Good sound. in accessories

This system was easy to install and initially sounded great. One day it just wouldn't turn on, tried to use the warranty and they didn't respond at all. He only worked two and a half months. I took the unit to my local stereo store to see if they could fix it. When it was taken apart the board was completely smoky and unusable. So now I have speakers that are useless. This was my second Boss system to let me down, the other was the handset and the wired controls died, again the warranty was…

  • Nice touch
Cons
  • Not bad, but...

Excellent value for money and quality.

Installed these on my bike. Installation was incredibly easy. Install your speakers, find a good power adapter plug in the snap-in connectors, and pair them with your Bluetooth device. It was really easy. If you buy these, you understand that you will never get very good bass from such small speakers. If you can live with that, these are very good speakers with enormous power. I had no hearing problems driving at 75+ mph. The sound is clean and clear. Pairing with your phone is easy. I didn't…

Pros
  • High marks for support and durability from testers
Cons
  • Some flaws

Have had these for a while now and have bought them for other bikes, very noisy, lots of people giving it a star and people not know how to connect them, connect your negative to the battery, your positive to the headlights, find a wire, break it and tie it to it, if you cut your bike, they just cut the loud horn. What if you turn the volume up really loud so they're off when you park your bike, which you should do anyway, if you buy warranty on them and they go bad they just tell you to…

Pros
  • Great price
Cons
  • Update available

Great sound in the wheelchair!

*UPDATE 09/10/19*This speaker system is far better than the best investment I've ever made in my wheelchair. Six months of regular use in the rain, mud and mud and they still play my music loud and clear as ever. After long use I can say that I am sincerely satisfied. Also, they seem to have relatively low power consumption since the 12V power supply I use has a capacity of 8300mAh and works with LED strips (purple lights on video) and speakers that play Bluetooth audio at a fairly high volume…

  • GOLS Certified

It was pretty pathetic to put together. 2) volume.

Judging by the reviews I had high hopes for these speakers. There are several issues with the product. 1) I had to set a quick disconnect for the volume control, that's how my bike is set up. The wire is so thin it takes a surgeon to solder it. It's probably 32AWG if I had to guess. It was pretty pathetic to put together. 2) The volume control is actually backwards. Turn counterclockwise to increase the volume. With? 3) When you turn on the bike, a very unpleasant beep comes out of the…

  • Few competitors

  • Very expensive

Better than alternatives

When I first hooked up this system I thought the mids and highs sounded pretty decent, but the bass was almost non-existent. For comparison, I bought 3-inch LX-S3 waterproof speakers. WOW, how good does this BOSS system sound in comparison! I've heard that before. After listening to the LX-S3 and then playing the same song on the Boss system, I was much happier with the Bosch. The sound is much richer, more correct and the bass is not too weak for such a small speaker (so I bought an additional

Pros
  • Lots of positive vibes
Cons
  • A few minor things

Good unit. good strength The mounts leave a lot to be desired.

When I opened the box I was very impressed with the value for money. It can't be a 600 watt amp. RMS 60-70 at best. At the same time, the device is still very noisy. You don't have to turn the volume up to the max. I currently have this unit installed on a 2014 Softail. I drive with a windshield so I installed the amp and all the cables in a windshield bag. I attached the volume knob to the top of the windshield bag and started digging through some old guitar parts for a larger volume knob. The

Pros
  • Absolutely amazing!
Cons
  • Fits

From a skeptic. Best Speaker

Received it today and hooked it up to my Harley Road King. So I gave 4 stars but because I couldn't figure out how to put 0.5 to get 3.5 stars. In any case, like almost all small speaker systems, I was skeptical about them. Pros: LOUD. To be honest it's nice and noisy. The quality isn't like that of a car radio, but it's good. They are behind the windshield and I can hear clearly at 70 plus. Quality for such a price is without a doubt good. The mounting hardware is decent and the cable…

Pros
  • Hands Free
Cons
  • Okay for the most part, but...

My speakers have been installed for about 300 miles or so and I am very impressed with the sound! I installed all 4 speakers on the engine protection, I didn't want anything on the steering wheel for aesthetic reasons and I personally think it looks great. I ride with a helmet covering my face and when I'm going at about 75mph I hear music, but barely, but when I'm cruising around town, oh, it draws attention. I read a lot of reviews and saw people talking about it not having an on/off switch…

Pros
  • Good product for the price
Cons
  • Thin
