That way when you are stuck, not sure, etc. who are you going to call? Amazon isn't going tell you the best way to set up that amp.

Take a deep breath, and plan this out correctly or you'll hit a few bumps along the way that could've been resolved earlier.

Advice well taken! I have a great reputable shop to do the install just trying to pick up the parts for them to install though I think their labor for amp, head unit, handlebar controls, and sat radio module for hu is kind of high at $200 but maybe I'm wrong.

Alex is there an affordable amp install kit that I could use for a pn4.520d perhaps on amazon?

Trust me bro! If you can get that done for a flat rate of $200 bucks you're good. If this stuff is done right It's very time consuming. Some systems I can install in a day. Others might take 3 days. All depends on what you run into and how many times you have run for parts that you don't have. Any of these guys who have installed their own systems knows exactly what I'm talking about! I've jacked around on one bike for 3 days straight And not 3 regular 8 hour days. Sometimes 12-14 hours. So Yeah. $200 is good.

Excellent! Gonna go with them then.....so I know I'm getting Kappas 62.11 for the front fairing but still up in the air on the amp

Pn4.1000D (what is the PA equivalent again)
Pn4.540D
Cerwin Vega B54

What would you recommend Gann & Alex?

My other thought is to not run the rear tour packs because I take it off often and then they have to install a quick disconnect for the new install right?

Then wouldnt a 4 channel amp allow me to run fairing and lower pods off it?

Nice find! The only concern I have with that is I could never run lower pods with that amp right?

I charge at least double that. Be careful who's doing the install for that low of a price.

The shop that's doing the install has done quite a few for people I know and they have a great reputation, but Alex I'm gonna look into it more just to be safe.
