Default ipod driven sound system

Hello All,

I am new here, so I apologize if I am in the wrong place here posting. I have a 2005 Softail that I have put hard bags and a tour pac on. I wish to add the luxury of an Ipod driven sound system to my tour pac. I was told by people at Biketronics and Hog tunes this could be done. I have drilled the holes in my newly painted tour pak and mounted the rather pricey hd speaker pods in preparation for my new purchases from said vendors. I go to order the Titan amp and 5.25" speakers and get told the Ipod will not have sufficient power to drive the speakers. Now what? I now have a tour pac with empty speaker pods and no tunes. I really don't want to go the expense of an after market fairing. Can anyone suggest a solution that will work and sound great. This is what I have set up, I have installed the HD 12 volt cigarette lighter assembly and purchased a usb filtered power adapter from Best Buy. I have routed the wires from my battery to tour pac in preperation for amp and purchased the Hog tunes 5.25" speakers. Speakers look to have rca connector inputs. I have held off on the titan amp purchase until I can verify this can be done

Many Thanks,
Porkpie

U'll probably get a better response posting this in the general chat area..
this new member area is viewed by far less members.

I don't/won't have a radio on the bikes so sorry I don't know anything bout them.


Welcome to the Forum and safe riding.
