Default Tunes worth hearing

I got a j&m windshield mount with radio but cassette player and speakers that mount on handlebars. Tried to move at swap meet but didn't. Pm me and we'll talk about it.Need to get rid of this works well over loud pipes. But i went with ipod and head set now.
Hope to hear from you.

I agree. 2-Wheel Tunes are a POS. Amp blew after 1 hour. They would not replace amp.

I bought Rumble Road Ultras. They work great for me a 80mph. I would not recommend getting any model less then the Ultras. They won't be loud enough (imo).

Pretty much narrowed it down to Rumble Roads or Uniq Cycle Classics.

I had a chance to compare the sound of Uniq Cycle's Low profile speaker, and Classic speakers side by side, and I will say that the low profiles are no match for the Classics.

My only issue now is whether or not I want the Rumble Road for the internal amps, or the Classics with the external amp.
I'm leaning towards the Rumble Roads at the moment.

Sorry if I missed it, but have you heard the Rumble Roads in comparison to the Uniq Cycle Classics?

Since you're leaning toward the self-amplified RRs, did you ever hear or compare the self amplified J&M speakers w/ volume control on the speaker, like LeoHD posted in post #6?

Those are a little more expensive I think, but to me look very integrated into the bars, compared to the way you'd have to mount the RRs, but I've not hear any of them to compare sound, so thought I'd ask.

Cycle Sounds bought 2-wheel tunes. Same product.

No I haven't been able to compare the Rumble Roads to the Classics. ...And it's driving me insane!!
I don't want to make a mistake.
I did hear the Low profile Uniq Cycle, and they made my ears bleed. Yuk!

I recall hearing the Rumbles on someone's bike, and they sounded nice...but again, unable to compare.

I may just order the new Ultra 200 watts Rumbles. More wattage than the old ones, so I assume they should sound OK.
