I'm having a hard adjusting the speakers. Sometimes to much bass it seems and they distort a little and then I'm constaintly moving the trebble also.
I was heart broke though when I heard my buddies Biketronics system he put in his 06 ElectraGlide Standard, that thing sounds awesome. It sounds as good as a system in your home would. The bass was deep and clear as was the music and the voice came through loud and clear, and this had bass.
So now I don't know what to do, I guess I'll be buying speakers and a amp.

 

I'm really happy with mine. Well worth the cost. I only play music from an iPod. So that makes it better and more controllable.

What did his set up cost compared to your set of speakers. You can't expect 150.00 speakers to compete with a 600.00 system.

 

He paid around $469 for the whole setup I beleive. Thats with a radio, speakers and a booster. The booster may be where is getting all his sound though.
Here's the deal though, I'll agree there a little louder but the quality in sound is the same for me.

 

Sounds like you got a better deal. He paid 300 more to sound a little better. For that money it better sound a lot better.

 

I just got the Boom speakers and the amp. I am really happy with the sound.

 

Does the amp give it a good bass boost that doesn't distort?

 

With the factory head unit, it will distort , no matter what amp and speaker you use.

Unless you want to spend big $$$$, you will have distortion, with those components.

 

Remember. You'll never get a car quality sound. There's only so much you can do. I will add an amp in the future but that's just because I want an amp. Not cause I need one. Playing all my music through my iPod allows me to have more control and the sound on mine kicks ***. My buddy's that have stereos hate mine because if they get near me they can hear mine over theirs. Bang forbthe Buck they're right where they need to be. Add the amp.

 

No distortion on mine. And I play it pretty loud. Loud enough to bug other riders.

Its a motorcycle. It will have limitations.

 

I replaced my stock speakers with a 4 ohm speaker a year back, wasn't happy with the 4 to 2 ohm. I got the boom speakers and have been happy with them. They are pretty good for a bike, I hear my stereo over by Bub 7s, I am happy.
