I had HD boom speakers on my 11 Limited. Sounded great, even with loud pipes. I agree that the stock speakers are poor on my 13, so I listen to my tunes through the headset. Great sound there!

How much is "breaking the bank"?

Check the Audio area. Personally I'd not get Boom or Hogtunes.

I have had no issues with the BOOM audio on my '12 Limited. Had it installed at purchase and now have about 12k miles.

I haven't done it yet, waiting on another set of MM651's and my Soundstream PN4520D amp One set in the fairing and the lowers. Thanks to UN and BG for their input.....

I upgraded the 4 speakers on my 12 to Boom and put the bass ports in. It's a decent upgrade and I noticed the improvement. I can crank it up loud enough to hear it with power dual header and rinehart 4" at 80.

It would probably be better with the amp, but the instructions say it must go under the tourpak and I like to detach mine.
