Need 8 gauge power and ground to the battery.
A 60 amp inline fuse on the power cable.
16 gauge wire for your speakers.
6.5 adapters if you have not purchased them already. (Depending on year of bike)
You will also need a 1.75 - 2.0" hole saw to drill holes in your grills for your tweeters.
RCA's for the amp.

Since you are bridging the amp in the fairing and the D4 has about 6-8"on the RCA plug harness you can probably get by with 1 BT355 and 2 Y-splitters (one for left ch and one for right ch). That will help clean things up. When i put the D4 in my 15' SG I had to knock off the mounting hole tabs on the amp and notch out two small bulges in the stock amp tray for the D4 to fit. If you use the J&M tray, it fits no problem.

I ended up not modifying the stock tray. It's a tight fit but it did work.

I would use the 2 BT355s. One for the front amp and one for the rear amp. Fade comes in handy.

Call BT Donna and she will hook u up with the correct plug and play LL for the rear.

This would be if you don't care about having fade control. 2 BT line controls would be needed for front to rear fade control unless I am missing something (highly probable).SF

You cheated with the zip ties lol. Looks good though. I only cut things since I already cut up my stock tray for my Fix86.
