You guys with the Ultras, you replacing all four speakers or just the front ones? When riding two up, I can't hardly hear the rear speakers anyway. When I ride alone, I usually don't have the radio on. So I am wondering if it is worth spending money for the rear ones.

Personally, I went out and bought the front Boom speakers on sale for 20% off. I liked them a lot and waited again for the 20% off and bought the rears. Lakeshore HD is offering free shipping and is 20% off.

I went with the JBL GTO speakers. Satisfied my need for better sound. Only did the front. All is good for now. I need to stay off of this forum though or I may change my mind,,lol

Went through J&M speakers with a pioneer head unit. Ok, but definitly not that great out on the highway.

Now using 4 arc speakers with an arc amp being fed by an IPOD through the pioneer head unit. No skips, no crackle, snap , pop's and great, loud, clean sound even at 85 mph with trucks next to me.

Never going back to running without an amp to drive it out on the highway. YMMV

I'm going to replace all four on my Ultra with the Boom's. I ride alone quite a bit so I do want them in the back as well. Plus, I think they look pretty cool compared to stock.
