Just completed my first long trip on my C10, some thoughts.

Hmmm. Sounds interesting. Can you post photos of that whole system? No hurry, but if you can sometime, that'd be awesome. Post 'em here if possible so I don't miss them.
I have some great Polk 4" 2 way bookshelf speaks that I used to use for surround rears. I could perhaps use them or at least mount the drivers and crossovers somehow.

I agree, the throttle cable thing is a possibility.   Will investigate.

And yeah I'll get some pics taken here in just a moment of the stereo.

Okay, here ya go.   I've also got the links to all the parts:

Sirius mounted in Pelican case, cover flipped open for access to buttons:


Cover shut, water resistant, still fully visible (I call it resistant and not waterproof because I did have to drill a hole in the side of the box for the wiring.   The hole is in a place where it's no factor unless you were to completely submerge it):

Overall the stereo is awesome.  The remote is a bit of a stretch to reach, but I couldn't figure out any other better solution.  The one thing to note, there's no mute button, just the power button.   You can shut it off quickly by simply turning the amp off, but when you turn it back on, the volume will be all the way down.   That also happens when you turn the bike off.   When you fire it up the next time, the volume will be down quite low.  I actually like this "feature" because if I roll in the garage rockin' out to something, the next time I turn the key it won't blast me outta house and home.   But if I want to shut it off quickly while on the road, you have to hold down the volume button to get it going again once you turn it back on.   I hope that makes sense.

I don't think I can ever have a bike without music again.   And satellite radio is perfect because you're never hunting for channels while out in the sticks.

I like it!. Are your fairing compartments at all functional with the speakers? Or I suppose they just are used as enclosures now, which must help the low end.
I can see having spare doors for when you not needing tunes.
Thanks for posting! I think your 2-way polks are more practical than mine with the separate tweeters.

There's a little bit of room still in there, but I don't use 'em.  I've got all the space I need in the luggage.   They're pretty tough to open and close now because part of the hinge was trimmed to make room for 4 inchers.   No loss for me though.

I removed the rear wheel to check on the cush drive rubbers to see if that's the cause of my driveline lash.  Nope, they're old but still doing their job.   Everything's nice and tight back there.

What I did find, while checking the adjustment of my throttle/return cables, is the throttle cable was broken off at the grip.   The metal braided wire inside was the only thing holding it together.   YIKES!   Off to Murphskits I go, thanks for the tip on that, whoever suggested it!

[ATC Buckeye]

DarkKnight, it was you that suggested it.   Good call.   That really would've been bad to have that sucker snap somewhere in WV!!

I just hit Murph up for a set of throttle cables and I went ahead and grabbed rebuild kits for the brake and clutch.   Might as well get it all done at once!

[ATC Buckeye]

Well after much struggling, cursing, etc, I now have a new throttle and return cable installed.   What a pain in the arse that job was.   I'm still not totally happy with the way the throttle shuts when you let it go, but it's gonna have to do.

I also rebuilt the master cylinder with the kit that Murph offers, and so far so good.   Feels a lot firmer (that's what she said) and I think it's good to go now.

Thanks for all the assistance!!

That's quite a sound system...no Kikker subwoofer?   

[ATC Buckeye]

Hahaha, wish I could find the room for it!!!
