Default J&M Rokker system plus Tweeter pods?

Installed the J&M Rokker 2 channel amp and the Rokker speakers on the RG last month. I am looking for a little more clarity and sound, I am debating installing the HAWG WIRED, (I think thats what they are called) tweeter pods, the ones that replace the gauges on the dash.

Anyone tried this combo? Do you stereo experts think this would be a worthwhile improvement?

thanks

The tweeter pod helps some, but it does not replace any gauges, it fits on the dash over the gauges. I don't know about clarity but it will direct the high tones, which is voice more directly at you so you can hear them better.

Try to get a used one because the cost of a tweeter pod plus the cost of your new speakers = you should have gotten better speakers to begin with.

The tweeter pod definitely helps on the highway. I'd call Hogtunes to make sure the impedance matches up to the J&M amp

Yokel,,,,,,

you can hook the hog-tunes tweeter pod direct to the outputs of the J&M amp, as they go to the speakers, using the Y adapters that Hog Tunes supplies with their kit ,,,,,,

BTW ,,, I have now tested about every single speaker offered for the Harley Baggers, (((and of course I like the J&M ROKKERs))), but I have not found even ONE brand of speaker that will outperform the ROKKERs on the highway ,,,,,

did you get a J&M demo disk with your ROKKER speaker kit ? ,,,,,,

Thanks for the reply John. I did not get one of those discs, and I would be interested in viewing one. I am very inexperienced in the audio arena. I have a RG custom and I am just looking for a little more sound and clarity, do you have any suggestions?

thanks in advance!
