    DO NOT SIGN UP USING hotmail, outlook, gmx, sbcglobal, att, bellsouth or email.com. They delete our forum signup emails.

    A note to old forum members...
    I receive numerous requests from people who can no longer log in because their accounts were deleted. As mentioned in the forum FAQ, user accounts are deleted if you haven't logged in for the past 6 months. If you can't log in, then create a new forum account. If you don't get an error message, then check your email account for an activation message. If you get a message stating that the email address is already in use, then your account still exists so follow the instructions in the forum FAQ for resetting your password.

    Have you forgotten your password or have a new email address? Then read the forum FAQ for details on how to reset it.

    Any email requests for "can't log in anymore" problems or "lost my password" problems will be deleted. Read the forum FAQ and follow the instructions there - that's what we have one for...

  • Returning Visitors

    If you are a returning visitor who never received your confirmation email, then odds are your email provider is blockinig emails from our server. The only thing that can be done to get around this is you will have to try creating another forum account using an email address from another domain.

    If you are a returning visitor to the forum and can't log in using your old forum name and password but used to be able to then chances are your account is deleted. Purges of the databases are done regularly. You will have to create a new forum account and you should be all set.

Hey guys, gals, and other? 8O ,

I am working on mounting speakers on my handlebars. I shopped around for some ready made ones and found that they are ridiculously expensive. The cheapest amplified speakers I found cost around $400! I thought I would try some home engineering and see what I could come up with. I found that most computer speakers run on DC out of a wall-wart. So I bought a 5 dollar pair of amplified computer speakers and dismantled them. I am still experimenting and will post updates as I go. The 12 watt amp from the speakers is audible, but just barely. I am going to try daisy chaining two of them to see what happens. This is an early breadboard stage project, but I will keep you updated and if anyone has any input, feel free to speak up.

if you dont have a fairing it will take quite a lot of watts to hear the sound in anything but very slow speed. Mounting a pair of thin speakers in your helmet may work more effectively and can be wired into an intercom or FRS radio for bike to bike chat. Wind noise always drowns out most audio.
