Aerox Sound System

has anyone got any relatively easy ways to make a soundboard for the aerox seat ? like what would you need to get it all working, where the wires go etc ...?

i love my music and want some choons to play instead of sticking my phone in my helmet.. i keep losing phones lol...

cHeers people

 

Thats so dangerous listening to music while riding.

Fair enough if your driving a car becuase you have all that bodywork round you to protect you.

On a bike your far less visible and now you want to make yourself less aware of what going on round about you?

Madness!

As for the soundboard, what are you going to have that blaring away while riding??

 

im not saying im gonna go round full volume all the time, or even every day, sometimes i just got bored of riding in silence and kept dropping phones..

obviously not wanting a 1000w system, just a couple of 5 inch speakers and headunit.. or even just to play whilst im at a destination

 

erm its as dangerous as having a radio in your car mate, probably even less so. do you suggest he uses headphones instead lol?

a diy set up on a ped will hardly be louder than a car engine. if anything it will make you MORE noticable

one of those^, a fuse and a bit of wood is basically whats needed

 

cheers fella, thats cheap too.... 10w speakers not very powerful but its not exacty gonna be a bass bike lol..

 

remember tho a ped battery only holds likr 60-70W on a good day

 

would it make any difference if i got another 12v battery ,, would it last longer?

i wouldnt be playin music 24/7 lol.. only a couple hours a day..

 

No, a "soundboard" will just make him a source of annoyance for anyone hes within earshot of.

And I wouldn't recommend he listens to anything, phone or headphones or anything while riding.

You need full concentration if riding a bike to avoid accidents.

You need it in a car as well but the fact you're protected by 1000+kgs of bodyshell means when it all goes wrong you can get away with it. Also in car you don't have a speaker/headphone directly in your ear then a bloody big helmet over the top to muffle the outside world even more.

Put it this way if he had an accident and mowed a kid down do you think the cops will say "ah well, it was unavoidable" if they find hes listening to his "choons"?

Each to their own though!

 

erm i guess a 125 battery or something might help...you only really charge the battery at full throttle tho and i wouldnt be suprised if it still died every few days...there isnt much ' spare' electric power on peds as such and youll find you get dim lights ect

all fair points tbh.

you see goldwings/touring bikes ect that come with stereos as standard though, im pretty sure if they were actually useable on small peds (and wouldnt just get stolen) alot of them would come with them.

when youre on a noisy 2t you cant hear for shit anyway and there are plenty things more distracting than 20W of music coming from underneath you..in fact i reckon singing in your head is easily more distracting...

 

Surley its easier to just sing or rap or beatbox or whatever while your riding. Ive often been yelling system of a down songs at 100mph on my fzr 1000 and no one can hear you

 

yeah i just use one earphone personally, mostly just for some noise...i dunno about you lot but if i actually concentrate on what im listening to i easily end up dancing while riding and shit lol not ideal

 

just buy one of these much more simple

they're a bit more expensive too lol....

only wanted to spend about 20 /30 as iv got speakers and cables/wires just the music power source and battery side of things really id need

 

speedfight 3?

 

yeah forgot about that ^

 

i see where your coming from, its probably not the best option to go for..... might just get a decent set of earphones and an ipod.... seems a bit safer, i only use 1 earphone aswell so i can still hear everything thats going on around me...

 

Hey!
I've got a 'sound system' in my Aerox. Absolutely love it!!

It's an Alpine Headunit with iPod connectivity and 2 Type S Speakers. Sounds great and with me neon going to music looks pretty smart too! lol.

Only had to modify the standard radio loom slightly to run a switch so that I can turn off th power from the battery and thats it.

I'll get some better pics but as I've only got this one on me photo bucket which is abit dark.
Enjoy!

 

That looks pretty beast!! Optic Parts DF do a pre-made sound board for the Aerox. But it's another thing about buying it, as I'm not sure about where you can purchase it. If I find out I'll post it on here! =D

UPDATE*
Here's the link to Optics soundboard!
