2020 CVO LTD...is there such a possibility of upgrading the stock stage 1 speakers for much improved sound quality with out breaking the bank ? i feel the stock boom system is mediocre at best for sound quality
Ah, this subject is like your mortgage, it come up once a month. Lol.
Did lots of research before I chose J&M amp and speakers. Sound better? definitely, markedly better? Eh, not markedly, but better. Best part is I spent close to $1,000 on '16 CVO for stage II (RG came with stage I) and speakers blew (2X) in less than a year. HD install, all HD stage II equipment. Have had J&M for a year plus and no issues.
I would not recommend using the HD 2 ohm amp with 4 ohm speakers, sound is very less in this set up. No offense to mother HD, but they know little to nothing about audio components or technology, the entire car/bike audio world uses 4 OHM speakers. They stay with 2 OMH. SMH.
If you want to stay under $600, go with J&M speakers and amp. Both are plug and play on HD bikes. I no longer have a bike with tour pack, so I am saying this for 2 front speakers and amp, but rear speakers will add about $300.
Said this before, will say it again: ANY stereo at 80 MPH is going to sound...Eh. So you can spend $4,000 for a stereo to sound Eh at 80 MPH or $700 for a stereo to sound Eh at 80 MPH. If you are looking to sit on Main St or at bike night and play DJ, then there is the difference between the $4,000 and $700 stereo upgrade IMO.
