Default Speaker Upgrade Boom Audio Stage II or Hog Tunes?

Before anyone says this should go to the Audio Tech forum, I have been browsing over there and left more confused than I was before.

I have a 2017 Tri-Glide with the Premium Boom Audio system, and want to add the amp(s) and upgrade the 2 front fairing speakers and the 2 tour pak speakers. I am not too interested in the lower fairing speakers at this point, but may add at a lower date.

As mentioned in the title I think I want to stay with either the Boom Audio or Hogtunes systems and would like some feedback from Tri-Glide owners.

You all have been extremely helpful with questions, and I am eager to hear your opinions. Thanks!

law abiding bikers recommend the hd boom speaker amp upgrade, I listened to a 8 speaker\3 amp HD Boom setup last week it was awesome sounding had most of the dealership dancing.

I have just heard the "display" HD Boom Audio upgrades and they sound pretty darn good, with added bass and mid range. I have also heard some bad reviews of the same system.

I really don't want to go all out like the guys in the "audio" forum with all kinds of different amps and such. Prefer a plug and play system that will just improve the decent quality I have now.

I can tell you I had Hog Tunes speakers on my Street Glide and they were a significant upgrade from stock. I have heard the Boom speakers on the wall, and I imagine they are good. I just wanted to weigh in with how I was happy with the Hog Tunes speakers which were cheaper at the time.

i spent a small fortune on HD Boom Audio upgrade and hated it. At highway speed it was terrible. Sold everything for pennies on the dollar on EBay. Went with Biketronics amp and speakers. All with a lifetime warranty. Could not be happier.

If I were going to do an audio upgrade, I'd go the Biketronics route. I spent crazy money on my Road Glide for audio stuff that wasn't worth the money spent until I bought Biketronics products.

I hardly noticed a difference adding 4 stage 1 speakers.(I used points on a discount day)
I know my quality isn't perfect and I would like just a little more bass, but I'm really confused on how I can live with mine, hear it at 90 mph in traffic & hurt my ears at 60 mph with 2 bars to go. Maybe it's how I recorded it or classic rock isn't as demanding as new crap? That's with jackpot 2-1-2 and RCX slip-ons.
I would like to add an amp and lower speakers, but a need to hear it in person to reach in my pocket.

It's also amazing what wearing a set of earplugs will accomplish. The Boom Audio sounds pretty good with earplugs going down the road. And far less money than amp and speakers.
