BradT Posted October 12, 2007 Share #1 Posted October 12, 2007 This is one quite small and may fit just about anywhere. Not sure how well works. Brad http://www.motorcyclespeakers.net/shop/speaker-amplifier-100-110-prd1.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BOO Posted October 12, 2007 Share #2 Posted October 12, 2007 This is one quite small and may fit just about anywhere. Not sure how well works. Brad http://www.motorcyclespeakers.net/shop/speaker-amplifier-100-110-prd1.htm Buy it and let us know how it works. I bought one, not this one, and it didn't work very well at all. Only paid 25 bucks for it though. Jerry Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Marcarl Posted October 12, 2007 Share #3 Posted October 12, 2007 Wonder what the power consumption is. There is only so much available on our scoots. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BradT Posted October 12, 2007 Author Share #4 Posted October 12, 2007 Wonder what the power consumption is. There is only so much available on our scoots. If it put out 100 watts at 12volts it would be 8.3 amps Brad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest steyr1488 Posted October 12, 2007 Share #5 Posted October 12, 2007 How would you wire our stock amp into that thing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mini-muffin Posted October 12, 2007 Share #6 Posted October 12, 2007 Wow and I thought someone wanted to amplify me. Jeff said that wouldn't be good though. :Laugh::Laugh: Margaret Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eck Posted October 12, 2007 Share #8 Posted October 12, 2007 Here is a link to the item I am thinking of getting and removing & replace my cassette player with. Page down to check out the actual size dimensions of this unit, and note the 200 watt output.. http://www.etronics.com/product.asp?dp=F2C20212E6321253F38363938357F373637373236313&stk_code=pyr403g&svbname=16 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freebird Posted October 12, 2007 Share #9 Posted October 12, 2007 That looks almost exactly like the one that I used to replace my cassette deck. Worked out pretty well. If you haven't seen it, there is an article in the tech library on doing that swap. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thinking it would be easier to install. Boo I may go with the one Eck pointed out. Sorry to hear yours did not work Brad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RoadKill Posted October 13, 2007 Share #11 Posted October 13, 2007 I bought one of these and it works great. Battery lasts forever. I turned it on when we left on vacation and never turned it off till we got home 7 days later and its still working. Before it for my MP3 or XM I had to have the volume on 25+, sometimes 30. Now 14 -18 depending on wind noises and the day. I just velcro it to the device I want to boost at the time. Do a Google on Boostaroo and you can get more info.

FozzyUSN Posted October 13, 2007 Share #12 Posted October 13, 2007 If it put out 100 watts at 12volts it would be 8.3 amps Brad 8.3 amps is assuming 100% efficiency. Most amplifiers are between 25 - 78 % efficient so your amperage would more likely be between 10.5 - 33 amps. Add to that number the initial surge when you turn it on, and that could be all the way up to 50 - 75 amps. If memory serves correctly (one of the few times), I think our stators only put out around 130 - 140 amps. Feel free to jump in a correct me on this. This if from an engineering/technicians point of view. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thom Posted October 13, 2007 Share #13 Posted October 13, 2007 that is a 100 watts output not input most amp only put out .08 volts , my 1000 watt amp per channel at max out put draws 100 amps 12 volt dc . and no i do not have that amp on my bike , it is on my houseboat the local kids have found out do not play rap around this boat , i will win the power war , hank williams sr at 2500 watts :rotfl::cool10: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rod Posted October 14, 2007 Share #17 Posted October 14, 2007 When I used a Boostaroo on my GPS/MP3 player I got engine noise intermittently thru the speakers. It did the job when it was working right. Never got around to looking at it to see if it was the ground on the amp or cable but it should not be too hard to fix it when I split the faring next time.

Rod It must be something like that because I have no intereference in either my XM radio or my GPS/MP3 combo. Maybe the splitter is not plugged in tightly inside the fairing. The only thing I wish is that the Boostaroo was just a little smaller. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BradT Posted October 14, 2007 Author Share #19 Posted October 14, 2007 Ok Brad ol buddy,,,which one...where is it?? I missed it someplace along the ride... The one I originally posted was the one I thought was small and easy to install, compared to the EQ that replaces the Tape deck. Personally I think the EQ one would work better though. Sorry if I confused you. Brad Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
