I have for Hogtune speakers installed. They've been rained on, washed......Still sound awesome.

 

Ya know TexA$$, everytime I see anyone typeany thing remotelynegativeabout J&M, you always seem to jump right in and get all righteous like it's something personal to you. I second Glyders comments above,as I too have bought and disliked the J&M's when compared to the JBL's, but we've already hashed that one out haven't we? Besides, that's our opinion, and being forum members who have paid our money to form our own opinions earns us that entitlement. Have you bought JBL's and/or others to earn you the right, ordo you just jump up and down on the J&M wagon cause you favor them?

As far as Waterproof and Water Resistant goes, they are virtually one and the same. I have sprayed both my J&M and JBL speakers through the fairing in the car wash (hi pressure) at least 20x since I installed them and not a single harmonic issue with either as a direct result of water. Spray the rear carrier with enough water and you'll likely kill any waterproof claims from any manufacturer. Water willfinda way in around the rear coil where ferous materials and porous surfaces exist, but as far as speaker technologies go, any Polycarbonate, Graphite, Kevlar, Aluminum, Titanium, Ceramic speakercone is waterproof/ water resistant from the coating process they go through today. The ways of the old paper speakers are long gone when it comes to modern technology. This is why somecompanies will hook one up to a couple speaker leads, spray thefront with water, and make claim to being "waterproof" (it's all marketing & gimmicks). The honest ones will say to keep them away from direct water just to avoid claims from the redneck that goes and submerses one before making a waranty claim. Just spray the rear of the speaker while it's playing and you'll likely see another result.Having a rubber surround will further impregnate the cone aganst water damage from the front and that pretty much sums it all up for H2o qualities in speakers.

As for qualities and sound versus what each person hears, everyone has an opinion and that's what makes us all unique. Maybe next time, you should lighten up and allow a person the right to their opinion. After all, he's bought both, and he is entitled to his informed opinion in this "public forum".You seem to take to the speaker threads but I have not actually seen anything intelligent from you on the subject so what gives with you?Perhaps you really are ignorant to the whole subject and this is why you act as you do.Perhapsyou should go back tothe post ABC's of speakers and re-read itagain so you pick upmore of the useful information within that post.You might just learn something you failed to understand the first time. You mustof been anAspencade rider somewhere in your past.

 

Wahl Glideman, it's like this - go back an' reread what ah've posted as well - because one thing ah have no issue with is someone who honestly says "I prefer X over Y" fer a personal reason, or 'cuz they're a cool color. It's when they take any opportunity to slam someone - particularly a sponsor - that yeah, ah git mah dander up. If you'll look, ah've told others that ah've never had the Hogtunes, but have heard others say they were quite pleased with 'em. Guess a lot of it has to do with the 'tude, eh?

 

I have these speakers and I am very impressed and happy with them.

 

Dang this is better than the wife's soaps.

 

I'll send you a PM and an email... reply back when you get the time. I'd like to buy a set in the US, as I am heading there on Thursday... there for the weekend, but won't have any access to a computer. Let me know.

Cheers!

 

Another question... if I am looking at buying a set of speakers (like JBL), then what size should I be looking for to fit the front speaker space on my 07 FLHTC?

 

Not the first time that texas turd sticks his fat *** finger in the pickle jar. He seems to think of this forum as his personal firing range when someone says something he does not like. Opinions are OK as long as they are his. Hey texasreddick, Nobody cares what you think so keep up the good work and WOTI misses you so go home.

 

I have the J&M speakers, fit great, sound great and they are waterproof!
