Anyone have any motorcycle speakers on their bike? I’ve been shopping around and can’t decide what to do. I’m looking for something that’s waterproof and audible at around 70mph (avg highway speed). Im thrown between Cycle Acoustics set, a similar more pricey set with less wattage from DWG or I found a set that’s around $400 from another site…. Cycle Acoustics is 150watt, as well is the latter, and the second is 100 watts. Can anyone tell me If the 50 watts is noticeable? Also what about the $400 system, any input on if it’s much louder? Better quality sound? Seems a waste of the extra money as I can pay $75 shipped for a set right now from Cycle Acoustics, $300 just seems a bit ridiculious but I just want to make sure I have some input before I make a move… Also if anyone has them, please post some photos if possible!

 

How about an ipod instead?

No offense meant at all here dude, but no one wants to hear your damn music except for you.

 

i wanna hear it. if he spends the 400 bucks on some speakers he can hear at 70mph then i can hear it too for 0. lol. I use an ipod cause its cheaper(its my daughters sshhhhh).

 

I have the helmet speakers and my daughters ipod as well shh

 

I ride with earplugs most of the time. After riding for 9 years even being 26 years old the wind noise bothers the crap out of you and you WILL Have hearing loss if you keep it up it's just a fact.

But I have some really nice sony earbuds that stay in while I ride that noise cancel out most of the wind and let me listen to tunes sometimes.

But I havent charged my Ipod in ... gosh 3 years? I need to find that thing :P

 

Bit the bullet and ordered the Cycle Acoustics ones, at $70 shipped I couldn't pass it up, found a dealership locally that stocked them for $175, couldn't listen to them on a bike obviously but non riding they were loud enough over the bikes started engine...

As far as earbuds, they are illegal where I live.

 

I have no problem w/ bikes having stereos BUT only for using them once they are parked & hanging out, like at bike-nights, etc.

As Rojer said, you *will* have hearing loss if you use these speakers to listen to music while riding in addition to the wind noise. You might not notice it now or next yr, but it will happen...you can count on it. Hear us now, believe us later.

 

Sorry to go a bit off topic, but how waterproof are these speakers? I'd love to throw a pair in my PWC for when parked or drifting and chilling.
