Default Question on Hogtunes Install

I have recently purchased the Hogtunes Big Ultra kit and tweeter pod./ I'm planning to do the install soon, but had a question. The instructions show to route the wiring over the top of the tank. Would it be better to pull the tank and route the wiring under the tank? It't not that much work really and seemed like that would be a cleaner install.

If you mount it under the tank, .......it makes future projects, ( that require tank removal ), that much easier..........It's AMAZING how many wires are stuffed under an ULTRA tank !!

Go under the seat. Takes no more than ten minutes to get the tank off and yes I agree it will look that much cleaner. As GP said it really is amazing just how many freaking wires are under there.

Thanks for the advice. That's exactly what I was thinking, just wanted another opinion. I haven't removed my tank before, but it seems pretty simple.
