Long story short - can't hear them at all above 80mph. I wear full face....

However, when I move volume up or down a bit the speakers do sound better just for a moment - then it's back to normal.

Bad install ?
Is your system all factory except for the new speakers? Did you get the 2 ohm or the 4 ohm J&M's?
