did I pose this question improperly? I'm pretty much a total noob when it comes to car audio let alone the rats nest that lives under the faring.

cool, that was my suspicion I just wanted to verify. What do you typically use for the power source to turn the amp on and off?

thanks man, it's coming along. Got the power wires run for the amp today and I'm going to run the speaker wires for the tour pack tomorrow then get my tank back on. Speakers should arrive early next week. Nothing but rain in the Seattle forecast for the next week so this is a good time for the bike to be down.

you absolutely want to leave those horizontal brackets in place. Modify if need be and put them back but DO NOT leave them out of the install process. These brackets help to stabilize the outer edges of the inner and outer fairing so it doesn't flex in 80MPH winds and eventually crack
