Am I right in thinking that all six OEM speakers in my 2018 Street Glide are 4 Ohms?
Looking to change out speakers for ones with better quality sound. Options to get waterproof speakers in the UK are very limited.

Most that I see are two ohm.

Harley uses 2 ohm speakers in their bikes.  This makes options very limited.

Thanks for the info.

Your system is 2 Ohm.  Since you are gonna change all the speakers you can use 4ohm.  You will however have to increase your volume probably 2 notches up from where you are listening to it now.  Some guys on here have changed only the rear speakers with 4ohm due to a bad speaker and just faded a little to the rear to balance the sound.  A 4ohm speaker actually is less work for a 2ohm amp.

Thanks for that response. Going with all 4 ohms gives me a greater selection of speakers.
