As far as i know you can hook up the Sony Ericsson's walkman portable speakers,that do not require an external power supply.

hey..

it definitely is possible.

Infact even with the existing battery. But the practicality issue and obviously sounding like a auto rickshaw.

holds back a lot.

Your main concern would be to have waterproof setup with proper fuse's in place.

The battery draining will ofcourse be a problem if you play it long without the engine on. Bigger the speakers the faster the draining. and the smaller the speakers the less fun it is..

Again charging points have also been done before . dont remember the name of the guy.

U can put them in your side vents. They'll look quite cool over there.

The simple way is to buy a Honda Goldwing it's comes with a 6 CD changer unit onboard... ha ha ha just kidding my friend. But your query is impractical, c'mon you live in India there are thieves all over looking for a chance to steal anything they can lay their hands on. It's not that there are no thieves outside the country but still.

I've seen a guy who had done this on his bullet. But it's not advisable for bikes.

honestly it would be more of a show off thing than anything. because with the wind roar and the helmet, you can exactly appreciate the music or anything. earphones are the solution, but keep volume low enough for traffic.

It's very much possible.. I did it on my Kinetic Nova, few years back. It Included two speakers and hooked to small 128MB MP3 Player. Intially tried with Portable CD MAN( Those were the days), but track skipping was a major problem.

There are two problems to it, waterproofing the Speakers and distortion of sound.

But my second experiment was better.. hooking small speakers in the helmet.
