P1000 2018 1000-5 Deluxe - Bumblebee *updated*

[shark99]

I was so tired of spending three to four hours washing my Rzr HighLifter, and to be honest the Rzr wasn't much use around the house.
I decided to trade in the speed/mud machine for a practical use machine.
I went with the 2018 Honda 1000-5 in Yellow.

Here is what I have done so far and will have pics to follow.

PBR products switch plate with cup holders
MicTuning rocker switches
Kenwood KD-T900-BTS head unit
Kicker 800.5 five channel amp
2 ProBox CBA69XL speakers
2 ProBox Pro-I-10 Tower subwoofers
2 Kicker L7's subwoofers
Rock lights
30" single row light bar
1 pair of dually light on the front bumper
Honda winch
Honda hard top roof
**Updated add on's**
Honda Bed extender
Thor Jack and light holder

In the next few days I will be adding the Snorkel based on the specs from member
Adam490 as well as rear door storage.

The day I bought her.

My stereo install. What I can’t figure out is why a lot of people point their tower speakers to the rear of the machine. I don’t care about everyone else listening, I want to feel the music as I ride.

Rocklight install and rocker switch install. Love how the blue goes with the yellow.

I painted the front tow hooks today using John Deere Yellow. It was the closest I could find to match.

Nice looking setup and I totally agree about the tower speakers. Never understood why everyone else has to hear it better than the person in the machine.

My Husky loves going for rides.

The stereo install turned out nice and it sounds amazing. It helps to have a cold beverage as I work on electronics.

Looks like your off to a really good start, I like the yellow.

Nice looking ride! Like what you’ve done so far. That’s the same name as my old P5 Bumblebee

Looking good @shark99 !

Welcome, and good looking ride. I have a question how is the head clearance with the tower speakers for back seat passengers? I have been debating put 2 in the same place? Also how is the bass from the pro box 10?

The tower speaker clearance is perfect. I have twin 19 year olds and they fit in it with no issue. I angled the 10's up a little so they are at a 45 degree down fire, so that might have helped.
The ProBox 10's are loud and sound great. I use them as a mid range and they thump pretty good. I have not used them strictly for bass, but I am sure they would sound great.
I had to return some damaged items to Probox here in the Dallas area and they gave me a tour of their facility. They recently came out with some 9x12's and they demo'ed them for me in their traveling showroom. I was 30 feet away and felt it in my chest. Awesome products if you ask me.

Thanks for the feedback. I am trying decide what to do. I want so.e additional bass and rear speakers. I currently have some kicker 6" in the front. Cant decide on 2 more 6" towers I. The back and a sub on the floor in the front or bigger towers in the back.

How did you get the accent lights around the headlights?

 

[shark99]

Decided it was time to add a bed extension. I did this for two reasons. When it's just the wife and I riding, I can put the subwoofer box in there along with a cooler, and when the kids are riding, I can either put the sub box or a cooler (or both depending on the cooler)
I also do not like riding without a spare tire and jack, so I will be adding that as well. Here is what I have so far.

Another update to the Honda.
The original switch plate and radio in the dash didn't work out. I did a thorough wash on the machine and the radio wiring got wet and shorted out. Decided to upgrade to the Rockford Fosgate PMX-2 waterproof radio and a new switch plate. This radio rocks better than the Kenwood stereo.
Also added rear LED lights.
