J&M Speaker upgrade?

[kepople]

Anyone replaced the standard speakers with the J&M upgraded ones?

did you notice an improvement?

I am not looking for audiophile quality, but would like to hear the radio without distortion.

If you did the upgrade, did you have to completely pull the dash?

thanks

I did but think BigEars or better Bluetooth would have been money better spent

I upgraded with the J&M front and rear. I notice a louder and clearer sound compared to the stock. I did not remove the dash. I removed and put the new ones in from the speaker holes. :yes::yes:

i did polk audio front/rear big difference in sound..but i had my mech do mine he did not have to pull the dash apart to do it so that saved me in labor time.

Which Polks did you go with? They make several lines of 5.25" speakers.

I just installed these in the RT. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=331032427907


In my case I don't care at all about weatherproof. My bike stays in a garage. If I am out on the road and i see rain I usually stop. And even if you did want to run in the rain its not going to bother these speakers. It would have to be sitting in pouring rain for it to affect them.

I installed the J&M rear speakers on the wife's 2010 RTS. They work very well.

dont know i got the rears off ebay and the fronts from crutchfield total cost 150 for all.

I faded to the rears and now the right rear sounds blown. What a mess. Pretty poor engineering on a 25k vehicle.

Any tips for me? I would like to upgrade over the stock speakers, which have a LOT of distortion at speed, even with the sound leveling turned off.

...................................I think " finless " did a video ( look in the DIY forum ) on how to do the RT that was excellent ................I don't have J & M...........I have JBL 2 OHM speakers 528 & 428 ( rear) .............Using my MP-3 if I turn volume ( on the RT ) to MAX , the speakers remain clear, crisp etc.....However they are TOO loud to listen to at that level.....I'm not kidding ..................People here heard them at Spyderquest and were amazed.....I only paid $ 100 for all 4, delivered ...............Mike :thumbup:
