I have control of volume at the amplifier speaker and at the sender. So keep hydrated. Bought these to replace my husband?s old and terribly beat up pair. It was a perfect plan that worked great until it stopped working. Built well. After finding others had experienced the same problem, & posted their trials, I was able to complete the install w/ minimal fuss. (The bag had a little water and dirt residue on top from the road, car and rain but everything inside remained completely dry. The only thing keeping this from being perfect is the dip handle fitting. Pero una excelente compra. Honestly I don?t think there is a better pair for the money, they could easily be priced at $200 and be well worth it.
