I installed this in a way to avoid any permanent modifications to the bike. No Harley wires were cut or spliced. Improvised on a few steps too.
Note the speakers are harley boom 6.5" because the stock grills are too thick for aftermarket speakers. The harley 'boom' grills are $43/each which may allow some aftermarket speakers to work. They are thinner but they still don't have the room for my particular aftermarket speakers (Infiniti Kappa 62.9i).

- Does the Kicker 6.75" fit in the 2014?
- What did you use for the grill?
- I've heard of problems with the x4.
- I didn't see where OEM screws would hold/lign up with the amp. Do you have pics?
- Finally the wires going under the tank panel isn't noticable so I felt there is little reason to go through the trouble of going under the tank.

very nice sir.. thank you for sharing...
so a few questions in your opinion please.
1.) looks to be enough room for 2 of the PBR amps the way you have that 1 amp mounted. Is that the case?
2.) looking at the speaker "pods" there appear to be ridges running back and forth through the inside of the pod for strengthening I would assume. Will those be in the way of adding any other type of aftermarket 6.5" speaker?
3.) do you think it possible to add something like a BT7P1 7.1" in that pod with it's much larger magnet? I suppose it won't be too much longer before the AM manufacturers come out with adapter rings to mount to the fairing itself.
4.) is there enough "meat" on the inner fairing grill screw holes to accomodate an adapter ring?

No way. These screws are short and there are only 3 holes. Its very tight specs. Besides the pods are providing support to the whole fairing. There are warnings on all instructions and service manual to never run the bike without the pods.

The kickers did not need any modifications they are a perfect fit for the HD speaker pod they measure 6.5" edge to edge but fit in the speaker pod like its oem and they sit just as flush as oem so other speaker grills were not needed.
