There are two that are sponsors of the forum. Most guys use them and seem to happy with either. Do a search and check out, hog tunes, and J& M. I don't have a fairing, so I do not know anything about either, this is just from what I have read.

I put the hogtunes in my Eglide shortly after I bought it. Rode with the stock speakers long enough to be able to tell that there is a difference in sound. The hogtunes have a better over all sound and are much louder then the stock ones.

Save the time and effort of the search, If you want the BEST and certainly the most expensive go with HAWG WIRED. They have exactly what you need for the best sound..........

I use HOGTUNES SPEAKERS AND HD AMP MOUNTED UNDER THE TOUR PAK. VERY HAPPY WITH IT. HAD J/M SPEAKERS BEFORE AND THEY ARE GOOD BUT NOT AS GOOD AS HOGTUNES.
