Finished up the speakers in the front and pulled the grills and painted them for the rears. 4x DB drive speakers I posted, 1 JL 10" sub, soundstream 2000w 5ch amp under the drivers seat fed by a marine bluetooth receiver. Some day I might get a real head unit to feed it, but for doing it on the cheap I'm happy. Only mistake was those kicker marines, pass on those and go straight to these DB's if doing again.
Language warning around 1:30, needed something with bass to see how clear the speakers were with it thumping -

You need an Audio Controller to get anywhere near good sound outta that set up with a stock head unit. Also the Kicker Marine sound and perform fantastic not sure why you dont like them?

I have that exact LC sitting in my pile to sell. I'm not running the stock head unit, tried that and it did suck even with that LC. Signal coming outta there was impossible to work with and not get shitty performance. This is feeding it - https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01K1LLX5S
The kickers are the same price as the DB's right now ($300 for 4x of them), yeah they have LED's which required kicker's controller another $30, but that was only good I saw. 195 peak power and 65 RMS power on those. The DB are 150 RMS and 350 peak.... The sound is night and day different out of the same amp. I need to pull the drivers seat and re-adjust the front as they are still turned down from when it was set to not blow the kickers that were there.

I've been looking at the same thing - run BT from phone only. Pretty much only thing I did when I had the Kenwood in there anyways. Exactly what did you do to go from the BT receiver to the 4 channel amp? Or do you wanna sell that LC?

I just had single channel out, so I split it, not once but twice. So front/rear/sub - your probably not supposed to do this but it worked and when I had audio guy look at it they just tuned amp didn't give me crap about my signal...
To me the one I got looks like this one overall shape and output wise etc... to this one that had the specs listed for output. I think mine is the same spec wise and why I've had good luck with it being my source. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B015XLMA08

Any issues on your AudioPipe BT connector? A lot of reviews said it died after just a couple uses or months.

They need to come up with a similar idea to direct a blast of air across the rear wheel, to keep all that dust from collecting on it.

Not yet. I also haven't had the issue I read about where it loses sync with phone. Soon as it was bound on ignition on it gets power and phone immediately binds no having to do anything.

This unit is to bring air into the cockpit area.

I changed the design for the Wheelchair carrier, because the original one has a high center of gravity.
So this one will be saver. It is about 7" above ground, the loading and unloading will be easier too.
So I have a winter project
Original Design.
New Design

Great little bit And commentary however

mytoy if you haven't already I would suggest that you load the sling with the weight you will be transporting including riders weight to measure hitch height before finalizing plans. Would hate to see it dragging! You may also consider rotating the hitch to the short side for better aero

DER The clearance of the Sling is 5 1/2" so if it would go down from 7" to 5 1/2 I have to loose weight LOL. But I'll check before I make it.
Regarding rotating it by 90 degrees I think it would be like a sail for the crosswinds the way I have it when the wind comes from the back it will push
and when it comes from the front that's why I have a supercharger

New travel bags. Nice fit, looks good enough to leave installed for everyday use. Fit perfect with SlingLow luggage racks. Side view shows easy access for fueling. Pictures compact and expanded mode. IMO a single bag has plenty of storage for a full change of clothes 2X plus shaving kit and extras, charge cords ect. for an extended 3-4 day trip for the average male.
