You think you're going to hear the bass guitar on a radio with 2" speakers mounted on the handlebar?
What I'm saying is, for $10 or less, you can get some open air headphones for use on the bike, and if you keep the volume to the point where it has the same apparent volume as you would have turned the radio on the handlebars up to, it will GUARANTEED sound better than some crappy speaker on the handlebar, it'll be cheaper, and you'll still be able to hear the surrounding sounds as well.
Or you can spend more money on speakers and have worse sound.
If you really want good sound, buy some Koss PortaPros. Those sound better than any earbuds. Unless you're looking for artificially enhanced bass. Personally I listen to my music as recorded.
