have an 09 SG and it is my first touring HD.
going to upgrade the soound system with "firecap501" very soon.
if i'm going to listen to some good jam i want it to be right.
what would be the best to get??
i know vibration mat play a part in it... possibly
recomendations?
ipod nano?
ipod?
flashdrive?

 

I run an i-Pod through my bike's sound system and really like how it works.

 

The big iPods have a spinning drive inside that are sensitive to vibrations. I use an iPod Nano that holds about 300 songs. Works great.

 

I would recommend a mp3 player that is flashed memory based vs. a hard drive based (ipod/zune 80-120gb). Because of all of the vibration is not good for small moving parts in a hard drive pased player.

 

thnx guys...
gotta start "hinting" at the wife what i want for Xmas...lol

 

I've got the second generation Ipod, holds hours of music and no problems whatsoever!

 

I agree with Dyebartdie; you want something that does not have a hard drive to it (the bigger ipods).

Check out the following thread that was posted a while ago:

I've tried two different flashbased mp3 players on mine an both had the same prolem. They limit the output level on the headset jack and even at full volume on the Harmon Kardon you can barely hear at highway speeds. I think the ipod allows you to adjust this, so I'm trying that next.

 

thats what i was afraid of...

Have you turned up your Nano Ronjo? On mine I think I went into options, and turned on a setting to let me max the Volume, the default left a lot on the table you weren't able to use, mines louder than my CD's now! Hope this helped some



wonder if this does help?
