Amp and mount installed, all wiring run, pods are sealed and reattach to bike. Just waiting for the sealant to harden and I will install the speakers tomm. I bought foam backer for the speakers if needed.
I hooked one speaker up to verify the system works. It did, and it was loud, but not much bass. Perhaps it will sound better when the speakers are installed inside the pods and both speakers are plugged in.
Note....the double sided tape on the amp sucked, totally useless. Good thing I had industrial velco. I only used one strip bit wish I used 2, too late now. Based on yours and timbos recommendation , I cut the grommet and reused them. I totally love that I didn't have to cut any wires.
More to come tomm and a video

Install is complete. I didn't use polyfill or foam to seal the speaker. Seems strong at 80mph, but the test will be when momma gets on. While riding , I noticed my front turn signal is out. In certain I plugged the little effer in. Too lazy to crack it open today

Pulled the fairing.....it was eating at me. It's a loose wire in the Molex connector on the side feeding to the headlight. Sounds like warranty work. I'm not replacing that.
I will try the polyfill for the hell of it, although it sounds damn good now. I didn't touch the gains in the BT line leveler.

I don't believe he got it done,, (no video) LOL,, I did use polyfill, not sure if I needed it or not,,, I did NOT seal my pods when I put them back in the fairing,, Tim? What did you seal them with? Silicone Caulk? And why did you think it needed it? Many drill large holes in their pods,, at least on the Batwings I've seen it,,,

Hmm, didn't get that memo, guess it's another reason for me to take it apart and seal it anyway. The dealer here in Goldsboro couldn't get to my flash today, I may take tomorrow off and help out here, (some stressors around our house right now,,,) I feel I lost quite a bit of VOLUME with my current flash and the line levelers,, however I won't judge them until he goes back to stock with my radio. I use a Flash for my music, however that program "Playlist Creator 3.6.2 is kicking my ****,, I don't get good playlists, I have all kinds of " ! " next to them showing an error of some kind. I can play songs,, but they are not organized like I'd like them to be. I found it on here,, instructions are not great, and can't find a good "Playlist Creator for Dummies" tutorial anywhere,,,
