Title pretty much says it .. wondering if anyone has replaced the stock speakers only. If so what did you go with and hows sound and ride quality ?

 

I changed out my 24 Road Glide stock fairing speakers to the Hertz SX 165 Neo. Definitely better than stock.
If I had it to do over again, I would. Then again, besides the stock speakers, really nothing to compare them to.

 

The hertz sx 165 neo really works with the stock amplifier without any other chance?

I found the hertz 165 have 4 ohms

 

Sorry, I was mistaken. Please forget what I said.

 

That's pretty much why I asked.
I was wondering the same thing and hoping to hear from those who may have done the hertz 165 upgrade about quality and volume on the highway.

 

I did the upgrade to the Hertz 165 Neo. They are 4ohm. I know little about speakers or why they should or shouldn't work in my 24 road glide, but they do. Still have the original amp. They are clearer with more base than the stock speakers and loud enough for me up to around 60 mph. I have a Klock Werks windshield.
My state doesn't have a helmet law and I only use the speakers when cruising around without a helmet on 2-4 lane roads. On expressways I use a helmet with cardo.
Purchased them from Amazon and figured if they didn't work I'd return them.

 

4 ohm speakers are designed to operate at a higher impedance than the 2 ohm system, which can potentially lead to overpowering the amp and causing it to overheat and potentially fail. 4 ohm speakers require more power to produce the same sound level as 2 ohm speakers, which can be challenging for the amp to provide. The amp may generate more heat when driving 4 ohm speakers, which can lead to reduced lifespan and reliability.

They may work for now, but I would not use 4 ohm speakers on a stock 2 ohm system.

 

I used the next one up from HD works for me
