They may be. I went through a few sets of speakers. Always wanting more i guess. I had the hogtunes 5 1/4 and they were great for the price tage of like 80 bucks. Often you find them in the classifieds here for like 60. I ran the hogtunes with the stock HK stereo. Then i added a Rockford fosgate amp and bigger speakers.

I added the Polk mm661's, nice improvement over stock but kinda knew I'd need an AMP to be truly happy so that will happen this winter.

The installation is quite simple ( it is actually "Plug and Play" ) and there are no cutting of wires or "Creative Engineering" techniques required. The outer fairing comes off ( 5 torx screws .. 3 across the windshield and one on each side down near the bottom near the lower triple trees on the riders side of the fairing. The rear are simple just pop off the speaker covers remove 3 ( maybe 4 screws ) and pull the old speakers out and pop the new ones on in reverse order.

7 torx screws. There is one about midway down the outboard side on each side of the faring as well. The speakers on my 12 only had three screws, two torx and one alien.
