Sena SMH10R speaker mod

So I was less than impressed with the sound quality of the speakers that come with the SMH10r so I decided to try a little mod. I had a nice pair of Denon headphones that I sat on and broke. So I figured they would be perfect for this. I took them apart and instantly I was able to see the difference in speaker quality. I tried testing the sound of the Denon and the Sena back to back but the Sena what much much louder. My guess was there is a build in amp in the Sena system. So I went ahead and cut the wires to both the speakers (committed now) and wired up the Denon speaker to the Sena system. Bingo! Huge improvement is sound quality and was even louder then the Sena system was. The little speaker was blasting and you could even pick up a bit more bass when I put the helmet on. To my surprise, the Sena wires are a lot better than the ones from the Denon headphones so I plan to go get a soldering iron and connect the sena wires directly, this will also ensure better fit and finish. Overall I must say I am very pleased with the way the project is coming along. I will post more when finished .
