2014's come stock with 6.5" speakers in the fairing.

 

Well Not Exactly..... They come with a 6.5" hole but the speaker itself is still 5" with a big flange on it to fill the space.

May want to check out the audio section...

 

FYI -I upgraded to the Boom 6.5" speakers only; NOT the amp. Result was terrible. Although the P&A book doesn't say that you need an amp with the upgraded speakers - you really do. I have not heard the upgraded speakers with the Boom amp but for their price there is better equipment to be had. So if you are planning on changing speakers only, the HD Boom speaker upgrade is not the way to go. I changed back to my stock 5.25" speakers and the stock system is pretty decent. I am waiting a bit to change anything to see what the aftermarket offers.

 

You are entitled to your opinion but when you say "people who don't know about true sounds usually make the mistake of buying J&M audio" you are sounding presumptuous and arrogant. How the heck do you have any idea whether or not I know true quality sounds. The J&M amp was a big win for me, quality sound, quality mounting plate and quality people to deal with. The end result was very good sound quality that I can hear and any speed I ride at. I could go on and on but I have a feeling you are not the kind of guy who is really going to listen to my experience.

 

J&Ms latest video on the ROKKER XX speakers and amps for the 2014 Harleys is here ,,,,

I had just the opposite experience. I think the 6.5 Boom upgrade speakers, no amp, were a noticeable improvement. Just my 2 cents.

 

John/JM. Is it ok to use the automatic volume control specifically on the 2014 with the J&M amp?

 

Sam ,,,,,,

yes ,, not a problem with the AVC ,,,,,,

ALL J&M ROKKER XTP programmable DSP amps will work perfectly with the Harley AVC (Auto volume control) for Harley model years 2006-2014 ,,,,,

Musicians know music and true fidelity, I'm not saying that I am a professional musician but I do play music and I know one thing that J&M is ok for those that don't know about true music, it a well marketed brand, just like Boom Audio is, however, each ear is independent to each other. Meaning that your opinions may vary from mine, etc. However, if you do your homework, you will find out that J&M audio products suck, they produce loud music but not PURE music. Upgrade to Focal speakers, Focal tweeters, nice solid amp or biketronic speakers which are real good for the asking price, Rockfords, etc. I prefer Focal, Biketronics speakers. I "USED" to have a "J&M" and a "Boom Audio" system on my touring bikes, they are just loud music which distort and hurt your ear after extended listening times. I'm a purist, I only listen to tube audio equipment, I don't buy my audio from Best Buy, or any brick and mortar store. Most of my audio equipment is either handmade or made in Germany, Italy, France and of course America. Not trying to sound arrogant, etc but I'm just sharing my own personal opinion and what I know about music, not just a high marketed brand that seems to win people's attn by all the noise that they make, at the end its just loud noise and not true music...
