• 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.

system Pics or video

Could you post pics and video of what it sounds like ?
:lecturef_smilie::lecturef_smilie::lecturef_smilie::lecturef_smilie::lecturef_smilie: I HAVE!
I have the three Powersports amps from kicker.
PX 50.2BT running two JL Marine Tweeters and Blue Tooth purposes.
PX 300.4 running four JL Marine speakers
PX 500.1 running a Kicker 8" sub.
AND I DONT CARE WHAT PEOPLE SAY OR THINK AS I RIDE WHAT I PAID FOR.
 
Marine

The speakers are JL Marine Speakers. The amps are Kicker Powersports. The enclosures can be found under boating/wakeboard.

Where did you get the speakers / Enclosures ? Are they all custom ? Under $1500 ? I don't want the sub since the F3's trunk is so small
 
SUB IN FRUNK

I HAVE GIVI SADDLEBAGS SO THE SUB IN THE FRUNK DIDN'T DIDNT MATTER TO ME. AND WHEN I TRAVEL LIGHT, I THROW THINGS IN A LITTLE BAG AND TUCK IN UNDER THE WINDSCREEN.

While its true the speaker is the actual item that creates the sound, it has nothing to do with how loud the music comes out. When you turn the volume up or down, that is the role of the amplifier. The amplifier takes the original signal and increases the amplitude so it sounds louder than the original input.

The amplifier and speaker are both important but in an application like our Spyders, clean sound at relatively high volume levels is key. Keeping the sound clean and distortion free at high volume is what the amp does. I would choose a system with average speakers and a quality amp over a system with a mediocre amp and superior speakers. Of course ideally we'd want both great speakers and a great amp, but most people's budget is limited.



with over 20 years in car audio as an installer. I quit a few years ago due to it got expensive I had access to ALL the toys, and I am getting older. That above is 100% correct. I would rather spend the extra on the amp vs the speakers. Don't get me wrong I blew money on all sorts of crap all of it was the upper end. SoCal Spdyer I am sure you know those feels!

Kicker has been known to be a work horse and with everything I have done to their amps/speakers/ subwoofers. I have No doubt in my mind these little guys are more than worth every penny.
 
Nothing sounds more obnoxious than some one Ryding a motorcycle with their music blaring away as they Ryde down the street. Invest in a good com system and listen to YOUR music and enjoy! Nobody else wants to listen to your music!:banghead:



LIES! You all want to listen to my music... queue Rhinestone cowboy! JK JK JK I am being a smart a$$ please don't :bdh:

This is an interesting theory.....and if I understand what you are saying .....The MEDIOCRE sound of the OEM speakers in all RT's are because of the AMP, and if the AMP was better the sound would be better ........Well my RT sounds fantastic and I have the OEM AMP.....but not the OEM speakers, I swapped them for JBL GTO528, 2 OHM models.........So I have a different theory...........Mike :bbq:

windshield

WHAT WORKS FROM SOME MAY NOT WORK FOR OTHERS. MY BYKE. MY LYKES!

I have been thinking of blacking out my Blue ridge windshield. You have yours painted, correct? I think I will just spray plastic dip on the inside of mine to see if I like it. I don't look through it but not sure if I will like it blacked out and not sure if the cops will mess with me if it is. I have blue tooth helmet speakers. I like them but I am also thinking of adding a small kicker system to mine also. I have always been a fan of kicker.
 
PAINTED

The windshield is painted on both sides. I look over it so there is no problem for me. I live in NJ and have passed a few LEOs and they have not stopped me as of yet.

I really like my Shark Audio SHKC6800. I would like to see a comparison the 6800 is a 1000 wat system with 4 nice speakers I am having trouble finding a Kicker system that compares in the price range of under $150 :dontknow::chat: jtpollock.
maybe some photos of the kicker installation on the Spyder.
