Did you relocate the volt gauge or leave it off?

 

I just installed some Biketronics-Hertz 6½" speakers after exhaustive research and considering those on your list and many others, and I can say that they measure up to expectations and I'm very happy. I also have a 125W (@ 2Ω) Elf amp, which helps get the sound out, so I can't speculate on how they would sound with only the stock head unit.

 

I did Audison 6.5's in the dash and jl 6x9's in the bags! didn't do the bags yet, but the Audisons are THE TRUTH!

 

Make that '06 !!! The HK upgrade started in 2006...

 

i am running 4 6.5 hertz , 2 6x9 subs , 4 amps and the hk head unit . the hertz are great and the stock radio works just fine,2010 rg

 

What do you mean? I have a J&M 250 watt amp and I can only go so loud before I get distortion. If not the loudness then what is causing it?

 

Mismatched components or maladjusted settings most likely the cause of your distortion.

I am currently driving the J&M Rokker 7.25" speakers off the front channels of an Arc KS125.4, same basic amp as J&M. I cam crank it full blast and there is no perceived distortion. I am running a JVC KD-AVX77 head unit. If you are using the stock head unit the internal amp will begin to clip at about 80% volume. So adjust your gains to work at 80% volume on the stock head unit. It'll sound much better. Never turn the factory head unit past 80% it's a pier of shyte and why I dropped $500 to replace it.


I am going to add the new Kuryakyn / Kicker 6x9 lids shortly. Hopefully I will get to hear them at Sturgis in a couple of weeks.

 

Substandard components within your system.

 

Any reason why you don't have J&M Rokkers on your list? I am very happy with mine. I am driving them with the Bazooka 200.4 amp and I could not be more pleased with the result....

 

BTW ,,, we will be releasing a new ROKKER II video next week, (just in time for Sturgis) which shows the J&M 2011 RoadGlide Ultra with a beautiful 6-speaker, 500w audio system, ((7.25" in the fairing, 7.25" in the lowers & 5.25" ROKKERS in the rear pods)) ,,,,

it is THE most impressive audio system I have heard to date on a Harley (or ANY motorcycle) ,,,,,,, it is very intense, good bass, good mids and crystal clear highs ,,,, http://www.jmcorp.com/SeeProducts.asp?PF=45 ,,,

the system is so impressive that were are going to have an audio system performance contest at the J&M trailer, parked at Black Hills HD in Rapid City, during the Sturgis rally ,,,,

anyone can bring their bike to the trailer during business hours, we will use the identical J&M demo CD for the test and evaluation by any customers that are around ,,,,

if any system performs better (in the majority opinion of the bystanders) than J&M's ROKKER II, we will give them a $100 credit toward the purchase of any J&M audio product ,,,,
