Default OEM front speakers - streetglide

I just installed hog tunes speakers in my 08 streetglide. When I pulled off the batwing and saw the stock speakers for the first time- I was amazed at how small the magnets were...no wonder they distort at half volume. I'd be embarrased to show them to anybody - they are absolute junk and to top it off -they're made in China! Come on Harley...By the way the hogtunes speakers rock! That's the best hundred bucks I've ever spent on a HD.

Glad to hear you got a great result. Gotta hand it to Pez, great guy, great service, and no infomercials. Not even a plug, just a nice little follow up.

Your a Class Act Pez!

Do you need to buy the amp too, or does the speakers do the job by them selves?

Ok, I've been reading a lot abut these, both good and bad. I THINK I'm gonna try the hogtunes and amp. Guess I'll have to contact "PEZ" and talk with this guy. Or maybe he'll email me and get the ball rolling................. I don't make decisions quickly, i need to be sold on a product.
