bicycles reviews | bicycles videos | bicycles online
Bike stereo. 150W/channel using Peavey drivers. Cabinets made from Sonotube with MDF ends. Pioneer GM-D9500F Class D amp. LiPo battery packs. Crossover and 50W L-pads from Parts Express. Speakers weigh about 25 lbs each, batteries 10 lbs for 6 hours runtime. Built on an Xtracycle Free Radical. I still haven't turned it up all the way. See it at http://www.cathodecorner.com/loudbike/

It's OK to unclench your teeth when talking. Also, after hearing the music selection i have a suggestion for a new name... The Pornocycle. Sounds good at least.

and have it look like every other bike out there? heck no! i am doing a leopard print myself.

The bike stereo is primarily designed to play to the front and to the rear. That way, I can ride down streets without making pain for the ears of people on the side of the street. The stereo soundstage is lost in this environment, so it really doesn't matter.

Very cool, hope to see you on the playa! Thanks for posting! One Q- Why spread out your soundstage and split up your stereo channels and face them opposite directions? Especially difficult in an open air scenario, half of your information is directed away from listeners. Stereo channels should work together. Really cool bike! Are you gonna cover your crossovers and amp?

Im trying to put a custom sound system on my townie 26 inch beach crusie 21 speed bicycle and im trying to figure out how to do it im gonna buy motorcyle speaker system that has the speakers and the amplifer or i might just buy motorcycle speakers and buy a car audio amplifer because i like the idea of having the speakers mounted on my handle bars but my question is how do i power it what kinda battery should i use and the biggest question is how do i charge the car battery from a power outlet?

Sorry, Dave, but I'm not buying your bike sound system story, as convincing as it may appear. You can't fool me. This is some sort of DARPA project, funded out of one of the government's dark ops programs. I know those tubes are really cleverly disguised rocket boosters. Having said that, please don't ride through my 'hood playing any of that Gangsta rap crap with those tectonic subwoofers cranked up to 2,000 decibels.

That bicycle sound system totally ROCKS !!,, it is so cool.... the only thing I dont like.... The cheeta cover on the bike frame, you should chrome the frame or do a paint job and build a cover for the amp. the cross overs and battery..... But nice job there, bery ingenious and looks like a lot of power.
