So here is what I came up with to stabilize/cushion the amp. A small piece of weather strip foam on top of the headlight for the amp to rest on. A section of plumbers tape that goes around the end of the amp from one headlight mounting bolt to the other with a piece of weather strip foam stuck to it on the amp side.

So here are my thoughts on the MO75 horns after putting some miles down the road...

They are extremely loud and clear. I can hear the vocals of the music easily up to around the 90 mph mark, and I have some messed up hearing, so I'm sure you folks with "normal" hearing would definitely appreciate these speakers for that extra boost in the high range of your music.

The only thing that I can think of that might make them better would be the ability to focus the output of the sound to anywhere you would like it with a turnable/rotatable horn, instead of just coming straight out from wherever the speaker will be mounted.

I am also a little concerned with water getting inside them through the horn when washing or sitting out in the rain or such. But that is just because of the angle they sit at on the Road Glide grills.

I'm happy with them, very loud in the saddle, out of the saddle chilling, and even from the seat of another bike while riding in formation.

P.S.
DO NOT wire up at 2 ohm and pump the juice to them.....ear hurting, ear piercing, shriekingly loud.
