I think this has been well documented the past month or two,
without any sort of poll...... just read-up on the threads available and do the homework.

Why not do a poll on the most recommended instead of sounding like a nasty little bitch?

Because I read the posts here and made an informed decision on my own, and you already have the other part down pat.

I'm with Beemervet on this one. Starting a poll with the sole purpose to trash a company is puny. Ask what's good and why, rather than open up for a bitch session. There are enough haters on here as is.

The poll is meaningless. You do not know how many of each brand have been tried so you don't know the rate of satisfaction. Just from reading the threads J&M have apparently been tried more than any other brand so if even a small percentage end up unhappy the number will appear larger than the rest.

I was satisfied with Hog Tunes with a Hog Tunes amp for $350 until I installed J&M 7.25s without amp in the SG for $225. The performance and output are nearly the same yet the J&M Speakers without amp is $125 less. I would not go with Hog Tunes again after that. Now if I had Boom or something else installed and I felt it was better bang for the buck I might not go J&M, but I don't know that so how could my vote be of any help to anyone? I have no experience with any of the others. People shopping for speakers will be helped by the many other threads that exist more than this poll.

It seems there is always someone who has to say something about doing a search. Sometimes it is just quciker to start your own thread vs reading through many threads.

I have Hawg Wired and I am very happy with them.
