I am not very good at math....but anyhow, I do not have the Harley speakers,
but I DID upgrade to J&M speakers, and they were a great improvement over stock.
I liked the front speakers so much, I changed out my rear speakers as well and didn't hear much of an improvement.
Since you have a classic, I think you would like any other speaker better than the stock ones.

I'm with you. I like to stay with H-D stuff when possible. Anyhow, I'm glad this subject came up.

OK got them. They seem cleaner and more crisp. Improved volume less distortion at speed and sitting still. I do not have a ghetto blaster sound system but for stock head unit and a simple up grade in speakers it is noticeable to me. Worth the 149.00 to me. JMHO

Just installed them in one hour on my FLHX.They are much clearer and have lots of treble to them.I had to turn bass way up to my satisfaction.Although they dont blow you away,they are worth the money.Im not spending $400 on a stereo when Im happy with $150.Thinking about adding some insulation for more bass.There ya go.
