Can I install two sets of Rumble Road speakers on my bike without overtaxing the battery?

Rumble Road Frequently Asked Questions
You certainly can! Some of our customers have cleverly installed "quad" mounts — a pair on the handlebars and an opposing pair astride the passenger seat. If you still can’t quite picture it, this approach is beautifully illustrated by one of our customer testimonial montages. Each pair of Rumble Road™ Premium speakers draws 5 amps peak from the battery.

If my bike has a windshield, can I still mount Rumble Road speakers on the handlebars?

Rumble Road Frequently Asked Questions
Many of our customers mount Rumble Road™ speakers just inside the windshield, on the handlebars. As a guideline, allow for the 3" depth of the speaker enclosures, which are approximately 4.75" in diameter, and a standard 3/8" mounting bolt. By turning the mounting clamp opening so that it faces the seat versus the windshield, you can typically gain an additional two inches of clearance. Clamps of various sizes are available on our accessories page.
Related Questions

Are Rumble Road speakers connected directly to the battery?

Rumble Road Frequently Asked Questions
Rumble Road™ speakers can be wired either directly to a 12-volt battery, through a user-supplied switch and fuse, or to another switched and fused 12-volt source on your bike. Most of our customers wire the speakers to an existing 12-volt accessory line, headlight power line or other switched accessory on their bike, based on the generalized instructions provided in our installation manual.

Are Rumble Road speakers waterproof?

Rumble Road Frequently Asked Questions
Rumble Road™ speakers are water-resistant but not waterproof. The speakers feature injected plastic cone material and are sealed tightly within the spotlight enclosure with heavy rubber washers. The tight mesh of the stainless steel grille covers also helps keep the system dry. MHI has conducted extensive, successful tests for water resistance, and customers have not reported any weather-related malfunctions. MHI gives you the option to order either way.

Related Questions

Are there electrical grounding issues associated with the black Rumble Road speakers?

Rumble Road Frequently Asked Questions
The powder-coating process creates insulation properties that could restrict the flow of power to your Rumble Road™ speakers. MHI encloses ring lugs with each boxed pair of black speakers. To ground the speakers properly, insert one of the two ring lugs supplied on the uncoated mounting stem of each speaker, and ensure that the wire is attached to a solid ground.

What is the difference between a triathlon bike and a road bike?

San Francisco Triathlon Club - Newbies Guide
Generally, any bike- a road bike, a mountain bike, a hybrid- can be used in a triathlon. In fact, some courses (many turns, lot's of climbs and descents, are slightly better suited for a classic road bike. However, the bike-leg of a triathlon is basically a time trial. You want to go as fast as you can, using as little energy as possible. A triathlon frame has slightly different geometry.

Do you have battery-operated LED sets?

LED FAQ's, Inirgee, Imaginary Colours, RichWave, Full Wave, ...
Yes! Brand-new for 2006 is our new line of battery-operated LED light strings. They work on (3) AA batteries. Regular alkaline copper top Duracell batteries will operate the lights for over 100 hours (we've actually tested this ourselves on a blue set), and we expect that other good batteries should perform similarly. Red and amber LEDs will probably run longer, green probably about the same, and white somewhat shorter. High-quality rechargeables will only last a day before needing recharging.

Why is using gallery car sets with 32 bike spaces for express service risky?

caltrain.com - Bike FAQs
With the 96-train schedule, Caltrain had no choice but to use the gallery car sets on the additional express train runs. This is a prospect that is not without risk. The risk is to schedule reliability (on-time performance). Since the original launch of Baby Bullets in June 2004, Caltrain has maintained an on-time performance of about 95%. This has led to increased ridership which translates into revenue that the system so desperately needs.

Should I buy a road bike or a tri bike?

Welcome to Playtri
It is always advisable that when you start triathlon, you should buy a road bike first. It handles better and it is more comfortable. You will always need a road bike even if you buy a tri bike later on. If you decide that you enjoy triathlon and want to continue in the sport, then buy a tri bike (and keep your road bike). Road bikes are better to ride in groups and train with.

DOES A PERSON NEED A ROAD BIKE, OR DO SOME RIDERS USE MOUNTAIN AND/OR HYBRID BIKES?

BRAG - Frequenty Asked Questions (FAQ) :::
We see more and more hybrids every year. My personal opinion is that BRAG is easier if you use a road bike with skinny tires because it has less road resistance. And road bikes tend to be lighter weight than fat-tire bikes. Those with mountain bikes may want to put slicks on their bikes. You will never ride alone on BRAG. There will always be someone riding at or near your pace.

Can I ride my mountain bike on the road?

Frequently Asked Questions
Yes, no problem, although they are usually heavier than a road bike, so hence harder work uphill. You will find the ride improved by fitting slick (road) tyres on your mountain bike however. Another area that would benefit you is to buy some pedals that you clip in to. We can offer advice here if need be. More expensive bikes benefit from being lighter, which means they are easier to ride uphill, but ultimately it doesn't matter how expensive a bike is, as long as it's well maintained.

Can I take my quad bike on the road?

Quad Bike FAQ
Quad bikes are designed for off-road use only. They have special low pressure tyres which are not road legal. Most bikes have a fixed back axle, which makes them unsuitable for cornering on hard surfaces. The factory supplied lighting kits do not conform with the Road Traffic Act. From a comfort and vehicle safety standpoint, the ATV must meet certain vehicle harmonic requirements. The answer, therefore, is no .... in almost all circumstances.

Is it difficult to install speakers in my car?

FAQ - Speakers
Speakers may be one of the simpler installations that takes place but can have its complexities. Angled screwdrivers, panel poppers and other automotive tools are required to remove dash or door panels. Another tricky part of a speaker installation is ensuring that the new speakers are installed in phase. Out of phase speakers will have no bass response and poor imaging. Typically, a speaker installation is relatively inexpensive.
