Ordered them Monday afternoon and arrived today, just finished installing them, took all of 25 minutes and most of that was spent cleaning areas that don't see the sun shine.
I had a song that I played on the mp3 player before I changed them, the same song after changing, quite a noticeable difference.
Volume seems slightly higher for the same setting, sound is a lot sharper, more distinct and I didn't appear to lose any bass, actually might have gained a bit.
The speakers I took out were Panasonic, that stock for the Voyager?
A good investment IMHO, better than my seat mod (more noticable return for the $$$$)..........Mike

Thanks Mike for posting your review on these speakers . I noticed on my last ride that my left speaker was making a " crackling " sound . Not a bad price but I think I'll do the same and just order the speakers . I'll decide later if I need the amp as well .

Great forum !!!!

stock speakers have no branding whatsoever......... Kawi or otherwise.
Let me qualify that, the factory speakers on my 2011 Vaquero have no identifying signage.

Just viewed video of amp and speakers. Looks like a great plug and play unit made for our bike. I notice oem speakers dont perform great, especially on bass notes. I will try speakers 1st, not sure im ready to get into fairing for amp on brand new bike yet.
