The idea of putting your entire electrical system at risk, and under strain at best, and using known "cheap" stuff is not a good idea. At least talk to a high end auto stereo shop. Competition level guys will know of bargain priced quality components for your scoot. Look into JBL Marine as Vivo suggested. 3 hundred or less, and you know what you are getting.
Or spend 150.00 and whack it with a mallet.

So, here's a summary...


1. Class D amps (for efficiency and less power consumption)
2. Marine speakers and other equipment (for water resistance)
3. Match your enclosure with the speaker (consult a pro)
4. Consider power requirements
5. Use quality wiring kits (consult a pro)


Note: "Pro" does not mean back yard or small time installers. A lot of small time installers/sellers will deliberately wire your system to make it sound mediocre and will talk you into buying additional equipment and spend more. Just a friendly warning.. ;)   


Just to share our show car .....

I used Pyle in this ford focus, lots of em'... too many to list... I can list if you want...

Can someone please share a link to this d class small amps ???
I'll buy the quality items and wirings, it's not the problem . All I need to know is :
1. Good amp to buy an how many watts, to know what will fit my scoot battery
2. and what range of watts should I get the Speakers and the sub , according to the amp I will purchase .
That's it, the rest I'll make by my self .

Hi,

Not sure from reading your posts whether you only wanted this setup only for yourself when you are riding? Or whether it was so a pillion could listen also? Or when you get to a destination having the bike running and the stereo playing?

Not an answer to your question but possibly a different solution (assuming you just want speakers for personal use while riding): I recently picked up a Sena bluetooth headset that installed easily in my helmet. Enough power to last for 8+ hours on a single charge. Sound quality excellent streaming via Bluetooth from my phone. Only cost a little over $100. Maybe something to consider?

Ride safe.

Installed in your helmet for music playing? ???

Check your local laws. Illegal in some areas.

I may install one in my helmet for communication purposes and not for continuous music playing. It's very dangerous.

Doesn't really need to be illegal to figure out it's a bad idea.

I used to MX with a Sony Walkman wired to the helmet. I still like the idea.
