I use exile audio and hertz on all of my installs and they work perfect the big difference you should be looking for is in the tweeter material a soft dome on a bike will soud good but look for the titanium ones instead ... the BOOM audio is a joke compaired to these two companies and at almost the same price they are not a good deal and quality is just not there if you need more info just ask thanks

The exile audio part number is sx65c its a great speaker with the titanium done speaker they perform very very well they will be great for any budget you will need 6.5 speaker adapters for your install in a batwing style fairing or the road glide. yes they are a marine /car audio speaker I use these when the arc 6.5 speakers are just not enough for the cust! The hertz are a higher priced speaker and do sound better but are mostly used in car and not quite as bright as the exile audio ones. where to get them well hertz is dealer only

Last weekend I installed a set of the boom audio speakers. No amp, nothing else, just the speakers. I was very impressed at the result. Not only was the needed volume reduced but the sound quality was very impressive. I'm no audio file but my ears tell me that it was so much better from stock. At highway speeds it was a vast improvement as well. Mp3's and CD's sounded so much better. I tried J&M's but found them to have way to much treble for my tastes and returned them. The boom audio works for me for sure

I purchased the J&M 5.25 three way speakers, they were priced right in the middle of the 3 I mentioned. I have a friend who purchased these, although his bike is older and he has the 4 ohm speakers but he likes them and they are way louder than mine. Hopefully the 2 ohm's that I get will be just as good. I will let you know what I think after I get them. The biketronics were back up there at the $250 price range.

hog tunes are good, J&m are good but Hawg wired are better, and made in USA, Dumbassbiker.com has all of them at great prices, and The last set I brought from him He refunded my credit card an extra 5% because of some sale.Bottom line is they are all better then stock units, but an amp really makes them kick ***, just make sure you have correct ohms for your bike

I hope so this means my new speakers will be 8 times better than the stock ones I have now, just what I wanted.

*Hawg Wired speaker products are designed and developed in the USA by Hawg Wired utilizing global manufacturing companies.
i suppose that's better than completely manufactured outside the us, but don't buy them just for that reason.
