Old Guy with a Scooter
Looking for some help here, I have a Goldwing motorcycle with a Pioneer
Supper Tuner III DEH-1800 and 2 four inch speakers in the faring . The problem is , at speed (say 50 mph on up ) In order to hear the Stereo , I have to turn it way up to hear over wind noise . Thats when it starts so sound terrible with Popping ,cracking and buzzing and all that good stuff. Not knowing squat about this stuff I thought I'd come here to find out if there's better speaker I can go to , or do I need a amp or both . Looking for some help .... Thanks Runk...... |

You'll only get so much out of a 4" speaker to begin with, but it wouldn't surprise me if they were failing just from weather and abuse (how old is this setup?). You're probably looking at replacing the speakers at least... you MIGHT benefit from adding a small amp but again, a 4" speaker just doesn't move much air. It's hard to tell any more than that over the 'net... it's possible there's a wiring fault, or the amp in the deck is crapping out. Some in-person troubleshooting is really required to track down the exact cause of your problem. |

(Am I allowed to say that in here or should I go and wash my mouth out) Sure you are... but if his amp, deck, and/or speakers are fried, an iPod isn't really going to help anything, unless he uses it with headphones... which is dangerous and probably illegal (it is in BC). |

I would agree with everything Matt said. You just can't expect much out of
4" speakers however there are some manufacturers like MB Quart that make some VERY loud coaxial 4" drivers (they tend to be much more money than your average Alpine or Sony 4" coax's). Like Matt said, a small amp (perhaps 40 watts X 2 RMS) would certainly help NO MATTER what you try. Even stock speakers usually benefit with the addition of an aftermarket amp.
