yeah it ain't no joke. LOL. They actually do listen to crap music and then switch it over to something "badass" when they get to where everyone is hanging out. I can't count the number of times I have run into this.

It goes from "Girls just wanna have fun" to Anthrax with the push of a button.

No Beiber or Spears on my play lists. I may have an occasional Eminem or some old school rap like Naughty by Nature. Tons of rock and roll and a bunch of other mismatch shit from old classic rock.

Was Beiber even out back then? I don't even remember when that little pansy even hit the charts.

That Caveman guy is an amatuer at posting pics... but it will do. LOL Some of the pic titles were a bit off, and he didn't put up a few pics, but I'm sure you guys don't care.

He also didn't add that, the job was 12 hours of working on that bike. I had a Dr appt in the middle and was gone for 2hours so combined that is 22 man hours. The stereo mods were a big big chunk.

The zip tie wiring wasn't going to fly on those lower subs. You only see the wire at this point on one side (right). The left side is hidden behind the clutch cable. It's what I prefer to say... they have it instructed for the dumbasses. I can't leave it at that, I'm way too nuerotic about things.

not quite. his stereo is no match for mine.

I have done a few things the same however you are kind of limited on the some as they are certain items that are both functional and somewhat good looking. I have always been a function over form kind of guy but if the functional item also looks cool, well then, Duh, Winning.

So THAT is what I was doing wrong...

Nice work & the signals look good.

Just an 'IMO' commentary though: I kinda

at stereo systems on bikes (open-air loudspeakers, that is). I mean, if the point is to be able to listen to music while you're riding, don't quality earbuds do a MUCH better job of delivering decent sound-quality while cutting wind/road-noise? I'm sure they (open speakers) sound decent at low-speeds and behind a full fairing, but there still has to be a ton more noise than with isolating earphones. On the other hand, if the purpose is to let everyone else around you hear what you're listening to, well....

I will never wear ear buds and listen to music...but I could get down with a stereo like the Harley has.

Well, in most states including Michigan, wearing earphones while riding a bike is illegal as you are probably going to be unable to hear sirens around you. However, I guess I could have my stereo turned up so loud that I wouldn't be able to hear sirens near me as well. But, at least I am not breaking the law.

And lately I have only been really jammin it loud enough for everyone around me to hear just to spite the neighbors because I think its funny. I fully intend to keep the extra loud jammin exclusively on the highway where I want to drown out the wind noise with some noise of my own.
