They just didn't sound as good as the booms did, and that's not a good sign. I kept the amp in and left it that way for a couple years. Just recently had one of the booms go and decided to do it right this time and go with all Biketronics. This was a few years ago so maybe the newer speakers sound better?
I basically did the same thing as HD but sold the whole system including the amp. As HD said this was a few years ago and their speakers might be much better now. At the time I thought JM was the "Best" because it cost the "Most" WRONG!!
