Default Getting everything in order

Ok, With the help of you guy's I think I have most if not everything I need. I want to run it by you guy's to see if I'm missing anything before I start installation.

1) Sony MEX-100BT HU
1) SS PN4. 1000D
1) Set of BT 7.1's
1) set of Kicker 41KSC674
1) BT 1005X
1) Boss audio RCA interconnect kit
1) spool of 10 gauge speaker wire. ( I already had)
1) Aluminum amp mounting bracket

Is the stock speaker wire running to the rear side pods sufficient or do you suggest a better speaker wire?

Damn talking about do it right!

Yeah the stock speaker wire is sufficient for the rear pods. I normally use 16awg speaker wire, believe the stock is 18. 10 is huge speaker wire!

The only think you might need is additional ground wire. The Boss kit comes with about 2 feet worth and not long enough to reach the battery.

Last step is getting everything tuned and set up correctly. That will sound great!!

Oh and get some polyfill. It's worth the 10 bucks.

polyfill or polyester batting. You can get a roll at Walmart or Amazon for 10 bucks. You need two thin sheets around your speakers. See these pics:

OK, just for the Batwing side? Not the rear pods?

if you end up needing more ground wire shoot me a pm. i have a bunch of 8g leftover pieces in the shop.

i second the 10g speaker wire being overkill, but if that is what you have it is ok

It's a shame we can't find a cheap way to send this stuff around! Lol
I bought a roll and have enough to do at least 4 more bikes!
