and HOSS how are you gonna hear the radio in a soft top multifuel?

 

[wreckerman893]

How do you hear the radio with your hearing protectors on?

 

[doghead]

Here's what I use. Hearing protection and tunes, all in one.

i dont ware hearing protection, my ears are use to the multifuel and the speakers are right behind my head.

 

[Goose2448]

Its not about being used to the engine, its about the noise and loosing your hearing. Trust me, wear protection. I have lost a lot of my hearing from driving around in a stright pipped truck. Should have worn protection.

 

[big hoss]

If i do long trips over 15 min one way i will ware hearing protection but if im just put puting around town i dont. i normaly dont get over 35

The great thing about not wearing hearing protection is if you don't wear it eventually you won't have to due to hearing loss. In all seriousness I've been around things that go bang and boom for 15 years and always wear hearing protection in training (not feasible in real life) and still have sustained damage to my hearing. If you don't believe me just ask my wife.

I like the radio setup. I was thinking about putting a couple speaker boxes behind the seats for some tunes when I'm trail riding or camping. I assume you have dual alternators and use the 12V to power it all.

 

[big hoss]

actualy i hooked it up to my first battery. its working fine for now

 

[Heavysteven]

You would be wise to read up on the risks associated with pulling 12 volts off one battery.

Wear hearing protection.

You need to listen to everyone. Wear hearing protection when driving the deuce, even for short distances and for low speeds. You don't realize it, but you are injuring yourself. I put my earplugs in before I start the engine.

Young and foolish now, wise and deaf later...

You'll also learn that using one battery may bite you in the butt, later too.

There is tons of real life experience shared on this site. If you don't learn from it, you'll learn it later on in life, in some cases, when it's too late(and you'll regret it forever).

When I was 17, I knew everything too...

I'm in my late 30's and I still haven't heard anybody tell me I am wrong!!

Are you talking to me!!

 

[yolner]

What? Did you say something?

 

[Takai13]

Wear hearing protection!

It may seem like a huge annoyance but, in 20 years when you can't hear your kids because you have lost that frequency range in your hearing. You will wish you had done it.
