Soundstream PN4.1000D .... install assistance
I bought this amp on the feedback from this forum and the fact that it should fit into the fairing of a 2013 Ultra Classic. Today I opened up the front and looking at the space I am thinking how in the heck do guys make this work.
If you installed one of these in an Ultra Classic, can you give me some tips on how you did it? I see no way that this can clear the brackets that hold the HU in. Did you have to cut the tabs of the case of the amp?
Any advice is much appreciated.

I thought there was a thread on an install on 13-down bikes but a search didn't come up with it.

Power Acoustik is the same size as the SS with the brackets off.

Thanks for the replies. From what I can see in the pictures guys are placing the amp on top of the factory HU brackets. This means you need to move the cable harnesses that are there now. It also means that the amp will hang over the actual head unit because you can not push the amp all the way forward due to the screw terminals on the PN4.1000D.
Is this correct? Want to get this right and get this bugger installed the first time. Thanks again.

This sounds ghetto, but in an earlier upgrade I decided to try doing something to see if I could regain FM reception with a class D amp. I cut a piece of 1x6 board the width of the head unit and velcroed it in place. I then velcroed the amp to the board. It didn't help with FM, but it did elevate the amp enough so that my current RZ4 3000D (same size as the SS 1000) fit's without issue. The RCA's are on the throttle side, and stop just short of the vertical fairing support. Fairing went back on without any issue. And btw, velcro works great without having to buy or fabricate a bracket.
