but not a ton of bass. If you want bass, you'll need to look into subwoofer options.
As for good amp and speakers, there are a ton out there and it really boils down to a couple of things; 1.) what your budget is and 2.) what you expect out of your system.

If you're not concerned with fading abilities (you'll need to bring the bike to dealer to activate fader on stock radio) then I would go with
My suggestion would be
front and rear
for radio
2 RCA "y" adapters
2 RCA short cables
10ga power wire (8ft)
Fuse Holder to install at battery location
Bag of polyfil from Walmart
There are varying speakers you can use, just depends on what you want to spend. Titan II, Hertz, Focal K2

Yes... you'll need adapter rings for the uppers
Just around the speakers
System ROCKS without breaking the bank.

I'd I don't have the fading done by the dealer its going to be the same in all the speakers then?

that's correct sir. If you do the fading flash by the dealer then we also need to wire the inputs on the amp differently so let us know what you decide to do prior to buying anything.

I just got off the phone with the dealership. They put the tour pack on and the speakers in for me. And they said that they were pretty sure they did the fading download. I will have to check when I get home for myself. He aslo said that I have to do a download for my amp??? I have never heard of this and I have put a few car systems in. Is the amp the you suggested small enough to fit inside the fairing? Sorry for all the questions
Do you have this systems? If you do, do you have any pictures of the speakers install and the amp?
