Anyone using this on a motorcycle with helmet speakers? Is the output adequate? Thanks

I have not used it in this capacity but when plugged into an external speaker system (treadmill) it works fine

I use it in my helmet on my Harley, and it has plenty of output. I do use ear buds rather than the included headphones, better with wind and helmet issues.

...with the sony earbuds (separate purchase) I would think 'yes' - I barely have 1/8 th. of the volume up on my bicycle and that's adequate for me...

I use them on my motorcycle. They do a great job with road noise and wind. And my music sounds great too!

With the 'busa, you've got limited space to mount four speakers. I think a two speaker system would be better for you. Maybe the SHKAMP5800SPKSUNFLOW 600 watt motorcycle marine audio system w/ 3.5 sunflower speakers (wired & wireless remotes). Hope this helps.

Anyone try running the output through the Fx Loop Send, increasing gain and lowering the Volume(so the speaker isn't heard)? But if this works you'll loose the Power tube phase. I'm using Blackstar Ht Metal's Emulated Output for this purpose.

My husband installed the earpieces inside the helmet, underneath the helmet lining, so no issues. They work great! Great sound. We use them for our motorcycle as well!

There is no auxiliary audio output to connect anything to. The internal audio is loud, but probably not enough for a motorcycle.

The closer the speakers are to your ears inside your helmet, the better they will sound. A lot also depends on how well your helmet keeps noise from entering and the loudness if your pipe, but using my iPhone as the music source, the sound is quite good, though not real heavy on bass.

As ListenUp stated, this isn't the best configuration but a workable one. I regularly connect an iPod or a laptop directly to my M1PWR and get decent results. I also have an old amp and speakers from a former auto that I use to play my iPod in the garage. Adding other devices between the source and the amp is better and more correct, but until you get these - have fun! As far as speakers, be sure they can handle the power and don't over drive them. The M1PWR deserves decent speakers, but you don't have to go crazy to get decent sound.

Its hard to say really, my hearing isn't the best and I ride a mtn bike fast on pavement (lots of tire noise), however the few times I've ridden w/o headphones and used the speaker I was able to hear the music although not loud and clear.I would definitely recommend using headphones anyways!

I had it running four 6.5 marine speakers and the power shuts off every time I turn the volume up 3/4 of the way. I returned it and purchased the Cadence fma 600. Hooked it up to the same four 6.5 marine speakers PLUS a 12" sub and it sounded awesome. Didn't have a problem with the volume all the way up.

I use it on a 3/4 helmet and a full face flip up helmet. With my 3/4 helmet I purchased the base that allows me to use ear buds - less wind noise, better sound. On my full face helmet, I use the helmet speakers. Works great in both.

It does require something else to be heard. It does have a plug to connect it to the motorcycle audio if you have it. I purchased a Cardo Scala rider blue tooth communicator that attached to my helmet. As far as swapping to the car that was easy and comes with car mounts. It should, considering the cost is 4X + the cost of a car GPS. It has a lot of extra features used for motorcycling. It got me where I needed to go, Laconia bike week and back with no problem for my first 1040 mile round trip.

Yes - there are speakers that easily slip into helmets setup for music. One word of caution, though. I have heard how great these are, but in some simple tests around the office (low speed), the other side complained about the audio quality. Could just be me - I have not done an exhaustive test, or could have something configured wrong.

Sure! IF...you can use speakers on your motorcycle that are amplified by themselves (the radio only has enough audio power for headphones...) There are many brands available.

I hooked it up to a 150cc ruckus style scooter. It's louder than stock but not super noisy, has a good low tone. Fit great and only had to cut one of the mounting tabs off to be a direct bolt on.

Yes, it works with an MP3, but I have never tried it on a motorcycle. Not much you can hear on a motorcycle though. LOL. Sorry I wasn't more help.

Sadly, I sold my bike about a month before I bought these, so I haven't tested them in that environment. :^( However, I think these would work fine, plus these are great for any loud environment where you still need to hear people talk. Also, these would be good if you use a device like ScalaRider or Chatterbox. Earasers do have another product called "Peace and Quiet" that seem to block more sound and may be better for highway speeds on a motorcycle, though.
