I didn't feel the screws supplied with the speakers were a big enough diameter so I used some "fatter" ones, also shorter as the ones you get are kind of long and will stick out the fronts of the pods. I am assuming you are going to put the speakers "IN" the pods (split the pods in half to install)

Do you have a solder gun, solder, heat shrink, wire harness material, wire connectors (a "t" tap to get power from somewhere for remote amp turn on)?? I pulled power from the cigarette lighter (purple wire) but I spliced and soldered.

Let us know how it goes!

Why? Your rear speakers will not be able to keep up. Might as well just not even install rears if you're gonna amplify the fronts.

You know Eshaw this is so confusing, I talked to the people at Biktronics and they said that's the way I should set it up, I was going to get the Fosgate Power amp t400ad, but I thought it may be to much on the charging system. The magic box only works for the front and if use for the rear would be loosing the controls, and I don't what to have anything to do with the dealer flashing. I don't need musch more power than I currently have with stock so hopefully it will still be OK.

Oh and BTW I spoke with cycle sound and they will come up with a magic box for the rear in less than a month. I will then get the second PBR 300x2 for the rear. Like I said I don't want to deal with the dealer flashing BS.

I would put 2 PBR300x2 amps (1 front and 1 rear) before I put that AD amp in there. I cannot get the guys at Bagger Nation to respond to any emails about the installation and it's use with these limited charging systems.
