Default New speakers

Does anyone make a better speaker that'll fit in the factory hole on my '13 Streetglide? Seems a little hard to hear on windy days and when you go a little above half volume it doesn't seem to increase the volume level any.

Just about everybody makes a better speaker. It depends on how much you want to spend. Any 5 1/4 speaker will fit. Any bigger and you will need adapter rings.

UltraNutz has a recommended quality sound build:

Polk audio mm651 6.5" speakers
Soundstream pn 4.540 amp
Poly fill (to wrap the speakers
Adapter rings

All for slightly over 3 hundo. I ordered everything from amazon but the speaker adapters. Do a search on UltraNutz to find all you want on the subject.

Didn't know if they needed to be a certain kind of "all weather" speaker or if I could just swing into best buy and pick up some polks or kickers.

Most Polk's are marine rated. DB651, DXi650, and the MM651's are all fine.

I thinking of going Polks cause my current speakers on my PBR4 are J&M. They do just fine, but I'm looking for a little more and matching 4ohm speaks.

no offense, but if you want a little more get rid of that PBR300x4. Bet those J&Ms would sound pretty good with a good 2ohm stable amp driving them.

Yes! If ya don't want to add an amp too, get a set of 6.5" 2ohm coax speakers ya like. Polk/infinity/jbl make some good ones. Mount them with some adapter rings from arc/dragonfly/throttleup... Enjoy!
