Your matching 2 Ohm speakers with a 4 Ohm head unit. That's why it sounds like crap.
Are you trying to say that the amp is not compatible with a 4ohm radio ??? I think you're gonna lose this argument.

I might, and there may be a setting that can fix this. I think I mentioned that in a subsequent post. I don't know.

You are allowed. We all know what you have done, and it's spectacular, but he did say that "all he wants to do is hear the music as he goes down the road", and "Im not expecting concert hall performance or $5000 audio investment results". The HK unit is fully capable of giving him that is it not?

SE,

If he just wants to hear the music going down the road,......he already went overboard by adding the amp.

The HK head unit is very able to afford him that. I just don't agree that the HK is even in the same ballpark as some after market head units.

If he has an aftermarket head unit, an amp, & upgraded speakers,................I'm guessing that something isn't hooked up , wired up, or adjusted quite correctly.

His set-up should be WAY more than sufficient to "hear the music as he goes down the road".

No harm, .......no foul !!

It's all good !!!

Well hopefully John will help him trouble shoot it, and he doesn't have to sink a crap-ton of coin into solving his problem (like some others have I think). I'm just trying to give the guy some ideas.

We are good!

I've got an 09 RG. About to pull the plug on the J&M rokker 7.25's and amp. I'm not going to change the deck. Anyone got a better plan with specifics as to why? Not looking for the cheapest, just want more volume, clarity and plug and play.....

Well this just sucks.

I got the old school 7.25 speakers in front, the 5.25 rears, and the 250 watt amp that I installed a few months ago, now I find out that there's an all new "improved" system. Everyone said that this was the best setup ever, now there's something new.

John, no offense, but I gotta tell you I feel a little cheated.

Are they really worth that much or the price jacked up because they go on Harley? These vendors are getting out of control.
