Adding Speakers For Cheap
Hello all-
Finally decided to join the forum after how many times I have used this site and your guys' knowledge and realized it would be nice to contribute something back.
I know what I am adding here has been done before and it is nothing new, but I couldn't find any threads on it (probably my crappy search skills) so here it is.
I have a 92 ultra classic one of the first things I did was remove the light bar and put in integrated/turn signal mirrors in my efforts to start "de-grandpa-tizing" the bike. When I did this, I also put in a new stereo and speakers but two speakers wasn't loud enough. The inner doesn't provide many options to put more speakers and what is the point of having a radio if you can't hear it? So I stumbled across an article of someone taking spotlights and wiring it up for a bike not equipped with a radio. After gutting the spotlights from the light bar, 4" speakers dropped right in, pulled speaker wire through, got some mesh and put it on the inside of the trim ring and put it all back together. Now some 1 1/4" clamps and they will be ready to mount. Not the cleanest but definitely one of the cheapest. I can't figure out how to attach pictures but pretty straightforward
