HogTunes Vaquero speaker

Talked to Pez today... nice guy... should have replacement front speakers this week..Looks like they will fit the Vaqueros and Voyagers.. looks like their will be a forum discount... will let ya know when I hear more but I will be getting a set for sure...
He said we have a really good radio its just the speakers that sux.. These he will have are direct replacement.. And he said sound and volume are better.. He also might have a amp kit in the near future that will work with these speakers... So i'm going to order a set and see...maybe later a amp,,but according to Pez with these speakers I may never want to order that amp

Thanks
Crab

I would hope they sound better, or what's the point of replacing them? It figures that the speakers are probably the weak link in the whole system.

No offense... but the size of the magnet doesn't count like it used to.

Some speakers have smaller, rare-earth magnet components combined with superior coiling and speaker material to produce a far better quality sound than some with larger magnets.

But... having said that... I know what you mean when it is obvious the thing is a piece or crap!

That's right Greg, keep telling yourself that "size doesn't matter", if it makes you feel better.

pricing update....

From HogTunes,,,,Pez....
Speakers are now in and shipping. The speakers are $109.95 plus shipping. We will offer the KW forum guys a deal of $100 delivered, and we will give one of our 90 degree audio cables used to plug an external audio device into the aux in on the front of the radio—another $14.95 value
...or he said $95 shipped with out adapter...


We do not have the website up on line yet, but if the forum members call us and say they are a forum member, we will do that deal for them
got mine ordered,,,

We have a aux jack on the front of radio? Mine is in storage offsite, but I don't think I have that, unless referring to something similar to the Kaw plug in the left glove box...

Hmm, I haven't looked real close but thought radios were the same. Everything else in the dash is I think other than colors

Hello, I received a pair of Hogtune speakers from the dealer I bought my bike from they were given to them by the distributor as a raffle prize. The dealer gave them to me since I just bought the bike. I installed them and they were not even close to being as good as the stock speakers. Maybe I just got a bad set. Either way now I have an extra set I can't use.
