Hog Tunes all the way, speakers, amp, and tweeter pod. Best bang for the buck, or at least it works well for me.

www.hogtunes.com plus members get a discount too.

Have J & M's right now. When they were new, sounded great but now they're distorting pretty bad. Thinking about Hog Tunes......

I had Hogtunes. They came out. I went with the 6.5 Arc from Firecapt. That was the best choice. Sound great.
