• There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

    Finished the LED and Sound mods to the Spyder

    Hi Recluse, I have them free aired for now ( although I would like to put a box behind them somehow)The sound would have more punch if I can get an enclosure behind them. They are powered on a second DWG amp. That amp has a 3 position bandpass switch. I have the fenders set to allow midrange...

    Zoso, the tuner is built-in to my Zune. I chose the Zune, as it had a radio and storage for MP3.

    Want Sound on your Spyder? Heres how!

    CZ, If you hook the speakers to one DWG you will halve the power output and change the impedance. The speakers will work, but the amp may blow after a period of time. Now when you are riding, you will not experience the same overall listening experience as earplug headsets, As to the other...

    Hi CZ, You Can hear the DWGs but the sound is very "Treble". Hoestly I split off and use earplug style earphones as well when riding.. They cut wind noise and give me sound as well. I just dont turn it up to loud so I can hear surrounding sound. (I.E. emergency vehicles)

    Make sure those speakers for the fenders are 401s (4") the 6" are too big for the fenders. I had to Bridge the output on the Blaupunkt amp to drive it, so, no you would need another amp. So in total I have: 2 3.5 in DWG Waterproof Motocycle speakers w/Amp 1 Additional DWG Amp 2 Polk...

    Want Sound on your Spyder? Heres how!

    Honestly, I didnt measure the amp draw. We left it running during the BRP Superbowl owners event for an hour, and the bike sarted right up. No rideability issues either while running. Now, If you get a different amp, all of that would most likely change. They are the biggest voltage hogs.

    Actually, If you look under the front, there is actually a skid plate under the tub. So the Sub is protected from things inadvertently popping up into the sub. That was one of the reasons I was able to move forward with the idea. As for the housingson the black speakers, thats the way they come...

    Neon, I haven't put one in yet, but its a "Radio Shack" visit from doing so. I think I will pick up a dual-throw switch from one of the marine shops around town.

    For the XBox Gamers- Halo 3 and Spyder Halloween

    Being that my son was born on Halloween, I have to do it up big. This year, Halo 3 was the dress up. The Spyder was the perfect accessory to the bit since the games' ATV looks very similar to the Spyder.
