Default Soundsystem on my Deluxe

I have four speakers, two on the engine guard and two on the handle bars. I tried to mount them so they didn't look like ears sticking out.

I made a little bracket to move the horn back then mounted the volume control on the bracket ahead of where the horn is bolted on.

Sirius radio is the audio method of choice. I just made a little bracket to mount it. Two speakers you can see and the two handlebar speakers are half hidden behind the cup holders.(The cup holders are made from ABS pipe I had laying around)

Just a view from the back

To start I got an amp and speaker setup from Uniq Cycle. Then the speakers on the engine guard I made from light housings and put speakers in them. This summer I found another small amp, now there are two apms I was able to mount out of sight so things don't look cluttered. We wear ear plugs when riding and we can hear the music at any speed I have done yet.(double or solo speed)

Thanks guys. tk353 you are absolutely right, but I guess I gave myself the challenge of a sound system on the bike. Next time maybe bluetooth headphones.
