Rumble Roads Ultras

Has anyone tried the Rumble Road Ultra speakers that are amplified for your ipod or cd player? I am thinking about ordering a pair but wanted a review from someone.

thanks

I should have a review of the J&M Audio amplified speakers in a day or two. I ordered them with the intent of playing my IPOD through them. The J&M's are kinda pricey but I've heard good things about them. I guess I'll find out.

I use the set from motorcycletunes they are a bit cheaper than any I have seen and put out a fierce amount of sound. with any speakers that have the amp inside the speaker if one goes its no good with the ones I have I mounted the separate amp under the left side cover


for the price of the J&M I could have had 3 sets of the ones I have I am wondering how 40w will do the set I have is 100w per speaker at 90+ mph I can hear them with a full face on

I'm glad you're happy with what you have.

I did not mean to down them in any way I was just shocked at the price I am sure they will be great

No harm...No Foul.
Actually, I wish I had discussed this with someone prior to ordering a set. Am not familiar with the brand you have. Sounds like they are awesome. The J&M's are the only brand that I have heard in person (my brother had an un-amplified set on his Valkyrie) and they sound pretty good.

as long as you enjoy them its good enough for me after all they are better and safer than head phones now the question have you considered sat radio I have had it on every bike from day one and love it

Funny you should mention satellite radio....I have been thinking about that but have no knowledge of what I need or what's available. I would like to get something that can be used on the bike, car, and truck. Any suggestions ?
Thanks.

here is exactly what I did for the r3t I wanted to spend the least I could to get it on the bike. The first thing I did was add a lighter plug where the power socket can be fitted by the left side cover, that covers the power to the unit. after hooking up the amp I added a water proof switch on the down tube right beside the plug for the amp, I am not concerned about cutting off the player I just pull it off the dock to cut it off. I went ahead and got a cheap receiver they all come with a sticky mount that I mounted to the left hand side of the tank about mid way up now there will be 3 cables coming from the dock power, antenna and a inline volume control. the volume control is just a small cable that you can get at radio shack it has a little turn nob on it to adjust the volume. I went ahead and got a pack of sticky wire clamps and placed those on the tank to rout the cables as well as hold the volume knob where I could get to it with my left hand at the base of the tank . I tucked all the extra cables under the left side cover and ran the antenna under the seat strap you may have to play around with the antenna a bit to get it good. the only other thing you will need to take it between the truck and bike is another car kit and thats it.

Thanks. I hope to receive my speakers today via UPS. I already have my IPOD mounted on the handlebars. I'm headed to the city this Saturday and hope to shop for a sattelite receiver then.
