Default What speakers to get??

I hope I'm posting this in the correct spot. I've been looking to picking up a set of speakers of my Rocker C. I like the look of the Kuryakyns. I think there called the sound of chrome. Part #KY-852. Looking to be around $360. Any one have them or heard them on the road?
Theres alot of similars on ebay. whats the best?

+1 on the J&M. I have heard nothing that comes close. Even at 90 MPH I can ride next to my buddy and listen to his just fine.

This past weekend I upgraded my 2011 Ultra Classic Limited with the New front Rokker speakers also the matching rear ones and the 250 watt amp . Sounds awesome the instructions could be a little better for sure but if you take your time and read them over a few times the system goes together fault free .

Nice setup Doc. Makes me think for a few seconds about putting bags on my standard to run 4 speakers, and picking up that dash I saw that has the built in ipod touch/ iphone dock. To bad the ipod classic wouldn't fit (I think).

Without a windshield at highway speeds, you are likely to be disappointed in any speaker system. The laws of physics will prevail.....

J&M 2008 are the way to go. At 70mph I can still hear them with no problem.
