Hi all,
I'm hoping for some suggestions.
Husband rides a 2010 Electra Glide Ultra Classic and wants to upgrade his sound.
He loves the J&M:
- 500 watt amp
- fairing speakers
- lower speakers
- rear speakers
- wiring harness
Basically he wants a sound that doesn't get distorted at high volume and just "plugs and plays".
For me, the J&M is way expensive and before I pull the trigger on all of the above, I'd love some feedback.
Can he still get the equipment, sound and ease of install with another system that is maybe not so costly?
I appreciate all insights!
Kim

 

J&M is not a popular choice on this forum, call Bill at Biketronics and he will hook you up with everything you need, all his equipment is life time warranty and kicks A$$, ask me how I know, the smile hasn't left my face yet, let him know you are a hdforum member and you also get a discount.

 

My suggestion would be for you to call and talk to Bill at Biketronics. Make sure and tell him your an HD Forums member and discuss with him what your looking for and any concerns you may have. Bill will not try to sell you anything you don't need or don't want. Not to mention their top notch customer service and lifetime warranty. You won't find that at J&M.

2010 Limited with some stuff

 

Kim,

Welcome to the forum you came to the right place. If you husband likes what he's heard form the JM system he will be blown away by what Biketronics offers. I know that's easy for me to type, so please check out the link below so you have a frame of reference when we tell you BT blows it away. The bike Below has Biketronics 4180 Amp, BT 7P1 speakers in the fairing and BT Titan II 6.5 in the lowers and Pioneer 6X9's in the bags. So a comparable set up to 6 speakers on an ultra. 100% without question call Bill.

Enjoy the vid:

 

Look at my signature.
Best system I ever had.
I had stock, hog tunes, J&M Rokkers and amp, J&M new and improved Rokkers with amp. Nothing compares to the system I have now. Call Biketronics.

 

Kim,

Speaking as someone that didn't know much about the audio stuff, I would HIGHLY recommend the biketronics stuff. I've got the the 4180 amp and so far just the 7.1 speakers, and can't believe how good it sounds. I can't wait to get the 6.5 speakers for the lowers. You won't be disappointed going that route over the jm stuff.

Lol. . . He's heard JM already so that's not gonna surprise him. If you want to surprise him go Biketronics. If Biketronics is over budget we have few more surprises around here.

 

Kim, a lot of people here are holding their tongues about JM products because he's an advertising sponsor at this site. All I will say is that a lot of the various sound systems you will find advertised will have technical specifications that are over rated and will under perform. Some manufactures will baffle you with terms like 'Peak Power Wattage' and other unscrupulous marketing terms when flogging their speakers and amplifiers. You won't find that with Biketronics stuff. If anything, they under rate their products capabilities so that their equipment exceeds their claims. Your husband will be far better served with Biketronics products, their stuff is essentially over engineered and bulletproof.
