If you don't want to add a amp and just want to add a better sounding speaker than stock..HD Boom speakers aren't bad. Now if you want to spend some money, I would go with the new Rockford 4ch amp and a nice 6.5 inch fairing speaker (Hertz Titans). Then if you want to add more speakers down the road you will have a ability to add another set of speakers.

I have Boom Audio Speakers ( 4 ) and the Boom Audio Bass Post Kit on my 09 Ultra and have been very satisfied with the quality and sound. It was an easy install and there was a definite difference. Now I won't tell you that it's "concert quality" at 70 mph on the Interstate but it was worth the investment in my opinion. If you're looking for some great sound at interstate speed you might try some ear buds! At this time of year you might even geta deal at the local dealership on one of their "sale events" for the holiday.
