Default SP audio

Has anyone on here ran or running the sp audio 8’s with a Banda amp? If so what’s your opinion? Worth the money?

The ones I tried I sent back to a buddy. There are no top shops using either of those products....I would stick to the brands with a proven reputation like Beyma.

Not everyone can afford Beyma. Yes they are top of the line speakers but there
are other choices that will get most people where they want to be

Even if you can afford Beyma there are plenty of other speakers out there that'll get you where you need to be. Heard a quote from a noted builder the other day, I can make **** sound good. That's what's up.

I can tell you Banda amps are solid.
If you know what you are doing you could probably make those speakers sound good.

Afford? Beyma has 75% mark up in it. If you look for a deal you can find it.

How many SP Audio's have you tried and compared to a Beyma speaker? Have you looked at the prices of a comparable SP Audio neo and a comparable Beyma 6.5 they are not much different. Beyma also has about 15 6.5's to choose from and the mark up for SP Audio is significantly MUCH higher than Beyma. SOFTPETER is very incorrect in saying Beyma has a 75% mark up.

Can you make lesser expensive speakers sound pretty good. Yes of course...I've won shows with bikes running 35.00 speakers but you do get what you pay for. It's not just how something sounds, it's material, build quality, etc.

I wasn’t advocating for SP audio just was saying everyone’s budget is different. Beyma is a very nice apeaker
and pricey. If they are the same cost then yes those other things come into play.

I've ran the sp audio cm8 in my lids about 2 years ago. They were ok at best. Just not the clean sound I was looking for. I still have them. If you want them, they're yours. Just pay me shipping. Otherwise they still sit on the shelf.

How did the SP compare to the $50/set Rockville pro that you had in your lids also?
