Polk (waterproof) speakers have been used but you'll find that it isn't much of an improvement.

 

Some have put a backing behind the speaker but the limitation is the speaker size and power output of the amplifier.

 

You can do a search for Polk speaker and you'll find several threads on this. http://www.venturerider.org/forum/search.php?searchid=5337411

 

I use the headset in my helmet always (J&M)

Check out http://www.toptenreviews.com/home/auto/best-marine-speakers/ but remember the size of the speakers.

Bumping this up. I just got a 2012 Venture and it still has cassette player so looking. to upgrade to something better. Any advice would be much appreciated.

I use a 12v Bluetooth receiver inside the fairing, plugs into the aux wire in there. I stream music from my phone. Many gut the cassette and make a small storage there, I installed charger ports behind the door.

I found the best cure for bad sounding speakers is to simply leave the sound system turned off.

Nothin better than QUIET. Gives a person time to think their own thoughts.

Thank you very much. Do you use the stock speakers or did you install another pair of speakers? I have used the Boss Audio with the amp and 4 speakers in another bike and it was good.

⬆️ This!! I hop on the bike to get rid of human noise, other than the bike, and the breeze… 🤔😜
