Default I can hear my speakers finally.

I went to Bike Week in Daytona last weekend and I went by the J and M booth. Of course they had their display and after listening to several bikes, I plopped down the bucks for the 7.25" speakers and told them if I wasn't satisfied I would bing them back.

I won't be taking them back. I originally went to Cartronics and purchased a two channel 70 watt per channel amp and for less than $100.00. It was an impovement but didn't get the job down. Second, I purched the Hogtune speakers and honestly speaking, at low volume they sound quality is pretty good, but I couldn't hear them at speed and at high sound volume they distort.

Now, I can hear my radio. I am not trying to start an audio war but just stating the facts.

Thanks J and M

So, what amp are you using to drive the J&M speakers?
