Amp Install Questions

I am planning out my amp installation project, which will consist of (2) two amps powering (6) six speakers. Anyone have issues with mounting power and ground blocks on Biketronics speaker brackets. I would like to mount power centric stuff on throttle side of fairing and amp/line-levers on opposite side.A Stinger spx700x4 will power mains and a kenwood 400 watt amp will power the lower pods. I am open to suggestions for an alternate micro amp for lowers.

You probably give a bit more info. Bike, deck, speakers and location.

I would do without the Break out harness. I have not used my fader unless I am tuning. Ditch the Kenwood amp. Get rhe Stinger and a NVX VDAM4 and with the money you save on the harness get a set of speakers. I am sure there are better options.

I bought the breakout harness and line levelers a while back. Didn't want to clip factory harness. I will switch the amp out to what you suggested. The speakers are next, see how much overtime i get in the next month. Any issues with mounting power/ground block to biketronics speaker brackets?

So i installed the stinger amp and holy heck, that made a huge difference compared to the previously installed Hogtunes set up. I only have four of six speakers online. I am still awaiting the nvx amp. Space inside the batwing fairing is very tight.
