Here is the answer to all your questions. This is a review of both the Boom and the Rokker speakers by a professional.

This is why I bought mine. I am still happy with the decision!

Here is a link from another post:
https://www.hdforums.com/forum/touri...-products.html

I bought the MPAK 4 kit for my bike and it rocks. I believe the J&M amp is a re-badged ARC amp. I found that out when researching which set up to buy for myself. I am sure you'll love the upgrade, regardless of what you get.

There is a member here, Wayne, AKA "Firecap" who is a wealth of knowledge and dealer (I think?).

Good luck and enjoy your new tunes.

Rockford fosgate amp and speakers. Can only turn it 1/4 the way up and it hurts my ears running 90 on the big road. Pm me and i can give you all my prices and the best place to get it. J&M overpriced

I have my Jm 500 4ch amp hooked up. put in Polk Audio marine grade 6.4" components in the fairing and Polk's 6x9 3 way in the saddlebag lids. The amp will put out 125 watts per channel, and the speakers are rated for 125 continuous. I'll tell you, it's clean sound, I can crank it and wow, it's pretty awesome.

I'm happy with the JM amp. It comes with a bracket that bolts right in, and all the wiring, plugs and adapters you need to just hook it up. There's a lot of value in that.

Thanks JM. So far so good.
