I have a cycle sound and I am going to replace the radio for my 1981 gs 850gl. How many watts are enough to be able to hear it (I have a Vetter windjammer III fairing as well) on the 70mph interstate? Does anyone have any experience with this?
 
I have a stereo on mine and dont know waht the wattage is but i can here it just fine It depends on the quility of the stereo and the price you want to pay for it.Good speakers will maka a difference

Actually, good speakers are MORE important than wattage, because if your speakers stay clean at higher volumes you'll do just fine even with an inexpensive stereo. I have a $100 stereo that I think puts out around 40 watts, and I have little trouble hearing it. The weakest link in the system is by far the little 4" speakers. if I figured out a good way to custome fit 5 1/4 inchers I'd do it in a heartbeat!

thank you

Does anyone know how do I know what speakers are good aside from the price I pay?

more info please

more info please

Does any one have specific recomendations for speakers for a cycle sound? I want to hopefully be able to hear the music on the hiway. I read in an old post that Pioneer TS-G1047 4" speakers will fit and are good. Any input?

I'm on vacation so I can't go look at my bike, BUT I think those are the speakers in my cyclesound. They work fairly well, as long as you don't try to pump too much bass through them at higher volumes.

I don't have any specific recommendations, but you should be able to find a good poly cone speaker here with the ability to take more power.
