For those of you who have installed "speaker cloth" to minimize water intrusion, any issues with sound quality? Where did you get the speaker cloth? I assume you attached it to the underside of the grills?

Many ways to install, from getting headliner spray and attaching it to the inside of the grill, to the simplest install of just holding it over the face of the speaker, as ur mounting the speaker in place.

Nope, nothing missing. All went together really well. My next step is to wire the Titans into my BT 2180. I checked my box but didn't see any wiring diagram. When I called and ordered they made it sound it was a piece of cake. I believe I am running them in parallel so no line leveler. Does this mean I wire right off of the fairing speakers?

If so the BT6.5's will plug directly into the BT2180 to run them in parallel. The existing LL will is all you need. There will be no fade between the uppers and lowers.

Correct. That's on tonight's agenda. I found a couple of challenges along the way. First, the location of the hole I drilled to run the wires. Based on my interpretation of HD instructions, the back fairing piece was fairly tight and couldn't pull the wire after it was buttoned up. I loosened it up a bit to pull the wire but a little concerned if vibrations will rub the wire. And, there is a small gap on top of the fairing. Second, mounting the grill/speakers was a PIA. You need to make sure the well nuts are in place so they don't push though. I think it would be better to mount the speakers, then mount the grills separate. Just my opinion of course.
