A little speaker poll!
The time has come that i would like to change out my factory RG speakers and i have read all the speaker posts on here and there are a TON! Anyway i have a baby on the way and cant afford the ARC system which i would love so i guess i will settle to change out the factory speakers and my dilema is between the J&m and Hog tunes. So i decided to enlist the help of eveyone here by way of a poll!
So what say you ??

Best sound for the money is Hogtunes. Don't get the amp, just the front speakers if the money is an issue and it will improve the sound a great deal. That's what I'm running in my SG and I'm happy the way it is. Do a search and find the Hogtunes HD Forums discount page to save you a little coin.

I just put J&Ms in and they sound great, couldnt fairly compare to hogtunes though since I have not heard them in person. The J&M are about 20 bucks more, hogtunes on ebay for 90 bucks, J&Ms are 109 retail. I got them because I got a deal, but am very happy with them.

Installed J&M
Last weekend I installed a set of the J&M with the tweeter and mid in the grill in my FLHX.Very easy install and a perfect fit all the way around.
I have the bike inside for the winter so I listened to 3 of my favorite cd's with a good
range of highs and lows on the songs before and after the install.
They do sound somewhat better but not $110.00 better and i thnk they are a little
muddy or not clean. I can play at a higher volume with less distortion but it lacks
bass reponse big time. Normally I get more bass out of that size speaker although
I know it is not a sub woofer and I did not add and acoustic material to the batwing. I actually think a had more bass on the stock ones but better mid range for certain on the J&M.
I was ordering the Hog Tunes but my dealer insisted that I would be happier with the
J&M.But I have not tried them with the motor running on the road which may make more of a difference.
I will admit I am fussy on my speakers and have invested alot of $ on my car and home systems. So maybe I need to give the FireCap a call and add an AMP. I am also considering adding the vented lowers and putting two more speakers down there as well.
