I just installed my new BOOM Speakers (no amp). Wow. What a difference. When at highway speeds I could barely hear the OEM speakers and had to listen close just to figure out what song I was listening to.

Now - Not a problem. Bass down and treble up really kicks in those tweeters and the sound is clear and easy to hear.

On my last bike I spent about $600 on a "system" and these sound just as good at half the price and no holes drilled into my inner fairing.

Recommended upgrade.

 

Yep! I was very pleasantly surprised at how the Boom speakers perform!

 

I've got Booms! front and rear plus the Bass Booster port kit. It's a BIG improvement over the factory setup.

 

Ken - how difficult was it to install the bass booster kit? Does it make a noticeable improvement?

 

Good to hear they work well and you are happy> I am getting the speakers installed before I take delivery as I knew the stock ones are no good. thanks for the review

 

I just bought a set today and installed on my 07 EGC. Wasn't sure whether to go with J&M or Boom...Decided on Boom and they sound better than expected.

 

I went from stock to Hogtunes to Boom speakers. Hogtunes was noticeable over stock, but Boom was way better over Hogtunes. Best bang for buck mod Ive done to bike so far.

 

Pastor John, piece of cake, as long as your not afraid to take a hole saw to your tourpak, where the speaker pods connect, took an hour being meticulous, definately a big bump on the bass.

 

Installation was pretty easy but scary...you have to drill two 2" holes in your tourpack...just make sure you have a sharp hole saw. It took about an hour.

As far as the sound...I can't really say I hear a big increase in bass when riding down the road. There's too much competition from the Rineharts. There's definitely an increase when sitting in a parking lot. I think the biggest value of the Bass Booster port kit is that it allows the speakers to "breathe". Those pods are really small and make lousy speaker enclosures. I think it allows the rear speakers to reach higher volume without distorting because the speaker cones can really move.

Opening the tour pack is kinda like opening the trunk on a car with rear speakers...you can really hear the sound coming through those ports and you can feel the air displacement.

If there were no other advantages, the ports really look cool.

 

Yup, just put a pair in my EGC. I like 'em.
