custom sound system

custom scooter sound system

here is a sound system i installed on my scooter (scroll down for pics). it actually gets quite loud, you can still hear it at a good 55-60mph. (quick guidance/inspiration from layne's bosshogg scooter) components Rockford Fosgate Punch FRC4203 3.5" Speakers Sound Storm F2100 200W 2 Channel Amplifier car audio wiring kit 6' stereo-mini to RCA cable 12V glove-box switch (cut-off so you dont run down the battery when the engine is off) ipod tools & hardware electric drill (for punching assorted holes and the speaker grills - drill from the inside-out) 1/4" thick pieces of plexiglass (for mounting, between speakers and console) hand-held power saw (to cut the plexiglass) soldering iron and solder (to solder the switch into the circuit) vice grips, standard scooter tool-kit (for disassembly and reassembly) wiring description (i think) positive terminal of scooter battery to power terminal on amp remote terminal on amp to ground terminal on amp (since there is no head-unit like in a car) ground terminal on amp to the bike's frame ground terminal on amp to glove-box switch swtich to negative terminal on battery todo: revise this to get the switch's light to turn on with the sound system note: my scooter's electrical system generates 150W so i have the amp turned up to about 2/3. cranking it all the way doesnt blow anything out or dim the lights but i keep it at 2/3 just in case.
