Default Road Glide upgrade

X-mas in August! Diamond Audio upgrade about to begin for my 16 Road Glide Ultra. Hopefully I'll have it all installed by next weekend.

Do you audio guru's think this block of foam I put on the end of the amp for a shock absorber/stabilizer will cause the amp to overheat? It's some of the foam that was in the box for the amp.

The install is nearly complete, just going to mess with the amp a little more. Then put the fairing back on and go for a tunes test ride!

I'm not sure id stick foam around the end of an amp. They can get really hot and need air.

That is what I was afraid of. I have another idea for padding/securement I think I will try that will allow the amp to have more air. I'll update as soon as it's all done on my next days off.
