The stock OEM speakers are paper coned, cheaply made, weak speakers. The Polk Audio replacements are far superior in that they are marine rated and are not affected by water. This is especially important on a motorcycle that eventually will be caught in the rain. The OEM speakers are doomed to fail especially the ones in the rear, which for reasons unknown are designed to be mounted facing straight up which effectively turns them into funnels for water to collect in. Fortunately, the Polk speakers are polypropylene with foam ribbed surrounds for marine application, which suits them perfectly with occasional water exposure from rain on the road. They seem to be clearer than the originals, and I detect no distortion in them. They do however require a higher volume setting than the OEM to make the same sound level. This may be because of a difference in impedance (resistance) between the two. It should also be mentioned that all speakers of this size (regardless of manufacturer or brand) are not capable of producing any bass frequencies at all. That is probably why all the newer bikes with sound systems have upgraded to much larger speakers and even made room for amplified subwoofers. Considering the miniature size of the electrical system on most motorcycles, this is probably not a good idea (especially an older one). The Polk Audio speakers are excellent upgrade replacement speakers that are a drop in fit providing you with many more years of sound from your existing system.Vollständige Rezension lesen

They are good speakers. I was just hoping I would be able to hear them in my Harley and I can't. Do you have anything else that would b louder in the 4 inch size? Or else I will have to put speakers in my saddle bags after I cut holes and don't really want to do that lol. Thanks for your time

I put these in my 2002 Nissan frontier crew cab rear doors. I bought these because of reviews of Polk speakers and the higher sensitivity ratings when compared to many other brands of the same size. These are rated at 91dB and the speakers they replaced were rated at 84dB. The cab now sounds nice and balanced.

These speakers are excellent quality and are perfect specs and fit to replace the oem single-way paper-cone speakers on your Honda Gold Wing GL1200 motorcycle. They will fit in the front or rear speaker location, for GL1200s so-equipped. Since they are coaxial speakers, they will also sound much better than the old speakers. They don't offer a lot in the way of bass, but will offer some bass improvement since they are modern design speakers replacing your old speakers. They are also marine-certified so they can tolerate the rain if your motorcycle gets caught out in the wet. I think these are the best replacement speakers you can buy for a GL1200.
Sound good but with low watts medium level add say 100 watts past volume 7-8 they distort pretty bad.
