[SamuraiClinton]

Some of these bike stereos are cool and all, but they are underpowered compared to the one I have!

[Chrisram1014]

[TheGangsterPetre]

[djyogas]

[dubhippy]

If anyone's interested in visiting a forum dedicated to all things bicycle sound system related, stop by the BIKEOLOGY website run by the owner of the Beatrix system shown here on youtube and join the conversations, show YOUR bike system off, or get ideas & technical help for building your own systems.

Anything from 1,000 watt plus trailer systems to modest DIY boombox hacks or even just curious onlookers are welcome.

if u got a car wats the point havin a bike

[ParnellBromley]

You can go places on bike that you can't in a car, its good exercise, doesn't burn gas and its fun

[dubhippy]

UNLIKE a car, the more you use the "motor" on a bike, the stronger it gets! that is, until some aggressive driving fidiot runs you over anyways.

bike stereos are a much better way to meet the ladies! how many lazy motorists do you know that have had chicks run up to them and freak (dance/hump) on their leg to a tune they're playing?

that's the kind of action you get on a FUGLY mountain bike with decent sound like my 1st system!

SAVE THE PLANET... RIDE A BIKE!

[SamuraiClinton]

@dubhippy If you think this bike stereo is a way to meet the ladies, wait till you check out mine on my YouTube channel!

[dubhippy]

@SamuraiClinton

wait until you see MY rig too. it will be a rolling disco with too much tacky chrome for the retina to endure! LOL ladies just love shiny objects and i already get them scoping my chrome on chrome beach cruiser without lighting or tunes just as well as my beat up 20 year old huffy kicking the jams out of bookshelf speakers on 15wpc.

people will lose their minds when it's all combined with a 500w+ sound system with light show.

let's battle! (friendly competition) ;)

@ParnellBromley

1. unlike a car, the more you use it, the better the engine (YOU) gets on a bike

2. bikes don't destroy the planet or run over & kill people

3. anyone can fix a bike or just carry it if it breaks

4. bikes are cheap & don't require insurance

5. the biggest reason to ride a bike with a stereo is that they make women RUN over to you to join the party like the one that ran up to me and started freakin' on my leg to "my sharona". ever get THAT kind of play in your polutionmobile?

[kaadauwgg]

Green house gases.. I don't know...

[fancysnake1]

@patryk336 Why do people say that?

[theoriginal87]

@fancysnake1 because they lazy tards

[ParnellBromley]

Sure they're quick and easy. But they're also dangerous, they allow very little to no ambient noise. They tangle easily, the ear buds fall off and they\re a tripping/snagging hazard . The only thing I like about headphones are the privacy, good for buses, crowded areas, and they keep bugs out of your ears!. Other than that, I recommend some speakers. Safer and hassle free.

[bigbingham]

Headphones are easier. Cheaper. Quicker. Also you can listen to whatever you want, however loud you want. But cool vid. Someones gotta do it.

[lilaj50cent]

Hey...

This sounds mad but i want to fit a car stereo and speaker to my bike... only trouble is with the battery/power? has anyone got any ideas for what could be powerful enough to run this for at least an hour?

I have a remote control car battery, i think its 9 or 12v?

i dont think i want a car battery ! a bit to heavy for a bike?

any replies are appreciated !

[skliffy]

why so apathetic, dude?

nice job..maybe think about cleaning up all those wires, whatever.

[ParnellBromley]

Ha ha, I just sound weird on camera. I eventually moved everything to a cargo carrier on a rear rack, added larger battery and switches. Then it got stolen. Working on a 5hp Cargo trike now

[skliffy]

it got stolen? I guess you need a security system too...I like the stereo...good luck on the trike

[MagicAsher111]

the metal is a sick song... oh and i need some of those speakers! there cool!

[lexistance]

yeah, as long as they're hooked up right. If they're parallel, they're still 6v, but if they're in a series circuit, is equals 12v

[Bojack222]

can 2 6v batteries replace 8 AA?

[twitchtank]

yeeee imma make one o.o

[omokati]

hey awsome man hey i just wana know how exacly to make something like that if i have a 300wat aplifier and 12 volt battery and speekers because i'm stuck

[ParnellBromley]

I'm not exactly too sure on what to do there either dude. Although I do have some tips: Try to use Lithium on batterys cause they charge fast and they're really light. I didnt go all out and use a high output amp cause I didnt want it too too loud. I still want to hear traffic and stuff, but didnt want head phones in. Im not sure what kind of speakers you're planning on using, but weather proof ones would be ideal. You may need a car altenator to get that much juice. Keep us posted man

[soundboxbike]

Very clean lightweight install - great work, I especially like the cable routing in the handlebars, and the fact that the speakers can be detached for inclement weather!

What is the first track played?

[ParnellBromley]

Thanks dude. I'm currently moving all the electronics to a rear rack cargo box and I've replaced my AAA batterys with a 6V NiCD baterypack. Ill be sure to post the updates when they're done.

Oh and the song was "The Metal" by Tenacious D haha

[chessdude3]

sick bike dude!!! nice!!
