Default Biketronics vs Boom

Hello again, I think I know the answer but need one last push of encouragement. Biketronics or Boom (not Boom 2). I've done my research both in forums, and dealers however only got to hear 1 in person. So anyone out there with some final input would be helpful. Thanks all.

You just compared the Patriots to your local H.S. Football team.

I ordered biketronic over Christmas to put into cop glide. Went with the titan 7.1s, Kenwood head unit, and the 4 channel amp. Good gracious it's loud and crisp...want to eventually get the bagger speakers just to do it but the 2 up front is plenty. I've got nothing but good things to say about them. Awesome service as well.

The replies, while many are sarcastic but true, should give you a clue. They aren't even in the same team photo! The Boom thrive, if you can call it that, at about 40 watts per channel. The Biketronics can take every bit of 120+ watts RMS and not flinch. When I bought the current RG Custom it had a set of Boom speakers being driven by a Clarion XC1410 amp...I wasn't impressed! Went to a RF 300X2 amp with the Infinity Kappas 62.11i...respectable if you're on a budget. Then I put in the Biketronic 7.1 Pros with a Cerwin Vega B2 amp....there is NO comparison! Period! Efficiency, response, and clarity on the BTs is unbelievable. Are they pricey? Yes. Are they worth it? Absolutely!
