Default Speakers on quad ?

Hi, i no this is a crazy and pointless idea but if i connected say two 200w speakers and an amp to my Recon, would the battery be able to cope only being able to put out 180 cca ? or is this enough ?

ACTUALLY, i have seen this done on a snomobile. i dont know how well it worked in the freezing temperature. but i have seen it done. the only thing im not sure about are your speakers. knowing quite a bit about speakers what is the RMS wattage because i doubt that it is 200 watts RMS. its probably more like 30-50 watts. max watts= max out put for a BRIEF musical period. RMS= the amount of wattage being use most of the time. i assume you are going to use a CD player or something. but honestly i do believe it will work. the alternator isnt as strong as a car/truck, but it will work.

The November DW has a blurb on a system some company has come out with. It is possible, but may be hard to make practical.

My dad goes riding with a bunch(25 or so) buddies and when they stop, they like a little background music. He also sprays with our quad(we farm 2500 arces).....and he checks cows in the mornings,etc........so he likes to listen to the markets,etc.........


He has an outdoor tractor radio(100bucks or so) mounted on the front rack......of the sportsman......and he has an radio shack all weather speaker(not real big, it puts out plenty of noise).......
