Default Hit a snag with my install

So after moving things around a few times, and getting everything where I thought it would work, it looks like I need to make some equipment changes. The nose will not go back on with the DSP sitting on top of the Massive on the headlight. Road Glide Special, no amp rack. With all of the RCA's connected there's not enough space to push it back far enough towards the Sony. New plan is to ditch the Micro 2v2 which is under the radio so I can put the DSP there and get a SD250.2 to power the horns. As small as the 250 is I should be able to get it in the cubby behind the the gauges. Another week and we should be ready.

Diamond is under the radio

250 should fit in the open space behind the guage

I have a amp on the headlight and one mounted under the radio with the DSR mounted under that amp. It won't fit there?

One advantage of the Alpine, it's a lot shorter and makes for more room behind the radio.

Do you have horns under the radio? You have a micro under the radio, a massive on the headlight correct? What dsp and where is it currently?

I rerouted cords and the main harness under there so with all of that there probably not. That was my first solution I came up with yesterday.

No horns in that spot as I mentioned above that's where all my wiring is. Yes micro under, massive on the headlight. DSP is a Dayton which is pretty thin.

ok so you move the micro all the way towards the inner fairing under the radio. Push the massive also as far back to the inner on top of the headlight as possible then stand the Dayton up on a 45*ish between the headlight tabs and the radio. That equipment should fit

Yea that DSP will fit behind that radio on top of the Massive, if you have the wires routed out of the way.

This was in mockup, before everything was wrapped and secured but is in place.
