Default Advice needed for intercom

Hi kids,

I am new to touring and have an 02 Ultra with a ka-set deck (you think by 02 they would have only had CD....). My wife constantly complains she can not hear the music and with it turned up I am blasted out. So I need to address this problem.

I guess it makes the most sense to make use of the intercom system on the bike, but I don't really care to have one for me at this point, and mostly ride 1/2 helmet.

There is no device on the bike that is bluetooth, and I can not see paying for this since there is a built in intercom.

1. What do you recommend?
2. Do I need to buy a pair at one time or can one be added later? Do they have to be the same?
3. I just bought this bike so I am out of money! Low cost is good.

Ideally I think something that would do the trick is just a basic set of speakers in her helmet for now but I am not sure if something like this can interface with the intercom.

Thanks in advance.

u can use a headset for her and shut off or turn on speakers for u,she should have her own volume control on the side of tour pack,theres a buttload of headsets on the market ,on a budget cruise classified or e bay for used stock headset from guys that don't use em or have upgraded.u should be able to make it fit even a half helment,i have.
