Speakers
I have a new SG and the speakers suck @ss. I was wondering if I could install a set of 4 ohm speakers ??? I think I am correct in the head unit being a 2 ohm setup. The boom speakers look like a good choice, but I really don't want to buy them. And I am not going to spend $600 on a amp and speaker set up

I just installed the boom speakers in my 11 this weekend, all i can say is holy crap what a difference! I went this route because i did not want to do amp and bigger speakers with the money difference it woulda been. Well worth the $110 i spent!

Why would you even think about installing 4ohm speakers with a head unit set up for 2ohm speakers? The performance and volume levels would suck even worse.
Infiniti Kappa... 2ohm... kick ***... Google them.

I dropped the J&M 7.25s in on Friday and took a long test ride on Saturday. They passed the 70mph interstate test with flying colors. The sound is nice and clear rather than the suck @ss distortion of the factory speakers. This doesn't mean that I won't eventually add the amp, but for now, just the speaker upgrade did the trick. Oh, and let me shamelessly plug Dr. V-Twin for the hook-up.

If you want economy, but decent sound = Hogtunes
If you want to spend more & maybe a tad better sound = J&M

I have not heard the j and m speakers, but my booms are super clear turned up and actually make my ears hurt.
