[QUOTE="Heath, post: 32733, member: 113"] Moving from 4" to 6" will definetly sound better only if the head unit has enough power to drive them. If it is the weak link and that's why the 4" ones don't sound good then the 6" ones will sound even worse. As far as keeping the stock appearance good luck. Best bet would be to get an amp that can take the signal from the head unit and boost it enough to drive the speakers you want to use. An amp and 6" speakers should be an awesome upgrade. As for the sound difference, some modern head units let you adjust the different sources so the volume is even when switching between sources. Could be that or it could be the radio has been used more and the circuitry is fresher in the cassett portion. Or it's evil and plotting against you in which case you should take everything off the bike and send it to me. I have protection from evil. Heath [/QUOTE]
