HOW do YOU or anyone else really know how these new speakers from B/T will sound and perform on the Harley ? ,,,,,,
B/T has been in business a long time and they have always offered a quality product line, but how do YOU really know about this new line-up ?
and that is my whole point ,,,,, regardless of the brands that you choose to promote here on the forum, how in the world do you personally know how they stack up against the other brand speakers, until you have actually installed them and compared ? ,,,,,,,
I am sure that the Hybrid Audio Technology Legatia series of speakers have a superior reputation in the automotive audio world, just like the high-end FOCALs do, but what does that really mean when it comes to the Harley Bagger application ?,,,,,,,,
not to start a slinging contest here, but do you see what I am referring to ? ,,,,,,
I think that it would be good for us all to put together an agreed upon set of testing/comparison criteria, and then put all of the major speakers & amplifiers to the test ,,,,
that would be of far more benefit to the forum members here, then just recommending this brand or that, based upon experience in the car audio field ,,,,,
I am not attacking you ,,, in fact I have a whole lot of respect for your knowledge in this field ,,,,
but you are the MODERATOR on this forum, thus readers give you an upgraded amount of respect (which you deserve) for your recommendations ,,,,,,,
and all I have been trying to point out to you is this ,,,,,,,,
when you make recommendations to other members of this forum, as being the best solution for what they want to do ,,, and you have NOT personally compared that solution to other brand products in the same field, it is not right for others to take your word that they are necessarily THE BEST solution ,,,,,
otherwise you are doing nothing but promoting one companies product over another ,,,,,
that is certainly a good idea, and maybe even more than a good idea ,,,,,,,,
but please understand that it is not MY fault that I may be one of the only audio systems manufacturers that takes the time to perform all of these comparison tests, post the results here when applicable and pay the $$ to promote the J&M product line-up on this forum,,,,
it takes ALOT of time, every day, every week, every month, of every year, to keep up with the posts on this forum that are applicable to motorcycle audio on the Harleys ,,,, answer individual questions, make recommendations based on prior experience etc,,,,, (and waste time sparing with those individuals who just cannot resist or have an axe to grind))
I welcome the thought of BIKETRONICS or HAWGWIRED, or HOGTUNES or FOCAL or anyone else in this business to become an HD-Forums sponsor, pony up the monthly fee for the banners etc and the right to make promotional posts and answer questions from the forum members,,,,,,
because if I am 100% sure about anything tonight, it is that many of you would love to see some audio posts without COMMAS !!!! ,,,,,,,,

Rockford, Alpine, Sony, Kenwood, Soundstream, Kicker, Infinity, JL Audio, ARC, Biketronics, V-Twin Audio, Hawg-Wired, to name a few and up until today your own products.
Let's put it all out on the table here John. Admit it to all here sir! You are pissed because I don't promote your products as much as YOU think I should based solely on the fact that you are a paying sponsor and then you go off complaining to Admins and Site Owners with the same sentiment of "gee he promotes Biketronics so much it isn't fair, they're not a sponsor". You are too silly to understand the simple fact that Biketronics sells HAT speakers. That's what I promote and will continue to promote. If you pick up the HAT line yourself and price accordingly, then you would likely have a piece of that pie as well.
For many a years you ranked as king for audio on bikes no doubt and I give you that credit/respect sir as you rightfully deserve. The problem as I see it sir is you can't see past your own ego to realize that this whole motorcycle audio world has evolved into the mainstream world of audio and people are no longer simply taking a company's word that they are the best and plunking down hard earned cash totaling astronomical amounts for product that according to MANY MANY MANY forum members here and on other forums, doesn't perform to expectation. You have your followers sir, I'm not a company so I don't have followers. We have what I consider working class people that come to this forum seeking advice on how to do something, and how NOT to do it. Notice the "WE" part John? That because up until about 2.5 years ago this forum was DEAD with a total of 238 posts spanning over a 3 year time frame. People like Glacierpearl, Pioneer74, Harleypingman, Myself (long before I was a moderator), and many others have brought this dead audio forum to life with valid, technical, experienced information and advice unlike yourself who doesn't contribute anything of a technical nature to any conversation other than cramming your product down everyone's throats every time they ask how to do something. Even threads that have absolutely nothing to do with an audio system but maybe an install kit or a handlebar control module question you post your solicitations in. This audio forum has become nothing but a BILLBOARD for J&M because of your tons and tons of solicitation type posts and threads. FuelMoto is a sponsor here yet you don't see them cramming the Powervision, Wood Cams, and Smith Brother's pushrods down people's throats on every thread and post in the Tuning section. Why you ask. Because the product sells itself! As far as audio is concerned (i'm not talking about the plethora of other products you sell) sir you have 2 GREAT things going for you; your amps (albeit priced outrageously expensive) and your impeccable customer service reputation. You are doing nothing more than marring that reputation by posting this craziness in these forums.
People want the truth about a product, simply put. There is but one way to do that in this situation and I don't see it happening because of logistics of getting manufacturers to provide equipment to test and costs associated with it, and that is with an independent laboratory doing the testing.
