Default Audio System Wiring Diagram

I'm no expert by any means...just thought I'd draw out my plans for installing the audio system in my new fairing. I'm looking for feedback on this...does this all look correct?

what year and model bike are you installing this system on?
in its most basic terms id say you are close except for the outputs from your head unit to your amp.
again, being more specific on bike year and model will be a great help to us to get you on track

The pic looks are deceiving. From the output of the amp, channel 1/2 to front left/right and channel 3/4 to rear left/right. From the pic, it appears that the left front/rear are on channel 1/2. If you wire it that way, setting the gains for the front will not get the full potential output to the rears if running 6.5's in the front and 6x9s in the rear. As Yoop asked, What does your setup consist of including speakers and locations?

It's a 4-channel amp, and I'm putting 4 speakers in the fairing... not two. Here's a sample pic:

No. Why? I'm assuming you're asking because it's not equipment that's up to the "caliber" you'd recommend (I see that you're in the "custom audio" business). I did a ton of research on the components I got, so I'm confident in their reliability and output...and honestly that's what I could afford. I had similar components on my previous FLHR and was very happy with them and the sound they produced. I'm not on this forum to keep you in business. I simply asked the question about the diagram and if it looks like it would work.
Thanks.
