Default SD 1200.4 amp on SGS

Looking for ideas on the best way to mount a SD 1200.4 in the front fairing of a 2015 SGS. I searched the web and tried the recommended 1x6 pvc board. This will not work, bc it will not allow me to attach the front fairing. The amp rides too high for the fairing. I've installed the new speakers and ready to button this last piece up.. Thanks

I have bushings. The issue is only 1 hole from the amp will line up in the fairing to mount it. I'm sure I'm missing the obvious answer. I just don't see it. My RF had an amp bracket which made it easy.

You really need nothing more than some of the 3M Velcro to secure the amp.

You know the type I'm referring to? Takes a flat head screwdriver to get that **** apart.

Did you mean
Velcro ALFA-LOK Velcro ALFA-LOK
? Alternatively, there is
3M Dual Lock 3M Dual Lock
, or the consumer version which is called
Scotch Extreme Scotch Extreme
(and can be found in smaller quantities). I've not tried ALFA-LOC but the 3M **** is really ****ing strong
