Default Softail Deluxe Speakers

I am currently looking to purchse and instahl speakers for Ipod on my Softail Deluxe. Had been told HD speakers don't have the greatest sound.
Anybody find the same or make recommendations.

I got a set of the Cycle Sounds 2.5" speakers with amp

http://www.cyclesounds.com/cruiser/h...versal-hd.html

They get the job done but can be hard to hear at highway speeds with loud pipes. If I had it to do over again, I would have saved the money towards a Hoppe or Dead Center Cycle fairing with the audio option.

One thing I did notice was once I moved the speakers from high up in the bars to lower and further behind the windshield, it did make a big difference to how they sound at speed.

Get a memphis shades bat wing and put the hogtunes msa1 kit on it and jam...I just did this and I don't care what others say it's loud enough to hear it at 80..
