Did anyone installed a stereo system on a M3W? or is there a ready Stereo kit for it?

I am planning on taking a long tour around Europe in a M3W for a round 4 months and I can't see my self with out music in this long road trip. Any ideas and suggestions ?

Don't have mine yet, but based on my test drive I'd suggest in-ear passive noise cancelling headphones.

I've driven an M3W a few times, I can't possibly imagine how you would hear a stereo.

Not to be snarky, but consider a Toyota instead.

Aside from the fact that no matter what type of system you use...in car or in ear...you won't hear it very well over the racket...why would you want to diminish or distract from the experience? The joy of the M3W is being outside in the elements...of which the sounds of the car (and nature whizzing past you) are such a major part of the true entertainment.

I tried the smaller beats but it wasn't as good...even this isn't loud enough

Saying "not to be snarky" makes it no less snarky. Or very helpful to the brother asking the question.

The factory offer an intercom system that has mixed reviews. It allows you to connect your phone via bluetooth and play that to speakers you can mount in your helmet. And also speak to your passenger. If you google "motorcycle intercom" you can probably find a good aftermarket alternative. Lots of the online motorcycle accessory stors carry them. I hope that is helpful.

I think if you are intending to use the stereo while driving and use open speakers then you would need a very powerful amplifier to hear the stereo, probably too loud for everyone outside the car!

I don't have a M3W but on my very loud tractor I use a pair of high spec 3M ear defenders with Apple ear buds inside. It sort of works but I can still feel the vibrations from the tractor.

I tried noise cancelling headphones (the type you get for use on aircraft) but they seemed to be tuned to aircraft type noise and did not work well with the tractor (which I assume is a similar noise to an M3W).

When using the ear defenders when I turn the music up I cannot hear anything from outside which might be a little dangerous when driving.

regardless of your comment.
I traveled around Europe and other parts of the world for extended periods in Cars and in motorcycles and lastly in a 3 wheeler (Can-Am RT). Without trying to be smart or overly romantic over the idea of riding a Morgan, my rides and trips exceeds any of your short rides to the local bars and Parks. Such long drives that reaches 1000 miles a day some times can't do without Entertainment and music. This is reality.

Oh, I'm not being snarky, you'd know it if I was. I answered your question, I think you asked something that unfortunately for you cannot be answered to your satisfaction, so your expectations are in need of adjustment. There's no way you can hear music in an M3W...the volume required would result in distortion and noise, and if you use some type of ear covering, that would cancel out the sounds you actually need to be aware of what's going on around you and drive safely.

I wouldn't plan on driving 1000 miles a day, either..have you driven one?...maybe a test drive would provide the information you're seeking here.
