J&M 7.25 Speaker Review

[ShaeDee]

i'm curious how a side by side against HT setup with and without amp would compare.. i have the HT with amp and not really satisfied...
is the BASS really that much better to the 6.5" ?

Don't see many testers with amps. Why weren't people with amps and even the HT tweeter pods selected for testing?

thats a good?? i asked to test maybe they cant take alot of power for a long time?? dont know just thinking

I'll test, I have hogtunes and the hogpods with the HT amp.... and I agree, not super satisfied with these, I mean they sound nice, and the hogpods add a huge amount of sound, but I would like more bass.....

Just my .02

It was offered to the first few people that responded to OP. That was the only criteria.

Well, after saying this and seeing all the great reviews, not to mention Shawn gives great deals, I just ordered a set. He even threw in a fatboy tee-shirt for me. You know, the wife always shrinks them so I have to get them bigger than normal

Anybody else using them with a stock system (no amp)?

I am running them with no amp & stock radio. It is a huge improvement over the stock speakers. I probably will be adding an amp in the future. This is my first bike with a stereo so I can't really compare them to anything else except the stock speakers.

What kind of amp is everyone using and where are you putting it.

While I was hunting up here in BC Canada, our R&D guys connected the Arc mini amp to the 2 ohm versions of the new J&M 7.25" speakers ,,,, and ran them at wide open volume for 11 hours, 7 different nights (77 hours total), without a failure of any kind for the amp or the speakers ,,,

when the test was over, the speakers were compared to a brand new set of J&M's and there was no difference in sound between them ,,,,

RMS and max wattage specs can both be deceiving and car speaker manufacturers have been using these specs for many, many years as a marketing ploy ,,,,,

"IF" you have an amp that puts out TRUE RMS power, with low distortion, you can use one as high as 100 watts, per individual channel, with the new J&M 7.25" speakers without problems ,,,,,

but remember ,, a low powered amp that has alot of distortion will destroy a speaker voice coil much faster than a really high powered amp with low distortion ,,,,,,
