Rain test
Well I guess I'm gonna find out how my new system handles water. It's pouring down at work and my bike is out there. lol
Not ashamed to admit I'm a bit worried.

Stinger amp mmats 601 in the fairing and RF kit in the lids. The mmats have the water resistance option, at least thats what I was told by the installer, and pretty sure the RF speakers are good. Not sure how water tight the RG fairings are, but I didn't lay any plastic of whatever over the amp, though it is kinda jammed up under the HU.

Is it common to have to be so careful?
Are there options where you don't have to worry about the rain?
I'm currently running the Boom Stage 2 stock stuff. Rain doesn't seem to effect it and I've been in the rain, with the system running....heavy rain.

As far as options, when I get around to installing the BT355 line levelers and possibly some mmat 690 cx speakers in the bag lids, I'll probably for my own peace of mind, put some kind of plastic sheeting or something over the amp. Speakers wise, I think you can keep them sprayed with silicone of such to help with water.
