Is something wrong with my J&M speakers?

[Old Ryder]

I cannot believe this is considered an upgrade! They have a "tin can" sound. Max volume is not as loud as the stock speakers. These have got to be defective----right?????

That's not good. Did you talk with anyone at J&M about it?
Also, make sure the radio is not set to Rap or Country.

[Old Ryder]

Called them. They said to send them in to take a look. Just making sure my expectations aren't too high. Pain in the butt.

Old Ryder--I wouldn't say my J&M upgrade sounds worse than OEM but I was disappointed in the improvement (if any). That's why I'm still considering something better. Not sure yet what that will be.

"J&M" "Upgrade"

is an Oxymoron.

Go with the Polk's on the Smokeyjoe audio thread...

Just select your tunes on the flush drive and turn knob to the right :

This is what it sounds like when you order the American version of the authentic J&M speakers and not the cheap foreign rip offs.

Because if you get the knock-off they'll only sound good if you play the high treble music of:

I am starting to sense that there may not be anything wrong with the speakers. It has a ton of treble and a hollow/metal twang built into every song. It really needs to be able to get a lot of attention while playing this

I'm pretty happy with the Polk MM series and the added amplifier. Compared to stock, well there is no comparison.:icon_cool: Now, hopefully the sub I ordered arrives today. When I was sampling some music with the new speakers, they could be clearly heard across the street. Keep in mind, I was in the garage and had my insulated garage door shut .:icon_biggrin:

After Sending in the speakers I got an email yesterday that they were indeed found to be defective and J&M are replacing them.

I received one bad speaker from J&M when I did the upgrade to my F6B's sound system, which they replaced as soon as I contacted them and sent back the bad one. I'll say the J&M speakers are NOT louder then OEM but sure are more clear in their sound quality and worth the $ if just a speaker upgrade is all you want. IMO.

So how do you know you're getting the real deal? What size are these anyway? Did you bump up the amp or is it all stock?

[bigdew]

I went through a 3rd party to order my J&M speakers. When I received them one of the speakers was bad. I had great customer service in the ordeal, but went through 2 sets of speakers till I got a set that worked as they should. I think it was a bad batch but I am happy with the upgrade so far.

If it's too loud, then you're too old. I remember that from my teenage years. They still can't get it too loud, but that may well be because now i can't hear it! The thing I hate most about the B is the lack of cruise control----- makes it hard to play air guitar

[Old Ryder]

Got the speakers back yesterday and installed last night. MUCH BETTER!!!!! However, if I had it to do over, I am not sure they are that much better than the OEM. From what I have been told and read, these were suppose to be the cat's pajamas. They are better--- but not by much. JMHO.
