    My new stereo project

    The material was wearing heavily on on of the back speakers, so I decided to upgrade.

    I did a little research and came up with these. The fronts are now 7.5" rather than 5.25".

    Ordered: 1 Shipped: 1 JMHCUS7252GTMB 7.25” Fairing Speaker Upgrade w/Black Grill-Tweeter/Mid 06-10 Harley Street/Ultra/ElectraGlide 7.25" Fairing Speaker Upgrade w/ Black Grill-Tweeter $229.99
    Ordered: 1 Shipped: 1 JMHCUR5252GTMB 5.25” Rear Speaker Upgrade w/Black Grill-Tweeter/Mid 06-10 Harley Ultra 5.25" Rear Speaker Upgrade w/ Black Grill-Tweeter $157.99

    from here.

    Even adds an acoustical baffle (piece of foam) to the inside of the fairing.

    I have the ARC 125.2 amp with their 6.5 speakers on the say for my 02 Ultra. I did a LOT of research before making up my mind and talked to a lot of riders that have used all types of equipment over a period of about 4 months. I have to agree J&M is over priced for what you get. I have heard both the J&M 7.5 and the ARC 6.5 and like the ARC better. Mid and high range is more crisp.

    Sounds like I should have done more research. I can always add the amp. It has to be an improvement over the stock.

    I haven't ridden enough yet to know how much improvement it will be. I have a 30 mile each way Crawfish boil run planned for Saturday. That should be a good test. I also liked it came with it's own cover. Hopefully the 7.5"ers will be worth the cost. I figured I would only do it once and that site had a fairly good discount off list. I can always add the amp later if needed.
