Cougar Posted December 31, 2007 Share #5 Posted December 31, 2007 http://www.venturerider.org/forum/showthread.php?t=16934 I also am going to add the slim Baffels http://www.crutchfield.com/S-dZOVYAsoIP6/App/Product/Item/Main.aspx?i=237XT42 to them as well. It should help the Front speakers a whole Lot! I am doing this today or tomorrow. The fronts lose's way to much from the sound falling into the fairing. I also am still gunna add the baffles to the rear as well. NOTE: if installing baffles make sure you cut a dime size hole into the bottom of the baffle for the air suction. Good Luck.

Pilot Posted December 31, 2007 Author Share #6 Posted December 31, 2007 Are they Marine? Cause I'm looking to Up Grade mine. (Same Bike) I can't deal with this 14 watt speakers anymore........ They are waterproof, but stay away from them they are crap.... Go with Pioneer or Polk, I had Pioneer TS-G1040R in my 03 and they sounded good but I would have to say they didn't sound any better then the stock. If you want better sound install an equalizer.

BOO Posted December 31, 2007 Share #7 Posted December 31, 2007 They are waterproof, but stay away from them they are crap.... Go with Pioneer or Polk, I had Pioneer TS-G1040R in my 03 and they sounded good but I would have to say they didn't sound any better then the stock. If you want better sound install an equalizer. I would have to agree, I have installed the Pioneers in a couple of bikes and they are only slightly better than the stock speakers. I also bought one of the small Amp and it is totally junk, I wouldn't call it an Amp, might qualify as a resister or impedance. I believe the people using the Equalizers are having better luck with those then what I did. Be interested to hear what you end up with and how you like it.

Jerry Jerry because my bike is new (07) I'm not sure if I will install an eqalizer or not, some dealers would have a problem with the warranty. For the time being I'm going to stick with the stock until I run into another member who has upgraded and I can hear for myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hhoffmanlv Posted January 1, 2008 Share #10 Posted January 1, 2008 So , what about the baffles being used with the stock speakers?? Would that make an improvement? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cougar Posted January 1, 2008 Share #11 Posted January 1, 2008 I think it would help a bit. but if I had stock speakers and was going to go to the trouble of putting the baffles in I would change out the crappy speakers myself. they are terrible. my 2 Cents!

hhoffmanlv Posted January 1, 2008 Share #12 Posted January 1, 2008 Don't want crappy !! Took your advice and placed the order for the db400 with the baffles ! Enjoyed your write-up and will be referencing it when I put mine in. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cougar Posted January 1, 2008 Share #13 Posted January 1, 2008 You Da Man! now there is only 398 speakers left *lol* the 400's are going out of stock soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cougar Posted January 1, 2008 Share #14 Posted January 1, 2008 Also, make sure you got the SLIM BAFFLES! Heck you might have the baffles on before me.. My past week I have been kinda sick and I have not had a chance to go out into the garage yet. It also has been below ZERO the past couple days! Yuck!
