Default I put these handlebar speakers on my Road King

Hey guys, I wanted to share these speakers I put on my handle bars, there 5.25 inch speakers. The speakers sound really good, of course they need some more bass, but there coming out with a subwolfer next month.

The amp is a joke but since I saw someone else who paid 20 bucks on ebay for one, I'll start looking for a real amp soon.

It comes with a jack and I just plugged in my Ipod shuffle, and press play.

I'll put up pictures later.

why do you say the amp is a joke? just not very powerful? i want to put a small amp in my rhino and just use an ipod/sirius. the cheap amps at checker and wal mart are too big to fit where i want. i don't need a lot of power, just a small amp. is it really that bad. i mean, my hd stereo/cassette player on my '02 electraglide is loud enough for me. is it worse than that? i have no intention of running a sub.

Great looking set up Joe! May have to hit you up for a set for the Uly (and maybe the FXD too if I don't sell it). Love riding both those bikes but on longer rides I really miss the tunes I have on the SG. Is it possible to put them in this bag:

Chopped 7 - the amp is supposed to be 500 watts, but nowhere does it say that except the web site? makes you wonder? Sound is clear and loud, but needs bass, waiting for that sub probably going to add it to the bags.

It is in a headlight housing and that is the reason I went with the 5 1/4 " it's larger to support more sound, going to go back on the computer to add more bass to the Ipod recording.

I'll see what I can do about a picture.
