Anyone hear have a sound system on their bike?

I went past someone who was playing some nice dubstep on their speakers, I'm now strongly considering getting something similar to the ones in the video below.

Why not just wear headphones?

Gayness, you will have to have it on really loud so you can hear it over the engine noise, wind noise, through the helmet etc, and noone else wants to hear your music, +1 headphones, it's cheaper.

Hey 3illy.

Take a look at Scala rider sets. We use this set in my family.

They work fantastically for listening to music when riding, the speakers go inside your helmet lining as they are less than half a centimetre thick and affix with velcro and the module just clips to the shell of your helmet.

With it, you can listen to music/answer your phone or even talk to your pillion/another rider who has one. I connect my iPhone via Bluetooth so I can listen to music with no cables and answer calls when riding, it's really good.

One of the good things about it too is if you are riding with a friend it's like having eyes a few hundred metres in front of you as they can tell you what's up the road around a blind bend or something, plus when you can talk to your pillion it makes rides a whole lot more fun and less boring.

Very recommended for listening to music when riding. .

Had stereo systems on the Goldwings I owned and they worked fine. You could hear pretty well up to 80 but the fairings are a bit of a barn door and they had automatic volume control, they turned themselves up as you went faster.

Surprisingly, they weren't that loud from the passer by perspective.
