Default 16 RG fairing install questions

1. Waterproofing a RG fairing
I installed a Soundstream stealth amp and when the dealership washed my bike it fried my amp. So now im installing a Moto 600.4 and a Psm and want to protect my equipment. Suggestions please.

2. Porting road glide speaker pods?
Im installing Mmats 6.5s in the factory pods. I see that its common place to remove the pods in street glides and just use a mounting plate but not much is mentioned about the RG.

thank you in advance

I also noticed that ARC recommends installing the PSM in the little cubby next to the head unit. That is where my SS amp was installed and was fried.

1. The Arc products have treated/coated boards. I've had water get into a fairing before and both those products have been fine.

2. No "porting" of pods needed and they sound great in the RG pods.
