Default roadglide speakers

I have an 02 roadglide that the speakers are junk. What size does the glide take? Do I have to stick with a factory replacement? I would like to put in aftermarket( Blaupunk or Rockford fosgate). I have read the post about Hogtunes ect. ect. but I think I could get better sound from a high end speaker. TIA

Here ya go: http://www.hawg-wired.com/

I've got one of their 2 channel amps (in fairing) and a pair of their speakers that go with them. My RG ROCKs like a pimpmobile!

Send a PM to Shooter64 (Bart) here on the forum for pricing that is better than listed on the manufacturer website.

you can use a good set of car speakers---less $$$ better sound. I have MbQuart in the fairing not cheap but they are the best speakers made.

They are less expensive than the others for the 5 1/4 size. You can find them and others on eBay.
