I can hear the stereo now

Hey everybody. Well I needed to update the stereo on my Voyager. Just like another fine bike we know of the cassette type stereo is long in the tooth.

I'm calling this Voyager Tunes Stage1.0. The pre amp and amp are in the lid of the tour pack. I haven't taken pictures of that part because I am less than proud of how it looks at this stage. I may post them later anyway.

The stereo itself is a Clarion CMS 2 http://www.crutchfield.com/p_020CMS2/Clarion-CMS2.html?tp=61742 With a Clarion XC 2410 amphttp://www.crutchfield.com/p_020XC2410/Clarion-XC2410.html?tp=61752 .

I ran heavy gauge wiring from the battery to a relay in the tour pack and this powers the stereo. The speakers are 4" Kicker 2 ways mounted in Kicker pods.

I did have these on the back and function was incredible but I couldn't take how it looked. Kind of big.

Infinity Marine 6912Mhttp://www.crutchfield.com/p_1086912M/Infinity-6912M.html?tp=61755 They are amazingly clear, accurate, and loud. I will find a way to have them on my ride.

The stock radio stays until winter. It will come out then and the space will be "otherwise utilized".

This is what the heart of the tunes looks like. I cut a piece of luan and painted it then used the rack itself to pattern the holes in the plywood. The allen bolts thread right into the rack mounts. It's 8 or 10 gauge wire to power the relay. The little blue pieces are the high pass filters that keep the tiny 4" speakers from self destructing at higher volume levels.

Good job. I didn't like the looks of the speakers on the back either but I bet it sounded good.

It sounded incredible for a bike stereo. Still does actually. The Infinitys provided much needed bottom end.
