Upgrade your GL1500 Sound System

[dwgeo104]

I ride an 89 Goldwing Trike Conversion. I tried improving my sound system with a cassette adapter and satellite radio subscription but it still didn't have much power. I mounted a 200W (inline) Amp in my trunk. I made sure it had an MP3 input and ran that cord to my radio face where I used Velcro to mount my MP3 Player near my radio controls - just for convenience. Now the radio is very powerful and my MP3 Player is loaded with thousands of music files - files I control by taking the MP3 unit to my PC in my den. There I charge it, add and delete music as desired. A shop manual is needed to find your color coded wires. I'm assuming you have already added an after market pair of rear speakers and fade. My sound system really rocks now.

I just use the cassette adapter with my Ipod and helmet speakers and it's plenty loud. Sierra Electronics will install a Ipod/Mp3 input for around $100 and the sound quality is supposed to be much better. I might do that while the bike is stored this winter.

I found this AMP on Ebay - it really worked better then I'd hoped. Having more power doesn't mean you make a nuisance of yourself Blasting high volume through your neighborhood. It means more radio stations and overall better fidelity. The cassette adapter isn't going to give you more power. I had that with satellite radio. I found the sound lacking and the expense excessive. It's made in China, it's a SON-7227 DELUXE AUTO SOUND ENLARGER, I took some pics for you.

unless your antenna is powered you won't pick up more stations. you will bring clairity to your sterio system which can be heard thruogh the neighborhood
