Somebody asked me to post a reveiw when I finally upgraded my speakers. sorry I forget who it was... but here it is: My factory speakers quit comepletely the night before I was to leave for Houston... I'm 40 miles from any Circuit City, Best Buy, WalMart... So Fri morning (leaving day).. I head down to Belfast (7 miles) to see what I can score for new speakers.. Cuz I don't want to ride 2000 miles with no tunes. Belfast has Autozone, VIP Autoparts, and a Odd Lot.. Strike out at Odd Lot and VIP.. Thought I struck out at Autozone but spotted a pair of speakers by the door on the Bargain Table... Pyle PLRL42 4" 140 Watt Electroplated Red Cone Two-Way Speakers for $7.00 marked down from $30.00 .. Went home and installed them.. had to ream out a couple of holes cuz the big magnets hit the speedo housing. DO NOT BUY THESE!!!! http://12.41.28.254/pyle/PLRL42.jpg These Pyles worked great... for about 4 days.. 2 days for the ride to Houston and 2 days while I was there.. pulled the fairing apart to check out the speakers and found the little wire that runs frome the speaker cone to the little connector board had a loose connection on the back of the board.. If I messed with the connector tabs I could get it to work.. They shoulda named these Pyles of sh*t... I hooked the wires directly to the cone wires and put it back together.. they worked... most of the time. Fast Forward 5 weeks .. Lancaster, PA visiting the folks.. Pyles not working at all by now.. They quit before I headed north. Tried soldering the back of the connector board... No dice looked online .. found these: http://www.circuitcity.com/IMAGE/product/detail/plk/EC.PLK.DB401.CN.JPG Polk 4" Coaxial Loudspeaker (db401) PLK DB401 • 4” speaker • 2-way design • 135W peak power • Marine certified I paid $80.00 for 2... Circuit City has them for $60.00 now with the 2nd pair for 1/2 price... These speakers sound great and are much better made than the Pyles.. I highly reccommend them.. Now I need to get 2 more for the back.. the magnets are small so I think they'll fit.
