Subject: RE: Music on the @


Hi Christian.

I'm not sure about the correct way to listen music while ride your @, but I
don't like very much the amp+speakers system (like Honda Goldwing). The
quality will be really poor because you can't install the correct (by size)
speakers, and  probably you can't ear anything over 60Km/h.

 In my opinion, this system is a heavy-duty solution for a bike like @, and
finally (and very important) you will bother all those will cross the street
through the traffic light with your (very loud) lo-fi sound system.

In my case, I use a different solution. I have installed inside my helmet a
little speakers from a good quality earphones (better 16-ohms. max), but
just the speakers, not the rest (metallic arc and speaker holders). All you
have to do its remove the foam inside your helmet and put the speaker
inside, just between the foam and the weave coat. Look for a good connector
that you can hide inside the helmet and that's all.

As a player, try to by a good CD-player with at least 6 seconds of buffer
memory to avoid the music jumps, or better... by a new MP3 player. Smaller
than the CD and everything inside is solid state, no mechanics parts.

Hope you find it interesting, and remember, it's just an opinion. :-)
