I have seen some videos on YouTube people install sub-woofer and speakers into the luggage compartment under the seat however i still need that compartment for my stuff, i am thinking to install speakers in the front.
As far as actual sub woofer and speakers what would you suggest using not trying to spend fortune and no audiophile either just need something that will be louder than the exhaust system.
Speakers go here
or here in this useless vents
Currently have this 10watt RMS amp laying around used it with $40 pair of "white van" speakers, it produced some decent loud music, cannot call this quality sound and bass sucked however was really loud for speakers i found in the trash.
I think if i find similar cheap speaker system with appropriate size sub and just throw away the case and install onto scooter should do the trick.
Any advice is welcome.

just make sure your system doesn't use up what little extra juice youre lights don't take. or you might get stranded somewhere unless you have a kickstarter. happened to me with first version of under lighting on my gyro. rode it to the gas station to get smokes lookin all cool on a blue cloud of light, till I went to leave and it went wawawa click. then I was so cool, you could call me culo… lol

I am not tying to blast music, just need some stereo, also i find out you need a housing for sub woofer just putting it will not produce sound, might need to use that storage compartment after all.

depends on the sub. a free air woofer doesn't need a box. you might want to figure out the specs of your charging system and whats already being used. most scooters don't have much left over after headlight taillight brakelight and blinkers horn ect, plus if youre using every bit of juice your scooter is making, your ignition system will suffer. you probably should convert to led lights to free up some extra amps. but keep in mind amplifiers suck up a lot of juice. it takes energy to make power. you could probably get away with one of those boss or similar 4 channel 400-800 watt kits and run 2 full range speakers and bridge the other 2 channels to power a free air 6-8" sub with a cheap crossover inline to block the mid and high frequencies.

I put 2 6.5 in seat, 2 in tweats in front. and 2 6x9s in trunck but so darn muffled I removed the bs and started over.
I'm biulbing an atv tube with double din dvd, 2 6.5s, 4 3 in tweats and 2 6x9's. i cut the avt tube down by over a foot. it is no longer huge. should finish almost tomorror.
Ill give a walk around and show it if you care to see. The guage shows 14.9 while riding. I rode 200 miles today and my booty hurts. there and many in line converters to allow less power. in line filters.
Just wanna say, I hope you are all well, are scooting, modding and pushing whats excepted as possible. Good lucks friends.

A set of speakers up on the bars will be the most efficient. I had a 100W Shark system on one of mine for a bit. I found that mounting speakers anywhere but up high increased the need for power. Can't say it looked the coolest, but worked well. No real low end response, but not bad if you don't need to thump. I could still hear it fine cruising 50MPH.  There are some cheap mirrors that include speakers and an MP3 player as well. |

Put a beats pill-like device on the handlebars with a bicycle mount.

Recently come across 2 large Pioneer speakers on the sidewalk broad them home bought 12v car amplifier for $12 bucks and it blasts pretty good.
I am back on the track with audio install.
Checked using online calculator audio amplifier that draws 2 amps over 12 volts power line only uses 24watts max, is this correct assumption? |

This is right up your ally.
You need to know what your scooter is consuming for power, lights, ect. Then you need to know what your charging system output is(amps). Then you will know if you have enough capacity to support the audio system.

I have pretty standard 6 pole stator right now and unfortunately there's no alternatives for Vino 125.
Swapped regular headlight bulb that (confirmed) draws 60W (far beam) for LED bulb that (confirmed) consumes only 15watt (far beam), now i have 45w available to support audio system in either way, 25w is peak that amplifier consumes.
Will measure whole system draw tomorrow since i am adding 6 LED stop signal bars ~1.1watt each at brightest (brake light). How i measure my charging system output in amps? |
