Default Marine Speaker Suggestion Request

Before I go and buy a set of Boom! Audio or Hogtunes speakers to replace the front speakers on my 2010 Ultra, I keep seeing that you can get the same results for less if you purchase a set of marine speakers.

Can anyone provide an Amazon link to a pair that will be a perfect fit? I tried to search the forum, but had no success.

I'm not looking to put an amp in yet and the tour pak is detachable that gets hardly used. I just want to replace the OEM front speakers that are currently in my bike.

Thanks!

You are much better off upgrading to 6.5 non-marine speakers and adding a small amp in your fairing. Evening riding in the rain, your fairing speaker are not going to get wet enough to cause damage, especially if they are a 6.5 with adapter.

Try perusing a boat forum for a bit and search there?

it looks like he's new to bike audio....cut him some slack

when i knew nothing, which i only know a bit more now....I looked at Polk speakers because I wisely wanted weather resistance and figured marine grade speakers would be the best option, i learned there are better options which are equally weather resistant

Polks were the probably the bell of the ball here at one point.

Before you shove mmats and a stinger amp down his nubile throat, give him a chance to learn some things.

Hope the OP sticks around. Generally the audio guys here are super cool and they have great suggestions and advice.

Thanks Buzz... it's all good. I grew up with Mad Magazine and took joy in Snappy Answers to Stupid Questions. I decided to order different options from Amazon and will keep the one "I" like best.
