Has anyone here installed the Boom Audio speakers? Have you been happy with the final product?

I'm curious about that as well. Thinking about this system for my scoot.

 

Did it about two months ago. Not bad improvement over stock. Still glad I did it due to increased clarity even at lower volumes.

 

Wll I have no speakers... they would be the only ones. So they sound pretty clear at an upper volume?

 

Yes and, yes.

 

I installed that setup on my girlfriend's Sportster. I was amazed at the output and clarity of the tunes. We connected a small MP3 player to the setup so she can change songs when she wants and to take the unit off the bike at night when we're on trips.

The right control's for the unit are very well thought out and easily accessible with one finger. For a bike without music, this is a quick and decent way to get tunes.

I have the windshield speaker on my Fatboy Lo and the handlebar speakers on the wife's Sportster. They sound pretty decent at speeds up to 65-70 mph. Songs with mega bass don't do to well, you'll want to set the bass lower on your mp3 player. Also a good MP3 player will help boost the sound. I tried a little cheapo sandisk player and it's output was very low and did not drive the amp very well. Ipod touch and I phone works great as well as any Cowon MP3 player.

Not the best photos.

Had them on my RK... got rid of them for a set of cycle sounds series 3. Boom was ok however had low output and one speaker would cut out all the time when turned up. Moved to the cycle sounds cured the problem, so there are much better aftermarket options for around the same price that I think would do you better.

 

Thanks for all the input. Gonna check out the Cycle sounds and compare.

 

Motorcycle audio systems are poor at best. I have yet to hear one that was even adequate. Part of the issue is the physicality and acoustics of the motorcycle itself. The other is that most owners aren't audiophiles.
