Speakers

[Pilot]

Don't throw your money away on these:

 

 

LEGACY LS-452MK speakers, they sound like a soup can with a string.

Are they Marine?

 

Cause I'm looking to Up Grade mine. (Same Bike)

I can't deal with this 14 watt speakers anymore........

[Color01]

I know several people who installed the Polk Marine speakers ..and they said, these speakers are great.

I hope so, I'd like to replace all 4 speakers

I also am going to add the slim Baffels

http://www.crutchfield.com/S-dZOVYAsoIP6/App/Product/Item/Main.aspx?i=237XT42

to them as well. It should help the Front speakers

a whole Lot! I am doing this today or tomorrow.

 

The fronts lose's way to much from the sound falling

into the fairing.

 

I also am still gunna add the baffles to the rear as well.

 

NOTE: if installing baffles make sure you cut a dime size hole into the bottom

of the baffle for the air suction.

 

Good Luck.

They are waterproof, but stay away from them they are crap.... Go with Pioneer or Polk, I had Pioneer TS-G1040R in my 03 and they sounded good but I would have to say they didn't sound any better then the stock. If you want better sound install an equalizer.

I would have to agree, I have installed the Pioneers in a couple of bikes and they are only slightly better than the stock speakers. I also bought one of the small Amp and it is totally junk, I wouldn't call it an Amp, might qualify as a resister or impedance.

I believe the people using the Equalizers are having better luck with those then what I did.

Be interested to hear what you end up with and how you like it.

Jerry because my bike is new (07) I'm not sure if I will install an eqalizer or not, some dealers would have a problem with the warranty. For the time being I'm going to stick with the stock until I run into another member who has upgraded and I can hear for myself.

So , what about the baffles being used with the stock speakers?? Would that make an improvement?

[Cougar]

I think it would help a bit. but if I had stock speakers and was going to go to the trouble of putting the baffles in I would change out the crappy

speakers myself. they are terrible.

my 2 Cents!

[hhoffmanlv]

Don't want crappy !! Took your advice and placed the order for the db400 with the baffles ! Enjoyed your write-up and will be referencing it when I put mine in.

[Cougar]

You Da Man! now there is only 398 speakers left *lol*

the 400's are going out of stock soon.

[Cougar]

Also, make sure you got the SLIM BAFFLES!

Heck you might have the baffles on before me..

My past week I have been kinda sick and

I have not had a chance to go out into the garage

yet. It also has been below ZERO the past couple days!

Yuck!
