Default speakers

Ok fellas, I just purchased a set of hogtunes speakers for my 2001 ultra, some one tell i did the right thing. I didn't buy the amp, thought i would see how the speakers sound first and go from there.

You'll like them as they are far better than stock.

I noticed a big difference in volume and less distoration over the stockers and I only replaced the speakers.The magnets must be at least 75% heavier.

No question I am biased but I have tested the J&M #HCUS-98GT and #HCUS-06GT fairing speaker upgrades for the Harleys,against what is offered by Hog Tunes and the J&M speakers give you even more sound and better overall fidelity on the highway ,,,,,,,

I am sure there are people on this forum that have also had this experience ,,,,,,

I agree with LOU. Much less distortion and a more full range of sound. Rarely anymore do I have my volume past the halfway mark, and I listen to more music now just because it sounds so much better.

I've got the hogtunes both front and rear on my bike,the sound quality is alot better than the factory speakers [sm=smiley20.gif]I'm very happy with the hogtunes,and Pez is great to deal with as well

JMJOHN, I didn't hear any mention of a discount on the J&M speakers for the members of this forum??
