This can easily be done you will need a small amp which will make the speakers sound much better.first you will need a mini jack to stereo rca adapter for the ipod hookup and a stereo rca volume control for the input to the amp and your all set just run the vol on the ipod full and control it with the stereo volume piece feel free to ask any questions

I have a Garmin Zumo 660, with abuilt in MP3 I have close to 1,000 songs. I'm using the Kuryakin speakers with the self contained amp. It sounds pretty good. I can hear it on the highway with no problem. Set up was super easy.

The J&M speakers for the softails are great. I would get them but I don't want all that clutter on my bars.

What amp are you using. The ipod will do 500 millivolts into 8 ohms. The titans need a speaker output which is in volts.

You will need a small power amp to take the ipod to volts instead of millivolts. Or just get this.

Pyle 2-channel Waterproof MP3/ iPod Power Amplifier #PLMRP1MA. $60 at overstock.com

Asked my buddy about his set-up so I can pass it on. Here's what he said...
(BTW, he doesn't have a fairing. He's running spkrs in his saddle bags and on his engine guard)

OK but he has to buy me a 12 pack.

It’s an Alpine PDX 4.150. it’s a 600 watt amp, low current amp, that wont mess with your electrical system, it puts out what it says, 4channell, 150watts per channel. Don’t buy hawg wired, hot tunes, or arc audio, they are over priced and don’t deliver.

SPEAKERS- I have Polk Audio 6x9 marine certified, make sure you get marine certified speakers. I am pushing 4-6x9 and 2-6.5 speakers

I met a guy who had the Pyle amp yesterday with some super tiny speakers. Sounded pretty good. I am waiting on an email back from J&M about their JMAS-2008's. We'll see happens. Probably nothing for now.
