Default Just installed the Boom Audio Road Glide Speakers & WOW!!!!
WOW!!!!!! These things sound amazing. Very clear & very loud. Even at 60+mph. It's like 100 times better than those shitty stock one. I got them for $135 out the door. Took about an hour to install. Would've been so much better if cold beer had been involved. For the money, you can not go wrong with these. I don't see why you'd want to invest a small fortune buying amps & all the other bells & whistles. These are good enough.

I agree. Installed a set over the winter. Well worth it.

Just replaced mine also....With the boom speakers now on the front and the back it does sound good....having said that I don't think adding an amp would hurt either. For now I'll leave it as is

I bought them at my local dealership. They give a 15% discount to anyone that buys a bike from them.

do you have to separate the fairing on the Roady to install these speakers or do they drop in?

Yep, you have to open up the fairing. Not a big deal though
