Default Mmmm mmats ....

When I started the upgrade on my 19 RGS, I had a pair of Kappas. Got lots of great advice here and picked up an NVX VADM2 from Ron33, who has helped a bunch in tuning it. Everyone said, those Kappas are ok but you should think about the MMATs. Well the Kappas were free. I got what I paid for, had a problem with the internal connector with one of them and decided to follow the advice given here and got the MMATs. They got here today, they got swapped and so far .... WOW! Even sitting still in the garage, they are so loud that ... well ... great sound quality and no distortion. I can only guess but I would call it a clear difference in volume, clarity, and sound depth. Thanks for all guidance and the best I advice I can give is believe the hype, both on the MMATs and the quality of the people here. Now I gotta go social distance at about 85mph and create some sound pollution

Just 2 in the fairing and they are awesome. The Kappas were a small improvement for the short while they worked. Nothing compared to the improvement with the MMATs. 50% is now too loud except at the highest speeds ... I don't know when the last time I thought my stereo was too loud.
