Yes, louder...but....
| If you don't care about real fidelity, yeah these are marginally "louder" than the stock OEMs. However, it comes at a price...a beaming upper midrange off that chrome dust cap that will part your hair at any raised volume. Any decent treble over 5k is buried in a sea of midrange. I had these in the fairing and the matching smaller model in the rear of my 2010 and both have the same problem. No tone adjustments could compensate. I finally traded these out for the 6.5 Polk DB652s in the front and the 4.5" show chrome coaxial in the rear. Night and day diff. Also, stuff the cavities behind all the speakers with polyfill pillow stuffing. Smoother sound and about 1/2 octave deeper bass. |

Nice upgrade
| I am an audiophile, so good audio is my forte. Although the original design of the speaker mount limits the speaker size, J&M's design to push the envelope is noticed in this upgrade. There is a little more base heard. Not much, but every little bit helps, and I'll take it. The sound is clean and no distortion heard when turned up to reasonable levels. One note however, if you pay attention to the polarity where the size of the lugs differ from the + /-, don't worry about it. I tested the speakers to see if there were in fact reverse and they are not.. The marking is wrong, but the connections are correct. At least in my case. I called J&M tech support to discuss and make them aware, and they are aware and told me the same and not to worry. If you really want to make sure, just take a 9 volt battery and test each speaker and place the Plus terminal of the battery to the small lug and the minus on the larger lug. The speaker should move up or down, but it should be the same for each speaker. If by chance they do not move in the same direction, then yes you have a speaker out of polarity. But they assured me that they test each one and that the lugs are wired correctly even though some might have the marking wrong. |

J&M speaker upgrade
| Installed these last week and was very disappointed. Not sure why JM Audio can't get the polarity right on the speaker lugs. After making the adapter wires needed to correctly hook them up, they sound fantastic. Definitely a 5 star rating if I didn't have to go through the trouble. If you have previously installed these or plan to, do yourself a favor and correct the polarity. I didn't want to cut my speaker wires so I made the correct adapter. |

Good but terminals are backwards
| The sound is good. The fitment is great on my 08 GL1800 but it drives me absolutely nuts that the positive and negative are swapped on the terminals. I read that someone asked J&M but they didnt have an answer. The speakers still sound good but I'll wonder if the can sound even better. |

| Just installed these on my 2006 Gold Wing. Perfect fit, nothing to modify.I think they sound better that the originals, at least in the garage as it's winter outside with temp of9°F it will be several months before I listen to them while riding |

Speakers sound incredible
| I recieved these speakers yesterday and installed them, WOW what a difference the mid range is and sounds deeper and I can volume up to 25 with no distortion at all, not that I would want it that loud. Its sound great and makes a huge difference in quality over stock. I strongly recommend these speakers. Tom So Cal |

JM Performance XT Fairing speakers
| Just installed these on my 2007 goldwing. Perfect fit. Nothing to change. Before I purchased I called JM and they assured me the speakers would fit without modification. They fit. I am not an audio file so I cannot say with assurance they are better than OEM, but they do sound good. At least as good as OEM. |

UPDATE - Performance XT Fairing Speakers Upgrade
| Here's how you put the speakers in a 2007 Goldwing. For some 2007 models there is a metal plate that the 4in speakers are in. Take out the speakers and all the screws around it. Then take out the 4 hex bolts. There is 1 top almost under the dash, 2 on the sides and 1 underneath. You have to take out the side pockets to do this one. Then put in the 5in speakers and wire up. VERY easy and put your dash cover back on. The speakers are great. Maybe someone should tell J & M about the different model years and they should have tested them on ALL the model years they say they work on. |

JM Performance XT Fairing Speakers Upgrade
| Bought these speakers for my 2007 Goldwing 1800. Guess what. THE DO NOT FIT. My stock speakers are 4in. these are 5in. There is a metal ring around the stock speakers so it only takes a 4in speaker. Did J & M test all bike years they say it works on. I DON'T THINK SO. They say they fit 2006-2017. What a bunch of bull. |

| Replaced stock speakers on my '15 F6B with these. Not a huge difference, but a noticeable one. Clearer with less distortion through the volume range. Sound quality is better and overall I would buy again. |
