Recommendations on a motorcycle sound system

Tyson

I ride a Maxim 650 about 30 minutes everyday to work on a more or less a desolate highway in upstate NY. It's pretty boring, I was thinking about a sound system, nothing too loud or bulky to clutter up the bike. Cheap, maybe three hundred or less. Just a speaker, I'd use an ipod or something. Recommendations?

Answer
Rumble Road powered speakers .

HELP! Motorcycle Intercom System?

Stefan And

I was wondering what the top brands were and why they are better? Also what the best options would be?
I don't want anything that would be a pain to install because I won't use it that much like once a week so whats something that doesn't permanently install into your helmet?

Answer
You can get a system that connects to the side of your helmet - both Cardo and Chatterbox make those. Not to difficult to install. Allows for bike to bike communication up to about 1/2 mile from each other, FM radio, connect an audio source such as an iPod, communicate via bluetooth to a GPS or cell phone.

With these there is a gizmo on the side of your helmet, microphone and speakers that stick on with velcro to the inside of the helmet. They work better with full face and full helmets better than half helmets. If your helmet is on the tight side, then the ear pieces can create a pressure point (at least they did for me).

There are also helmets designed to have similar systems built in. Example Nolan helmets and their n-com system.

I have the Klipsch Promedia 2.1 system on my computer in the office and I absolutely love them.

It may be tough to get them for your price but if you are lucky on eBay or Craigslist you might.

They are worth the extra cost.

Can my laptop support this speaker system?

NO-FEAR

I just got a brand new Sony VAIO laptop that I mainly use for music. I was looking at buying a speaker system from ebay which has just 2 speakers and a large subwoofer for base. Is a laptop really able to support this kind of wattage and power or is it more specifically made for an actual computer set. It says requirements are a COMPUTER WITH A SOUND CARD im not sure if that includes laptops and if mine even has a sound card.

This is the ebay page for the item it has all the details

Would appreciate any help THANKS GUYS!

Answer
Shouldn't be a problem. It likely comes with a standard 3.5mm stereo jack. Unless your laptop has a dedicated audio out (which very few do, but Sony might just be one of them), you would just plug them into your headphone jack. (Hint: turn down the volume on the headphones to about 1/3. Use the speaker's volume control to set the volume from there.)

Your laptop doesn't need much power to drive the speakers. The speakers themselves are powered. The amplifier is usually tucked in the subwoofer. You plug that into the wall and the mini-stereo jack into your headphone jack and away you go. There's usually just a simple crossover filter in the speaker will handle what to send to the subwoofer, so it doesn't actually directly connect to the computer.
