I bought J&M speakers and they're great. I've never listened to Hogtunes.

That's like asking which oil is best, it's a matter of opinion. I went with the J&M for no particular reason other than the positive reviews I read about their speakers,and mostly because ofthe looks of the Road Glide speakers. I like the separate tweeter in the grill look. I know not much help for you but it's all I got. [&:]

I went with HogTunes and LOVE them.They are especially great at high volumes when scooting down the road. Pezstands behind his product and you'll even get a personal thank you when you order them. He also recently purchased an HK unit so he an do testing against the latest firmware.

They are the only way to go in my book.

do a search for J&M, then do one for Hogtunes, read 'em all. then after all that is done make your decision. i personally went with J&M because they're a dealer here on HDF. and i'd heard a lot of good things about them on here. but i don't know how the Hogtunes are because i've never heard them, but i know how much difference that the J&M's were over stock. so before anybody flames you for asking this beatin down question, just do a search and you'll find all the info you need.

later,

wanna

which MbQuart speakers and amp are you using?
I am wanting a much better sound than my 07 ultra gives. I will admit it is better than most supply on other bike manufators. Just want a little more volume without turning it too much. I like to stay 50% max
