you're going to have to slide it as far back as it will go, up against the speedo and tach housings and under the wiring harness.

mine are set at 6 front, and 5 rear. (2 amps) perfect balance with fader being set in mid position. If you don't have a piece of foam behind the frt speakers and attached to the inside of the outer fairing, it's a good investment to make. Much cleaner bass response you'll discover.

take a look at J&M's website and you'll see the foam pieces they use. http://www.jmcorp.com/ProductDetail....ctID=FSAP-HDCL

Dynomat is used for sound deadoning a noisy door panel or speaker installation not for acoustic purposes.

Hey Ultra got a ? For you. I have the fosgate 300x4 amp with 4 fosgate p165 (6.5 speakers) w/ a Kenwood after market deck. My question is about the gain & amp settings. I'm getting so much power to the speakers that I'm not even allowed to turn it up past 20 on the stereo. Can you give me some advise on how to fix this prob? Thx
