I've just imported tube amps for cars. They are the best!!! ;D ;D

Though we still have to introduce it to car audio newbies here, I think I'm confident they will like it.  The ear is the judge!

BTW, were the first to introduce an affordable tube amp here...  ;)

Our house brand...

To each their own, and I wish you luck with the project but it sounds like a bad idea.  I have a decent sound system in my convertible, but it still does not sound great once you get some decent wind noise going above 65mph.   It is going to be far worse on a scooter.  I can only imagine where you start cutting to put speakers, unless you want to install forward firing speakers in a top box, six inchers are going to be tough to find a place to put them.  And a subwoofer firing into your butt from below the seat just is not for everybody.

Then there is the issue of messing with a scooter's electrical system for the demand.

At best, you can listen to some tunes over the exhaust, motor and wind noise up to about 40 mph.  At worst you have spent a lot of money to fry your electrical system and render the scooter into a nice big paperweight.  And neither is really going to impress the ladies.

But yeah, good luck.

I really tried to stop raining on his parade, but I did a couple projects like this back when I was in my twenties and I wish someone would have stopped me.  It would have saved me from flushing cash.  Nobody will see it as helping, but there it is.

Hey, maybe he pulls it off and it is awesome.

i always thought of it this way......if you want that many speakers and such then get a car. i personaly like to keep weight down in order to preserve performance but then again i do have an Agility. and i wouldnt like the thought of having to replace fried batterys either, fried batterys and fried wallet.
