Brother, you have no idea what "Phenomenal" sounds like. I bet the guy that did your install said that's what it would be didn't he.
Can I ask what media do you use for a music source and how it is connected to you bike.

Actualy American Hardbag recommended Hertz coaxials for lowers. They thought my components were overkill.

And they were correct. Cost versus return is not even close. There's no one here that will dispute the fact that they have excellent SQ. But....the lower frequency's that they allow you to play will wash out in that location at highway speeds.

Perfect Amazon has them, free deliver and free return. That means I get them to test for free. Please name some more I’ll buy and compare them all them all.
