Default need more speakers

2010 flh standard with a sony radio and 5 1/4 sony speakers, middle of the sony price range.going down the road at 60 mph i have to turn the radio volume up to 37 out of 50 to barely here the music.anymore and the speakers break up.already have bad hearing so thats the main problem.will a amp and better speakers get this to where i dont have to turn the volume up so much and be loud enough for me to hear the music?i guess thats how amps work but i dont know.i just need more volume!dont mind putting amp in saddlebag and spending the money for speakers but i want it right the first time.

I run a hawg wired 150w amp and speakers with a Sony head unit and it is fine, a good amp and speakers should definitely help
