Anyone serious about audio? Not happy AT ALL with j&m, what do I do?

Agreed man Bose is way over hyped and if your using Bose as a reference for good sound I don't need your advice no offense I would say for the money they are ok at best as long as you don't listen to them louder than maybe 10 watts at a time they use paper cones which are ancient technology actually like 100 years or so.But sadly with good marketing you can always fool the wannabes.Just like those who but sporsters they don't know jack. Again no offense just my opinion.

I'd agree with what you say about high fidelity. I'm not a big earbud guy on a bike, just my preference. I do like listening through my speakers but I know there are diminishing returns due to environmental noise so I spend just enough to be enjoyable to me. I've got $275 in an amp, $100 in speakers, $25 in adapter rings and $10 in dynamat. The sound is good to me. Somebody else may not like it. I'm not going to win any parking lot contests. But AC/DC sounded good to me at 70 coming in to work this morning. Also plus one on real bass without a sub, it aint happening.

I second your comment about comparing to an auto environment, as like Hypurr said very well I don't think it is possible to realize true bass response from a batwing fairing regardless of amp power or speaker size. It's just a lousy open environment, almost as bad as tying the bare speakers to the handlebars. I've also thought about the earbud concept, but I don't like wires and trials reveal that the buds become dislodged from my ears easily and are impossible to replace while riding. I keep looking for a good internal-speaker solution for my 3/4 helmet, preferably one sourced by Bluetooth. I could then use my phone as the source, which has hundreds of MP3's stored on it.
