I believe the easiest way would be to add headsets or headphones to the helmet, even earbuds, and then plug them into your choice of portable device like an iPod. You could do this without any mods to your Spyder and would likely be far less expensive than trying to add speakers to your Spyder. For longer trips, you might add a power source to the Spyder to allow you to use your device without having to rely on batteries.

If you want external speakers, your're looking at some mods that may be expensive. I have seen some, but they may have been custom built. Don't recall if someone has a speaker kit for the GS/RS, biut there may be.

He's a fellow Spyder ryder here local to me in the Cincinnati area & he, like you, has a GS/RS Spyder & he just recently added a stereo & speakers like your asking about. I'm sure if you PM him, he'd be more than happy to give you some advice from his personal experiences.
