Rokker amp is.....

10 5/8 long x 5 wide x 1 5/8 tall.

I also have a pic of my amp installed on the side. You can see the space from the bottom of the amp to the fairing mount. Up top of the amp, there is lots of room. I'll try to do a mockup of it on the other side of the fairing but it will be pretty hard to take a pic while holding the amp. I'm securing mine with velcro when I do the install.
I think the 6 7/8 wide is gonna kill you. . . You will be the first. I'm interested to know if it fits as well. Like Nutz said lot of talk on the Roadglide forum. No pics and No video of an actual install. I know dam well it won't fit in the batwing fairings. . .I WISH it did. . lol

Im the one talking (at least as far as I know) about putting that amp in the fairing. Like I said, I haven't had a chance to mock it up but from the looks of it inside the fairing, it SHOULD slide right in there. Hopefully im not shooting myself in the foot on this one. If it doesnt fit, i will make it fit...how's that sound? Lol.

At one time I thought I could get a JL600/6 in my fairing. Made a mock up from the dimensions off the JL Audio website out of cardboard and had it mounted on top of the radio with the outer fairing back on. Was sure it would fit.

Then I bought one and tried stuffing it in there with all the wiring. Didn't work out.

Hope Eshaw has better luck than I did. I was sure it would fit.

Dam . . Wouldn't that be nice! a 600/4 in the fairing! I'd be in Hog heaven! Only way we could do it Pioneer is set it up like Nutz and Glacier in the tour pak. . .Two of them bad boys. . But I think your 4180 is just as nice!! and it fits! Speaking of which I have a question about the 4180. Does it automatically adjust the gains for distortion? How does that work on the 4180?

Totally automatic. I installed my lids and BT 6x9's over the weekend and plugged them into the harness Bill made me. Totally freaking awesome. I got the EQ settings where I like it on the Kenwood I'm ready to ride. Should be mid fifties and sunny this Sunday.

I'm second guessing installing the Pioneer's now.

Sweet! I like it! Just purchased my Sony 310 in 2012. I might be looking at a Kenwood next year. Only I'm thinking flip out screen with Navigation. It never ends. . .
