JRK, is the sound level w/ mph using a iPod touch/nano or a shuffle. In your video you are using a shuffle. If I can get good sound using a shuffle that would be freakin awsome! I use a shuffle with the cycle sounds now back and forth to work and with ear buds on the higway trips. Like the idea of it I loose it or break it I'm only out $50 bucks. Was using a ipod classic but it started freezing up. Bumps i guess.

cknight, look forward to your review.

The sound quality from a nano to a 60GB touch is the same. It has nothing to do with the Ipod, but with the volume and amp.

At least, that is what I have been told before by tech guys.

Still, when I plug my Ipod touch into the car and then my wife's shuffle, there is no difference in quality.

The difference is with the ability to have an eq or listening modes. The shuffle doesn't have that ability. I should have been more specific. On a car/house stereo with bass and trebble settings you probably won't be able to tell the difference. But when it just an amp and speakers with no head unit you can or at least I can on the cycle sounds system. BTW the best setting I found with the classic iPod was the piano setting if I remember right. With the shuffle I get all highs when i have to crank it up some. Any deeper tones go away to include the voices, pretty much all lead guitar if its rock at that point. If the bag speakers keep a nice lower tone in them even with a shuffle at higher volumes and I can hear the music and lyrics that is a win! Hell if I need to I'll buy a 4th or 5th gen nano off of craigs list.

well guys, i just bought this bag stereo from Joe less than a month ago. i absolutely love this thing, it rocks! but...i'll be trading my Super Glide in for a Road Glide (picking it up first of next week), and this stereo bag wont be used. i hate to see such an awesome stereo just laying around, so i'm offering it up for sale here... its a 500w system with Polk audio speakers inside. i got it off Joe for $300, i've used it literally 4 times. i'd like to get $280 shipped to the lower 48 for it.

EDIT: and its sold pending funds now

Ok, I think I am convinced and this is the way I am going to go. I need some tunes and don't like having to wear my earbuds. Now I just need to convince the wife!

Default Attached to bars

I would love to see a close-up photo, maybe multi-angles, of the bag installed on a dyna. Doesn't the bar obstruct the speaker holes in the bag? Do they vibrate against the bar? So the front of the bag faces frorward and the back with the speaker holes faces the rider....correct?

the bar does not obstruct it at all bud, back of the bag is punched out to allow sound to come though. it is all secure, so no vibrations bud
