What is wrong with the people in this thread FOOL? Rude and name calling. The man asks about a sound system for his motorcycle and you mention the name of a huge motorcycle audio retailer (not accessory...audio) and I'm such a fool for not realizing you were talking about the motor which he didn't ask about at all.

You guys can have this thread. OP, come on over to the Audio section. We will be glad to help you put a system together. All the guys on there are helpful and respectful. There is no name calling and people generally respond with answers associated to the questions asked. I'm really sorry I clicked on this thread. It's one of only 2 times I've encountered hateful people since I've been on this forum. Good luck either way man.

Let me guess you won 1st place in the sound competition last year at Daytona bike week? If so congratulations I'm sure someone cares..........

He didn't like your choice and he shared that opinion in an attempt to keep the OP from wasting his money on that over priced shrill sounding music equipment choice. You took it personally that he didn't like your audio comment and made a smart comment about him winning Daytona and how nobody cared. Then said he must think he knows more about audio than anybody else on the post. Why wasn't his comment just as valuable as yours? He can't question your opinion? I'd suggest a thicker skin or some research on how to interact civilly during an open exchange of ideas on a forum. By the way, I can put you in touch with the guy who won 3rd at Daytona and let him tell you what he thinks about J&M if that is important to you. My buddies and I have a little saying. "Friends, don't let friends, buy J&M" (unless it's an amp tray). I'm glad you found something that works for you because in the end that's really all that matters but geez lighten up brother.
Sounds like ya'll can dish it out but ya'll can't take it.
I was giving the OP an option when your buddy bashed on me. He could of kept my reply out of his comment.

Can you quote the cost as I did in my post.

decision should factor cost/benefit as well as ease of install.


Thanks, Mike

cool- that adds perspective- my suggestion was sub-$300 speakers, rings and amp.

( I am a cheapskate and look for deals- often at the expense of time and a heightened level of difficulty)


luckily posts from other riders sent me to the infinity speakers which are very good on their own- adding an amp gives more headroom at speed.

I won't beat you up over it or state the obvious. It's your money, your bike, and if your happy with it that's all that matters.

Actually, I think the OP is a Troll.
