Is there no sound or some sound? The head unit is notorious for dying. I hope thats not it. Either way I'd look at getting the 6.5" adapter rings and 6.5" 2-way speakers for much better sound. An external amp helps too.

Head over to the Audio sub forum for tips.

If you're just doing the speakers, I would go with the Biketronics 7.1's. A little less money would be the Polk MM651's, but you would have to get the adaptor rings for them.

I went from stock to hogtunes which was little upgrade, then Boom Audio was was more improvement and now am using Polk Audios MM651's backed with a Rockford Fosgate PBR300X2 amp. Sound is very very good. The Polks can be had on Amazon for around $130 a pair and you would need Adapter rings for around 40 or 50 bucks from Dragonfly.

This. Polk mm651's and a RF PBR300x2 amp. I used speaker adapters from Throttle Up Industries. They were fairly simple to install.

If the head unit is still good some infinity/JBL 2 ohm coax 6.5 and adapters is good bang for the buck. Polk mm651 are better. Adding a Rockford Fosgate pbr amp to the polks is a nice setup. Biketronics 7.1 Titans with the amp is better.
If the head unit went south there are lots of great options in the aftermarket.
Check out the audio section. Good Luck!

I've got some stock ones you can have if you pay the shipping.

If your just replacing speakers Infinity Kappas 62.9i 6.5" 2ohm speakers with 6.5 adapters is decent replacement for buck. The Polk MM651 are having some recent reliability issues.
