About BOSS Audio Systems MCBK520B Motorcycle Speaker and Amplifier Sound System
Overall Feedback:
76% positive
76% liked its long-lasting battery life, though 24% found it drained quickly
I suggest mounting the system using a relay to prevent battery drainage.
I suggest not wiring the speakers straight to the battery as it can result in a dead motorcycle even if powered off. Instead, I recommend buying a 6$ power interrupter switch or wiring them past the ignition line.
The speaker system's battery died after 10 days of use and even after charging, it was not able to take a jump start. I tested the battery and it was at 4 volts. I plan to test it again tomorrow to see if it's toast or not.
77% appreciated its bluetooth connectivity, but 23% experienced dropouts
While cruising on side roads at 40-60km/h, the sound is good and clear, but the FM signal can get choppy at times.
I am having difficulty working with the mounting brackets and cannot get them tight enough.
I faced issues with playback while going over bumps. After soldering every connection and mounting the amp in a way that nothing touches any buttons, the issue was resolved.
78% liked its rugged and durable design, though 22% experienced issues with water ingress
I was surprised by the durability of the product and plan to mount this system on all my future motorcycles.
I was planning to install the speaker system on my Harley to replace the existing one for more volume, but it never got past my workbench due to the issues mentioned earlier.
76% found it easy to install, while 24% had difficulties with wiring
I found the system easy to install with good sound quality even when turned up.

76% praised for its versatile mounting options, though 24% found the clamps flimsy
The mounting brackets are difficult to work with and I am not able to get them tight enough, causing the speakers to roll slightly towards me.
The mounting hardware looks cheap and is a bit of a pain to adjust, but it can fit lots of different size bars.
The speaker mounting brackets are of poor quality and not suitable for mounting the speakers.
To prevent battery drainage, I recommend mounting the system using a relay. It would have been helpful to know this before purchasing.
76% liked its lightweight and portable design, while 24% found it heavy and bulky
I am going to install it on my Harley to get more volume.
79% praised for its crystal-clear sound, but 21% found it lacking bass
I find the sound quality annoying to listen to as it sounds tinny.
