I would say a set of better quality speakers. At least that's what I'm going to do on my '09.

I have the stock system on my 08 UC. I added a Hog-Pod tweeter pod. It helped a lot. I'm thinking now maybe upgrading my speakers. undecided on J&M or Hogtunes. I had J&M's on another bike. Nice speaker's, but not sure if they are any better.

Yikes - starting to sound like the best sound upgrade to an '03 Ultra is a '10 Ultra ;-) .
