I have to say though I'm very happy with both the kit's contents, the look and build of the speakers and the actual audio that pours out of them. I have made a quick video which will better demonstrate the set up so feel free to take a look at it now. Please note that the stereo effect and loudness is lost on this compressed video but let me assure you these are very loud and sound great with no distortion until you turn it up to 100% and then it's minimal as you will hear in the video. At highway speeds of 70+ you can still hear them although you have to have them turned up quite high. When you come to a stop you realize just how loud they are though obnoxiously loud at full whack!
So I used a fuse tap (if you search for fuse tap on amazon you'll find lots of them for pennies) to hook the amp directly to the wiring harness of the bike and I ground it to the frame both spade and ground connector were supplied. It is is important that you don't just hook the kit up to the battery as you don't want the amp bleeding it dry during downtime, and an amp at 200 Watts wouldn't take long to drain it at all. So either add an inline switch (not supplied but easy to add) or hook up to your ACC/auxiliary on the bike or do what I did and tap into the ignition fuse directly.
Very happy with the result. If you're in the market for a low price, high quality speaker set up for your bike then this could very well be it.Not a bad little stereo. I had a better sounding system on my last bike (a shark stereo), but it was UGLY! This system sounds fine, but I did have to set my iPod to an equalizer setting of almost no bass in order to avoid distortion. I have loud aftermarket pipes and a windshield and I can hear it fine at highway speeds.
Since this is the lower-grade model, Pyle kind of jips you on installation hardware. The brackets for mounting the speakers are small "z" shaped brackets, which are useless for handlebar mounting. I went to Lowe's and bought some 1" anodized, rubber-sheathed "p" brackets for a little over a buck and used them to mount the speakers to the handlebars. I need to go buy another set to mount the volume control to the handlebars.
I think the next stereo up (the -60 model) gets you the chrome "p" brackets plus a higher watt amp and am/fm too. I never use the am/fm and found the "p" brackets for cheap, so the only reason for me to buy the upgrade would be for the larger amp.PYLE PLMCA30 Motorcycle Mount Amplified 200 Watt x 2 Stereo Sound System with Dual Handlebar Mount Speakers
What a great product for the price! I put this on my 07 Heritage Softail. I was very suprised at how loud it was.Reasonable for city driving. Over 35-40mph can't hear much. Worked fine for 2 months, then mysteriously stopped working. Presumably something fried inside the amp.
So here is a video review of the plmca30 which we installed on a buddy's ATVyou can see how to hook it up and judge for yourselves. I think for the money it's awesome!
