Gonna give these a shot. Speakers are mounted to Q-R H-D windshield. Amp in fork bag. Now I just need to hot wire to battery, came with a adapter for the back of the amp that goes to the battery with + & - u-clips the + side having a 5 amp in-line fuse. Was gonna put the + side to the + screw on the battery and the - to the neg post under the battery at what I believe is the frame. Any ideas ( Remember, I am by no means a wrench and could not even play 1 on TV ).........WVleo

aquired speakers here http://www.gooddeals18.com/product/SHKC ... emote.htm

Really intrested with your review after your ride. I've been riding with an Ipod with ear phones. Have Vance Hinnes Staggers which are pretty loud. Also looked at the reviews on the site and one review said the chrome was painted chrome. Was considering black. Would be pleased with some feed-back.

Thanks, Kimbo

Hi, Worked out good until 70mph then washed out . I now have the speakers placed at the lowest bolt on the windshield and believe if I move them up a bolt it would place them that much closer to me. Will try tommorow. Not real sure about the chrome being painted on ? but for $70ttd looks like chrome to Me. For just cruising around town it was just as if I had the ear buds in ( I had to remind Myself I wasn't wearing them it sounded that good ) . Amp does seem to get warm in the fork bag ! The remote is connected to My handlebars by a makeshift mount I put together. Later.....WVleo
