Default hogtunes handlebar mounted speakers

Has anyone tried these new hogtunes hadlebar speakers? If so I would like some feedback on them or are they just the typical handlebar system like cyclesounds.

I'm seriously considering getting these as well. I've searched the internet (google) trying to find a review but have not had any luck...anybody use these?

Default Hogtunes (Drag Specialties) Handlebar Speaker System

I, for one, am not at all impressed with the hogtunes handlebar speaker system. I had the system installed on my 2009 Softtail Deluxe and it worked great... the first day. The second day, only one speaker was working. I took it back to the dealer that installed it and they said one speaker looked like it had shorted out. So, they ordered another complete system incase the amp was bad.

I just got home from the second install, because the amp was indeed fried, only to pull in the garage and have it start making the most gawdawful sound you ever heard. I thought the speakers were going to melt before we could get the seat off and get the thing disconected.

It was raining on the way home. If anything is made for a motorcycle and it cannot get wet, it has no business on a motorcycle. I'm not saying that's what did it. I am saying, I've gone through two systems in a 3 week time period and intend to get every penny of my money back.
