Awesome Alleyoop, I just replaced old speakers, only one was working, plus the radio quit working a long time ago, I have mine wired to battery, not sure how to wire to ignition. planning on putting a toggle switch somewhere. I got a mini amplifier 75wt I'm surprised how loud it is.

[alleyoop]

Yep, i have it connected to the battery as well and but I have a off and on toggle switch. The radio has a time and date display and it would always be on and drawing juice from the battery.

I have seen those on ebay for around 40 bucks. Are they decently loud enough?.

[alleyoop]

Yep loud enough for everyone around you to hear them and even over my Performance SuperTrapp muffler(HAHA).

this is the amp an speakers I got 200 watts 25.00 an the amp cant beat both ebay .amp 18.00 probley one of the best bangs for my buck I hooked this up to my sub 2 12 pyle 500 watts an it was pretty loud my car sub, plmpa35 only 30 watts rms but 150 watts peak what I like is that it even powered the 1000 watt box,i am sure it will do well with these speakers,an its got mp3 hooked in ,will install next few months,right now it finishing pdi comes first .the speakers are 4inch I willonly have to make the hole a bit bigger about inch an half,alot better bass the stock one to much treble then distortion o

Thanks scot. Ive seen those on ebay as well. I wonder how much of a drain on the charging system will it be. Do these bikes handle them very well?.

Yup, watch the amp draw. I fought a weak charging system for many weeks on my 2011 Roketa before finally reaching a halfway satisfactory solution involving lots of LED bulbs, headlights off in daytime, replacement cooling fan. Maybe I was just unlucky, haven't heard that it's a widespread problem with Roketa or similar scoots, but for me it was a big headache. In my own case I'd think long and hard, and check the specs, before adding anything at all that draws more juice. If in doubt, MP3 and earbuds -- the point is for YOU to hear your tunes, not everybody within half a mile.

actually I am not worried about amp draw ,I got a more powerful battery ,an I will be unhooking the stock stereo when the time comes to hook this up will be right to battery with on off switch,if amps become an issue I will get a more powerful voltage regulater an switch out some bulbs ,,an john had told me about different stator I have certain things wrote down ,an I guess something I can search for later ,for now it just making sure its safe for 100 miles trip ,an like ellpee I have 2 batterys a back up 12ah an the 9ah that came with it ,I may move to 14ah like some of the guys have ,an I also have the 5 or 6 15 amp fuses to replace the Chinese ones ,mabey 20 amps ,an a 20 amp for the round oldfashion one with the square type to the battery,an my carry kit will have extra fuses as well,,got some cooling fans incase ,they only draw like less the 1amp,i also did some research on how much those little amps draw ,not alot ,no more then the stock stereo,an when not using it ,that is a +.
