riding your scooter bike motorcycle or other rides that require a helmet can get boring on those long journeys or cruises. music can help this. but what if you forget your headphones? here is a simple mod that you can do so you will always be able to listen to your tunes as long as you have an mp3 player.

most of the materials you can use can probably be recycled or acquired at a electronics store like radioshack. this project shouldnt cost more than 10 bucks.
you will need:
-some length of wire(2 thin guaged wires. about 3-4 feet long)
-a speaker(can be taken from an old set of headphone or bought from an electronics store for around 1-2 bucks)
-an old set of headphones for the 3.5mm stereo jack
-a soldering iron
-a hot glue gun
-a helmet you want to put the speaker system in

bt before i assume, how is their performance?
it works but wind noise drowns out some of the music from the speaker, and also im only using one speaker on my helmet. i agree that we can use something LOUDER!
but ill add more to this mod which is adding an actual microphone to it also so you can talk on the phone with the helmet on. :)
for the purpose, we could also get away with a wired connection...also keep the mic covered with a piece of cloth, it makes the voice clear.
and yes, the helmet has a visor. its pretty convenient because i attach my camera to it when i want some riding footage
