Even with the stock speakers the CD sounds much better than the FM. But I want to know how much difference there is between the stock speakers and the 7.5 speakers when just using a CD.

Really the best ear plugs are Howard Leight Max ear plugs. They're orange, soft, and have one of the highest db reduction ratings out there. Howard Leight also makes some yellow/pink ear plugs that are great, but I forgot what they're called.

I've spent years searching for the best ear plug. I've tried more brands than I care to remember. Even custom-made plugs I paid $100 for. The Howard Leight Max by far trump the others for sound reduction and comfort.

They're available on Amazon at a pretty good price.

for ear plugs look at surefire.
I use them on the range all the time. They are somewhat flesh colored as well so you don't have these funky flashes coming from your side profile. They have a little nib to plug in for more protection if you find you need it or leave it open for talking with people around you. Form fitted and about 10 bucks a set from some spots.

Has any have these new speakers with HOG tunes fairing lower / amp kit?

How do the speakers handle the amp?

Are they better than HOG tunes speakers in the upper?

Looking at upgrading my speakers and this might be the best way too go?

ANy suggestion would be helpful

Thanks
Bob

"Would you pay $279 plus S&H for these if you hadn't gotten them to demo?

Hey, if you go to Dr. Vtwin: www.drvtwin.com or call:818-501-TWIN(8946) and talk to Shawn.. he'll get you that set of speakers delivered to your door for $235.00. Great guy to talk to and has a plethora of knowledge on what is out there and what is coming soon!!

Those Sure fire earplugs are about the greatest thing out there, especially for the price. They are great for all day use and like SCOOBY DOO said... they have that little plug for extra protection. They fit right in the ear and you never notice them!! The new ones EP4's are out and they give a bit more protection as well for about $14/pair.
