Default J&M Speakers anyone?

These speakers look like they have no magnet. Or just a small one. I like that they are lite but how do they sound ?? I'm looking at the 7.25 in a roadglide

I've go a set on the way, 2nd hand from eBay. They are for my street glide. The previous owner claimed to have had them for 2 days and took them out. I hope they work better for me. I'll keep you posted. There is a forum member JMJOHN who I believe is maybe the proprietor over at J&M. I don't know a whole lot about audio, so even if I get them and I think they work great, that really might not mean much.

I have a set of the 7.25 s in the faring. Polk 6.5s in the lowers. Feed them with my Arc 500 watt amp. I like the way they sound. Sound is subjective. Even with all this, the audio from my helmet speakers is preferred for long hauls.

I have them in my Road Glide along with a Rockford Fosgate amp. Im happy with them. They are loud....I got a ticket to prove it. I had one crap out and they sent me replacements no questions asked. Makes a big difference to play a good quality recording.

I will be adding them along with an amp soon. Stock sucks at highway speed.

I have them in my fairing and Polk MM651s in my lowers, along with a 500 watt amp, and I think they sound good.

I have them, better than stock for sure. I didn't add an amp right away but I'm going to be doing that sooner rather than later.
