Default Amplified Speakers - Now I get it

Still getting used to my new bike. This is my 2nd week of ownership but due to travel for work I have been out of town. Went out today and put about 75 miles on it or so, just getting out of town onto the back roads.

I never understood why people would upgrade the speakers as it seemed plenty loud around town, almost too loud. Changes rapidly once you hit 70 mph or so and I still have the stock exhaust.

So that said, I am no stereo aficionado and I don't get into all the fine points of sound quality etc. I just want a setup that I can get my groove on at 70mph and have it sound good.

So what do I need? Amplified speakers? Hogtunes? Someone point a stereo idiot to the right place where I can get some speakers that will rock at speed.

Thanks in advance.

PS....I LOVE this bike. I love it...I really do.

I just stuck the new hogtunes speakers in my 09 RG. They made a noticeable difference. No distortion at higher levels.

I'm looking for speakers also have seen many threads about systems but wasn't looking at the time if you go to search you will have to read through all models and see if it pertains to your bike, most all the people on this forum are very helpful but sometimes you get the jerk that thinks he has to put his 1 cents worth in. I have know doudt that many will be helpful in our times of need. Lol

Are they amplified speakers? At 70mph can you get your groove on?
