Not real friendly towards certain brands that come fairly highly regarded here,, lol
Oh well, I like my system plenty well....

 

Big money guys, eh?? Lol

 

just a guess but you must be Russell J?

there always someone on that page that know everything....

not a lot love for Bt on that page but mention Hertz and they all go goo goo right away...

 

They'd flip out if they saw my Sparkomatic cassette desk WITH auto-reverse and Radio Shack coaxials! They'd be hatin (as the young folks say)

 

I haven't checked that site out, but there's other forums that say the same Hertz being the end all be all. Here are my thoughts -- 100% Hertz has some bad *** products, in fact, I run Hertz HCX 690 in my lids and a Hertz HDP4 amp. Those 6X9's are the loudest and cleanest sounding speakers on my bike, and the HDP4 pushes more power than any amp I've tried. Now......I also have Infinity 693.9i 6X9's inside my bags. They are no where near as super clean crisp as the Hertz, but the get almost as loud and BLOW them away in bass. Not even close, the Hertz have no bass in comparison. The Hertz speakers are 450.00 the Infinity's were 120.00. The Hertz HDP4 amp is extremely loud. Gannicus can share our conversations as I convinced him he absolutely needed this amp at 599.00 to replace a 189.00 Soundstream TN4.900. Our first thoughts, were holy cow is this thing loud ---- but where did the bass go? The sound just wasn't warm enough compared to the 189.00 Soundstream. I mean it sounded really good with an amp that cost a fraction of the price. Some folks swear by the HDP4 because it gets so damn loud and at the same time I know folks that have ditched it for a JL 600/4, so there's that.

So would I say that my hertz amp is 400.00 better? The speakers 300.00 better? I don't know. If I had a big wheel bagger with air ride, custom paint job, etc. Probably. If I was an average joe who rode his bike with a stage 1 upgrade, and not much else --- hell no. Get a BT set up that has a life time warranty and sounds fantastic. I think the biggest challenge BT faces is they are lumped in with the likes of J&M, Hogtunes, Boom II, etc. all the "bike" audio that really is subpar.

 

yes sir, that's me,, Do not claim to know everything, but I'm not an idiot either when it comes to electronics, I work on Avionics and have for 32 years, lol... I did my research, and like what I have, most use aftermarket HU too,, so don't know what they think about the flash stuff,,

 

sorry I meant to say that the Jeremy Miller Guy was the know it all.....and an ***

not you...

 

No worries JimT. Everybody's always looking for the next "BIG THING" Designer amps, Designer speakers, Designer tweets, etc,. If you love your system that's all that counts,

My audio system on my 2003 is bone stock...for now.

 

Crazy,, bet that wins some trophies! You have a friend with a sound system like THAT in his bike,, and your's is still bone stock? 2003 no less? (Can't understand why I only did speakers in my 2010....the one on my RGS blows the stock system away, wife couldn't hear the music going down the road,, (She can now,, actually asks me to turn it down! )
