right out of the box this thing has been a chore.
1) all 4 speakers come as one unit thus making hiding your wires impossible. I marked the wire locations on the plug and used a toothpick to pop the wires out and then extend them as needed.
2) at 1st the bluetooth was a cool option. however, it will connect willy nilly to what ever bluetooth device is around (might not be yours). you can either get away from other devices or punch your friends who have it turned on because its disrupting your jam. the 3.5mm route is my next best thing. However, even though you direct connect via 3.5 jack or left and right RCA the bluetooth remains on and will play both sources at the same time. the bluetooth never shuts off and makes an annoying "connection" sound even during direct connect playback.
3) bluetooth connection sound is far beyond annoying and at any volume pierces your ears. best to turn the thing all the way down every time.
4) the sound quality is good but even at max volume I can't hardly hear it, especially when im out riding with my possie. maybe its my positioning but it seems like others can hear my music better than i can.
i give it 2 3/8 stars. the idea is cool but is flawed, needs improvement.
at 1st i was recommending it to people, now im not so enthused about it.
with the help of some blue tooth apps on the phone this can be a nice item. "bluetooth connect and play" (free) to auto play and set volume on connecting a device. or "gps volume control" and manually press play but will adjust volume based on GPS speed to turn your stuff down when you come to a stop and up when you are going faster.

Reviewed in India on November 30, 2021
I only installed 2 speaker to check the Sound quality. Sounds great even at 120km/hr.
Not impressed with the speaker clamps. Had to use different rubber under the clamps. The ones provided were too thin and didn’t hold the speakers well. Kept vibrating and rolling downwards. The clamps could have been made much better. Odd shaped makes it difficult to mount the speakers just right.
The installation other than that was easy enough. If your not sure how to tap into the power best to have someone do it for you.
Will install the other speakers when I have some free time. Can’t wait.
