J&M 7.25"'s, the J&M 250W amp, and a Hogtunes Tweeterpod. This is what everyone at the shop runs and the sound is amazing. We offer discounted pricing on everything as well to forum members. Email me at DREW@DRVTWIN.COM for pricing please.
Thanks!

I replaced the Hog Tunes (which replaced the stock speakers in the first month) with the J&M 7 1/4" on my 09 RG and I really like them a lot. I may add the amp just to give me more headroom, but it is very nice now, with good recorded music.

Just finished installing my new J&M 7.25's. I have an Alpine IDA-X100, ARC amp, and kept my previous Alpine tweeters and crossovers (installed in upper open gauge holes.)
It definitely sounds better than my previous Alpine components. The amount of bass that comes out of these speakers is shocking. I'm glad I took chance with these because they didn't let me down. I'm going to try to get a video up of my setup now that I have the new iPhone.

in reference to replacing your speakers you have lots of choices stay with the same size or step up to a 6.5 inch speaker I have installed both and I now only install the 6.5 inch its much better. As far as using a amp to drivethe speakers yes if you cab afford to they will perform a lot better with a real amp on them the chip amp in the factory radio is just ok. I use arc amps and have had awesome success with all the kits I have installed, sometimes I do upgrade the speakers to Exile audio s/n is much better and the sound is more defined. I could offer kits to members but I am just trying to share my passion for great sound anywhere if anyone has questions ill answer them, using my 20 years of audio exp to help anone out
