Hi all,
I always ride with high quality custom made audio earmolds, but was considering external dash mounted speakers in addition when I dont want the earmold option, ie short ride, helmet on and off frequenlty...
What were the results, where do you get the speaker boxes and speakers?
I have a small 12 v amp, mp4, and Scala Rider intercom I use for all my audio needs.
I realize the sound will never be as clear as earmolds but just wanted to get some info from someone who has done this.
thanks for your help.

try this link.
Copy and paste in your browser or just click the blue link and be lazy. :whistle
I had these fitted to my 96 ST1100. I found them brilliant until I got my Scala bluetooth unit.
I had them fitted to the dash and they were very clear at full speed. ;-*
I will see if I can find the pictures for you.

thanks very much for the link, I would be very interested to see how you mounted them.
if you can post up a picture that would be great, I have a St1300 and wonder if they would fit behind the speaker grille.
are they relativly waterproof?
thanks again

My ST came with speakers and marine cd and radio. I have tested them but never really used them. You are welcome to try anytime.

Thanks Flip and Popeye for the info, much apreciated!
I think I will not progress with external speakers for the moment.

Ilove the external speakers on my GL1500 Goldwing and plan on fitting some to my ST1300. I have been trying to buy the original Honda speakers and boes for a while but no luck so far.
