I have Infinity Kappa 62.II's, they are available in 2 ohm, which is what the factory ones are.You will have to buy the 6.5" adapter rings, they are available off ebay for less than $20.00. Anything Harley specific is marked up an outragious amount.

My friend has hog tunes in his road glide and I'm not too impressed. Will be going with different speakers when I upgrade

I think an amp is a must, but that is just me, most 6.5's or such need more clean power to really push them "without issues" than what a stock head unit is going to push.

Polk's 6.5's are what I have installed & very very pleased with them only issue is that I run an amp with them.

I put J&M on my 2013 UC and its way better than stock.
Just the 4 speakers is all I did.
Very happy with the set up.

I'd add my vote for the Biketronics 7.1's. While I upgraded my whole system, these speakers are very well made, fit great, and have a lifetime warranty. Biketronics support is great as well.

The Hogg tunes isn't much of an improvement over stock. Biketronics and J&M are better but if you really want better sound at volume I think you need to consider an amp. Just my 2 cents.

Agree with both budget(?) and Audio section comments! Biketronics if you have the $$, Infinity Kappas 62.11 if not.

Anything is better than stock. Hog tunes are an ok choice, but if you want to melt your face I would go with a rockfordfogate amp and speakers. I have two amps, one in front for the fairing and lowers and one in the back for the tour pods and bags. It is loud!
