Some of these stories make me not feel so bad about what I did thanks for all the stories guys.

Not putting fuse back in amp power lead after engine build and wondering WTH happened now??!!

 

Say it isn't so.

 

Yep, I never take that thing out, well never did before this anyways..... Thankfully n easy fix.

 

^ Ditto, except I installed the JM's BEFORE reading the audio forum. I still could kick my self in the *** for that!

I'm very happy with the sound I have now thanks to the suggestion's of the guru's here. I've gained quite a bit of useful knowledge in a short time here, that has helped me on a few different bikes already.

Thanks again!

P.S. If there is anything I can help anyone with here just let me know, I own a bodyshop and i take a lot of pride in my work, but at a fair price. I really enjoy working on bikes and like to help others. Just send me a PM.

 

Probably covers most of us, but not doing it right the first time... Follow the input from the great people here!!

Buying a hogtunes kit before researching the forum for upgrade advice..

Seems like a common problem around here!!

 

Ditto on that, Hogtunes cost me 8 months of screwing around only to have to yank it all and destroy it for them!

 

Hahaha, I feel your pain brother...

A while back agowhenthe BT LL were just being sold, for some stupid reason, I blindly live adjusted (useing my ears and music) a BT LL forgetting the whole time how sensitive the pots are and "POOF" no more tweeters.
One would think this would be the end of my ride on the dummy train but alas I did it again with the new replacement tweeters. Luckily this led into massive amounts of research and testing so it never happened again....
In the end I lucked out and I found someone that was selling an exact set of tweeters as he had blown woofers, So I sold him my woofers.

 

Buying a J&M Rokker system for my 2014 SG. Went through 2 amps, first one lasted under a year and second one, the fan rubs and you can hear it till you start your Bike. John at J&M said "it won't hurt anything" it started rubbing 1 month after I had them replace the 1st faulty amp. When they installed it in Sturgis, the tech put the long screws into the bottom of my fairing and cracked the paint. Just unhooked the amp and use moulded earplugs now. That was a waste of $1000 dollars. Worst customer service ever.
