Default HD Speakers

Anyone know the ohms and watts of the HD High Performance speakers that come stock in 01-newer bikes. Im looking at getting better speakers for my 01 RG but dont want to go with an amp.

Get the J&M 7.25" speakers. They rock and fit right in where the stock speakers are. They are a huge improvement over stock and no amp is needed for great sound. There are other brands as well, but these have worked the best for me.

Do i need any other pieces to make those work? Im not a speaker guy but are the more ohms the better or the less the better? Does the bass crack? Right now i have my bass pretty much turned off because at highway speeds i sounds like crap. Any information would be great. oh and price?

Thanks Dr

Everything you need to mount these comes with the speakers. The bass does not crack. You will not need to leave your bass turned off after these are installed. I sent a PM with the price.
