Did you add an amp, or just the speaker upgrade ?
Only the speakers at this point....

Spent a little time listening to the speakers connected to my ipod and I must say the sound is much more crisper and clean even without an amp but I am going to check into an amplifier as long as it doesn't take up a bunch of space in the bags otherwise I think I am satisfied with the sound improvement

Did you hook the factory tweeters back up? Has anyone who has the upgraded to J&M speakers already done this upgrade? My J&M's sound a lot better than stock, I just wonder if these would be that much better than the J&M's to make it worth the effort........
The force is strong in this one.....
Getting them to fit was a pain requiring some grinding around the opening on the motorcycle...They do sound much better but now Im thinking an amp would make them sound much better and possibly a 6 or 8in. Bass tube in the bags but dont wanna cut holes in them...

You won't get much useful sound out of the bags without the bags being vented in some way. I vented mine in three locations. 2 of them are hidden and one is visible. I simply drilled holes in the pattern of a small circle in these three locations. I covered those locations with a product from Frogzkins that allows air to travel but not water.

Yes, an amp is needed to realize proper sound from those speakers.
Not sure about a Bazooka bass tube. I have really been impressed with the little self contained JL Audio 6.5 " Sub I use in my left saddlebag.
The sub on mine actually sounds better with the lid closed.

Nice job...

JimmyTee's stereo upgrade is the best I have seen to date on the F6B (upgraded speakers, upgraded head unit, clean pre-amp inputs(not speaker level step down transformers), detachable sub, upgraded amps, upgraded wiring).
Also see that J&M has pushed their F6B speaker availability date out another month to 10/1/2015. They missed a complete riding season.
Adding MM or DXI 6.5" Polk speakers without an amp is missing the point of their potential quality, completely.
Also disconnect the factory tweeter, too.
No amp, stay with oem or JM.
