Hi everyone,

Yes, I know... another 1500 speaker install. Blaa blaa blaa. However, there has been a few questions on here lately on how to install and what to install for speakers. I thought I would show you what I did and the reasons why. I haven't seen anyone here take my approach so I thought I would toss in my 2 cents worth of free advice.

While rebuilding our bike over the winter this year I tore into everything including the fairing and wanted to get rid of the silly Honda "stuff" (being polite here) they call speakers. My speakers were completely wore out, the surrounds were completely gone (the rubber between the speaker cone and the metal basket (frame) of the speaker).

Next winter I am completely fabricating a mounting system and customizing a proper stereo system for this bike and digging a hole in the back yard and burying the old one. I dislike the Honda system so much I prefer to not even have it on unless I need to hear the news sometimes. It certainly is not worth the money that Honda got for them.

Anyhow, I came across a great deal on new set of Sony X-Plod speakers. They were regularly about $100 or so and they were on sale for $25 I think. The speakers are a Sony X-plod, rated at 35w RMS and a peak of 150w.
