Default Yes another audio thread.

I don't know about ohm's, or inline speakers. What I do know is that I want to be able to hear my music at crusing speed. I purchased a set of Hog Tunes with an amp, that didn't quit do it so I purchased J&M 7.25 speakers installed them using the HT amp, still not quit right.
Do I need a different amp, or scrape the whole thing and start over?
I know it will sound different at highway speeds compared to the drive way.
I plan on using a XM radio with the stock head unit.
Currently the front speakers aren't working as the connection from the radio is bad, back ones work. I am going to send it to Iron Cross to get it fixed. Or should I save the $250 and go with an after market head unit.

Thanks..

There are much better options in the auto audio aftermarket than bike specific stuff.

Ive got the Rokkers and Rockford Fosgate PBR 2 channel amp in the Road Glide. The thing I noticed was the sound kept improving, almost like they had to break in or something. I am very happy with the sound and it is loud. Give it a little more time but the biggest factor is a good quality recording. I burn mp3's slow and at a high bitrate. I feel bad because I love the sound so much I rarely take the FXR anymore.
