Default Lower fairing speaker question?

OK guy's, Thank's to numerous people here, including Haze, Time to add more sound! Last October, I Went with a Sony HU, SS1000 Amp, BT controller to retain the handlebar controls and BT 7.1's in the batwing. I put some Pioneer speakers in the TP pods at the same time. System is killer. Now I just ordered the Arc 602's for the lower fairing as most of my everyday riding is without the TP. My question is, How is everyone running the speaker wire to the lowers? Drilling holes in the crash bar or just hiding them along the crash bar? Just curious, Thanks

Just run the wires underneath the crash bar to the side of the neck. Go to wal-mart and pick up some black corrugated loom wire protection with the slits. Cable tie the loom to the crash bar and run the loom to the amp. Make sure the loom is just large enough to cover the 16ga. wire.

Something like this:

OK, Thanks ! Already have a spool of that stuff, I use it everywhere a wire is run.

Thanks Haze, Ya that's the plan. Seeing how the TP will be off more than it is on, I was thinking BT's on the front channel and Arc's n Pioneers on the rear. Of course, Before I button it all up again I will be asking for amp setting's again, haha !
