After buying all the equipment over the last year, we finally made time to give my father his new audio system yesterday. I want to thank Chris for giving a hand and helping me get this done for the old guy.
His bike is a 2013 Ultra, we installed a BT4180, Focal KRC165's in the fairing and a set of AD CX62's in the TP pods.
He was still running the factory 2oz paper weights.
Install went great except for having a bad LOC and swapping for the 2nd one that came with the BT amp.
He rode home last night and immediately texted after getting home to say thanks to Chris and I. He could hear perfect at 75-80mph. (Remember he is 65yr old).
He stuck around all day after his was done while Chris and I worked on ours. 95degrees and Chris won't install Air Conditioning in his garage.
I finally got the nerve to drill my B3's in my inner fairing and finished that install.
All in all it was a great day of just hanging out messing with installs and reinstalls and changes with a good bud and my dad.
Jesus whoever lives there really needs to clean his workbench. What a mess.
Thanks Pete for the opportunity to hang out with your dad, he's a cool dude and I'm happy he's happy
Funniest part about that work bench is probably that it has at least 4 sets of 6.5's 2 sets of 8's and all 3 of those bikes are already loaded with speakers.
someone has issues.
Did you end up removing the inner fairing to mount the horns? Or eyeball it through the frame?
Cool how you guys hooked up the old man. Good karma.
Did not remove the inner fairing, Basically eyeballed the location using one of the trim rings. Needed to find a flat spot for it. After locating the spot we made a template in a mirror image to move it to the other side.
Installed the horns then marked the inner pods so I could trim those. Outer pod did not need trimmed. So I was able to wire them through the pod just like the 6.5's and mounted the capacitor inside the pod too.
