I am running Polk Audio's with my Arc. The Polks are marine rated for what it's worth. Other popular ones are the Infinity Kappa series and Alpine SPR series. There a bunch of good ones out there !

I'm using Polk MM-651 6.5", 2.7Ω coaxials, marine-grade. Since they aren't 4Ω like most replacement speakers, I can get a way without an amp. Plenty of volume without distortion even at highway speed.

I should also add that if you're keeping the rear speakers on a UC like I did, the rear 2Ω pair will be louder than the front, but a slight adjustment with the fader will even things out nicely.

I have a set of Alpine SPRs on the way from AaronOregon (site sponsor) along with a Wet Sounds amp (same as Arc, but coated for marine use). Can't judge them yet, but the specs for frequency range and sensitivity are just a little better than the Arc speakers.

Without an amp install a lot of speakers will make you happy. You can use 4 ohm speakers if it is a 06 or newer. you can go up on ohms but not down in ohms.
Before my am install I have tried several different speakers which were:

Memphis over size
Alpine spr's
Titan

All were good with out an amp, ones I added the biketronics 180 watt amp I stuck with the titan speakers

you must remember you will lose some volume with the 4 ohm speakers but have more usable volume with a much better clarity in sound. The closer you get to 2 ohm speakers the better volume. The titans which are 3 ohm had better volume than the alpines but the memphis had better volume than the titans.

thanks for the info, already running the arc audio amp and speaker. No complaints guess just always looking for what else is out there.

I currently have the Arc Audio amp pushing the biketronics 6.5" Titan speakers and it sounds pretty darn good...

I will probably upgrade to a nicer set of components later, but for now this setup is a major improvement over stock.
