I know that this has been dicussed to death. My quesion is, it seems that the Hog Tunes replacement speakers can be had cheaper that the J & M speakers, is there a benefit of the J&M over the Hog Tunes? I want to change out my stock Street Glide speakers.

it's just a Users preference, some like HogTunes and some like J&M but everybody says the same thing! There Better Then Stock
P.S
if you buy HogTunes Get the AMP also .02

I like my Hog Tunes (way better than stock as mentioned before!) I haven't tried the J&M ones though, so I can't really say which is better. It really depends on the individual person.

I went with PolkAudio db521 with a small Pyle amp (both marine rated). Awesome!

I went with the J&M s on my Road Glide. Great speakers with strong clear sound at highway speed. Cheaper than Hog tunes and no amp to mount.

I went with the HAWG WIRED system probably the most expensive set up but certainly the BEST sound and quality. I believe in the point that you get what you pay for!
