Line leveler came today. Got it all hooked up and tuned and sounding awesome. The amp is a pretty tight fit and the outer fitting is definitely hard to get on with the amp and is leaning a gap near the left mirror area. I left just a little space for the wiring and the connectors from the gauges and didnt really put the amp any closer to cause issues with pinching wires. Maybe leaning to a different amp that is smaller, perhaps a 2 channel amp that I can bridge and be able to really push these speakers to the max.

Brother you can only bridge a 2ch amp to 2 speakers if they're 8ohm. Try rearranging your harnesses and get the amp pushed as far back as possible.

well I got it to fit better. Took the bike for a ride today to test things out. At first I thought I had an issue with the audio cutting out but it actually my GPS that was on for some reason and the lady inturpting to tell me to turn. I have her volume turned way down. Turned the GPS off, problem solved.Love the upgrade! One thing I noticed now is that when turning the bike on, the radio is very slow to turn on.

Takes a long time to get to the accept screen. After I accept, instead of the radio coming on right away, there is a 15-20 second delay with a black screen with the time and a harley logo. Never had this issue before. Anyone have this dilemma before?
