Hey all. I searched but found only info regarding previous generation bikes. I got the Honda Amp and speaker upgrades installed and the speakers still sound somewhat crappy. Anyone have speaker replacements you can recommend for the 2018-21 bike front and back?

May look into the J&M setup. He’s a forum vendor and they’re stuff is good quality. Pretty expensive though. I’m considering having the front and rear speaker and amp kit installed. Few folks had it done from what I’ve read so do a search and read more about the likes and dislikes.

Good luck

Thank you. I'll look at J&M. The Honda Amp kit DID improve things, but still not to my standard. When I put the bass boost on I have to reduce the volume by 40% so I don't blow the rear speakrs.
I think you’d like the J&M but I dunno if you’ll like the price tag. Especially after already upgrading to the Honda upgraded kit. If you go with the J&M, report back and lemme know how you like it. It’s probably gonna be my next high dollar upgrade

I have tinnitus so my hearing stinks anyway but I've come to feel the stock system is acceptable. I've found the quality of the sound has a lot to do with the quality of the recording - some songs just weren't mixed well while others sound brilliant. I very rarely use the AM/FM on the bike - most of the time I'm using downloaded music or Amazon Prime via bluetooth and it sounds great. I'm not a big fan of the low location of the rear speakers but, as cheap as the front speakers look - they sound pretty good - especially loud and at speed. My two cents. Side note - and keep your comments to yourself - I don't wear a helmet.

I can give you my perspective, as I have the complete J&M system and my friend has the upgraded speakers and Honda amp. The J&M speakers are considerable louder and clearer with the J&M amp vs complete Honda system….no comparison. Now I have not heard the Honda speaker with a J&M amp to compare.
