Good to know - Thank you!

I have reached out to Badd *** Bikes about their amp mount. It sounds like I am going to go with the Power Acoustik RZ4-2000D 2000W Class D 4 Channel Amplifier running my front speakers for now, then connect the lower speakers when I work up to them.

Any suggestions about the install? Is this a good amp for a simple system?

Personally I'd spend a lil extra and go with the SS pn4.1000d. It just opens up more doors for you later down the road.

Bates - I am going to pick your brain. I have been reading threads for a few hours now. What amp mount do you use? Will it work with the SS you posted? Will it work without trimming the gauges? What else do I need to know?

I want to make this the final time I mess with the audio in the fairing. I am going to run the wires for the lowers now, in case I decide to upgrade them later. I will just cap them off in the lowers, so that they don't get damaged.

I use a mount that I got from Badd Azz Bikes but honestly I'm not sure if they are still making thus mount. If so, the SS amp will fit on there without any modifications.

Well... They got back to me and they don't have any, with no ETA on getting more. I guess I will need to find a new mount option. I found this one on Ebay. (https://www.ebay.com/p/Harley-Davids....c100011.m1850)

I need to do some measuring to make sure it will fit.

Make sure you use an audio grade true 8 gauge power and ground and don't forget an in-line fuse for the power wire. Also, don't skimp on the RCA cables either. 12-18" quality cables.

I plan on doing this exact same set up please post pictures! What kind of radio are you using? I just removed the non working factory radio and I am looking to get a radio for my system
