Motorcycle Tunes VS Cycle Sounds

We SMASH the competition, but people often want narrow their choices down and compare us side by side and see exactly how we measure us to them.  Motorcycle Tunes was founded in 1999, and Cycle Sounds was founded in 2001.
A quick lesson on wattage, watts is measured two ways, MAX (Peak) or RMS. Max watts aka Peak watts is the maximum wattage a system could potentially reach or handle. The real number to concern yourself with is the RMS wattage. The RMS wattage is what the system operates at constantly. The RMS Watts is really the only number you would want to use to compare something., when companies don't advertise their RMS wattage, then it is a safe bet to divide the max wattage by atleast 4 to determine the RMS watts.
We use 4" speakers and 200 RMS watts to each speaker, and they use 3" speakers with undisclosed RMS watts to each speaker.  Our speakers are larger and our amplifier is more powerful. Just going from a 3" speaker to a 4" speaker is a HUGE difference in itself.  When you buy from us, you save $100, you get Satisfaction Guarantee and a LIFETIME WARRANTY.
