Speakers?? Hawg wired or Hog tunes?
« on: April 09, 2011, 09:57:46 AM »
I know that this topic has been beaten around on many occasions, but I blew on of my front speakers and need to replace them.  I do have the Hawg Wired 60 watt amp, but anyone with thoughts is appreciated.

I have the plug n play amp from hawg wired also.  I blue out a pair of their matching speakers as well.  I went over to Best Buy and found Polk Audio 51/4" marine grade speakers that were rated app 75 watts and they were 4 ohm which you really need.  They cost only 75.00 and they sound great.   Loud and very clear.  Give em a try.   I wouldn't go back to the HW after using these.

Good suggestion on the Polk audio.  Marine speakers are waterproff & will work.

If you want something a little larger than stock heard these 6.5 speakers By Fosgate - Punch - & they sounded GREAT!  Need an adpapter to make them fit.  Call them for info if you are interested.

Less $$ than Hogwired or Hogtunes.

After hearing some other speakers out there, I really think the HW are over rated.  Jmho.   ::)

Thanks for the advise, as far as I'm concerned, the HW speakers never really did it for me.  I'll look into your suggestions.

For what it's worth... I have the complete 8 speaker HogTunes set-up on my bike and love it!

Sound is amazing, and Pez (the owner of HogTunes) is a super guy to deal with.

Real great value for the money!  :2vrolijk_21:

I'm looking (online at least at the Polk Audio MM 5251).  I'll have to take a closer look but has anyone installed these yet??

OK fellas,
    I've done a little more online BS, It looks like the Polk set get's my vote.  With ave. impedance at 2.7, eff @92db and a size the will fit in the batwing, I think that I have to give them a shot.  Any thoughts???  I always value the input from this forum as it has in the past saved me lots of $$$ when trying something new (usually at the expense of others {sorry and thanks}). Help is appreciated.

Something else to consider, with the RG you can go to a regular marine 6.5" with Yaffe's adapters (39.95). They also make an adapter for the batwing for use with Punch slim line speakers or maybe with the Polk 651s with a 2.00" mounting depth. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=320679446846&hlp=false&rvr_id=224074886641&crlp=1_263602_304652&UA=WXI7&GUID=4a027b3212e0a0b2af92f482ffe553f7&itemid=320679446846&ff4=263602_304652.

you will love those Polk speakers...   I think the polk model # you mentioned is a kit that includes an amp..  You won't need their amp if you have the Haw Wired amp..  Just get the 4ohm speakers..  you will be good to go..  I had to make wire connections for them,   the terminals off the speakers were smaller than the stock ones..

cvostu,
    You're correct.  I'm sure I can just buy the speakers by themselves.  Thanks for the input.


Lou, Thanks for the advice.....but you can sure as hell bet when I get them, You and Terry are coming to help install them (and work on a few steaks!!!! Shots........beers  :orange:  )
