Default speakers

Has anyone tryed any pioneer speakers. I got a set from walmart because they were relatively cheap 37 bucks and imho they sound pretty darn good. I upgrades to the biketronics setup so I needed at least 4 ohm speakers. I was going to do the hog tunes but unless i read it wrong they r 2 ohm. Either way it sound WAY better than it did and now i can hook up my idad and play mp3 cds

I was going to go with the hogtunes but I guess I guess I read it wrong. I wonder what the sound difference is. I have the sony stereo from biketronics and with the sony stereo they ones I got sound really good.&nbsp\\; 4 speakers for 81 bucks ain't bad

I bought a set of Infinity 5022i and I am not impressed with them at all. While I was installing them it looked like the rubber suround of the speaker was getting compressed between the speaker and speaker grill, which will limit the cone movement.

hey elim. I only found one set of the pioneers at walmart but I went to best buy and they did a pricematch. They are 50 a set there. They r ts-g1342r's. IMHO you can't beat em for the price. I can't wait for biketronics to send me the piece to make the back ones work. ( they forgot to send it and sent me an extra antenna hookup by accident). I don't know the comparison to the hogtunes but the back ones fit without a problem

I replaced my speakers with pioneers 2 years ago. They are much better than stock. They have held up to the weather pretty good. I got mine at best buy for 50 bucks.

6.5" JBL marine speakers in glove boxes, 4" JBL's in the fairing. Sony/biketronics kit sounds awesome! I would post a pic, but this site won't let me...

I changed my stock speakers to C&amp\\;M which I bought at the HD Shop for $100, they have tweeters and a different grill than stock. I really like the sound.
