Fairing Question
Hi I have a 2007 Street Glide and would like to install a power amp for the stereo. Most bike specific amps are aroung 300.00 and I don't want to spend that much. Boss has a marine amplifier that is much cheaper but I do not know if it woll fit beneath the fairing. The dimension are:
Height: 2 5/8"
Width 10 3.8"
Length 11 3/4"
Does anyone know of this will fit beneath the fairing?
Thanks

RE: Fairing Question
I am thinking of getting an amp from Biketronics too. Expensive, but I heard a Street Glide in Memphis that had an amp and his system was rocking the street!
Figure that will be my christmas present to myself this year.

RE: Fairing Question
it will not fit. Spend the dough and get the HD amp that mounts under the tour pak. at Chicago HD you can get the unit for 20% off and do the job right. Why spend 20k for a bike and risk destroying your electrical system or fairing by mounting something that does not fit. Spend a couple hundred more and get some hogtune speakers and you will really rock and have no problems. Trying to save money on a Harley is a sure fire way to eventually destroy it.

RE: Fairing Question
Most of the bikes made for harleys i.e. biketronics and hawg wired are real tiny and are clean as far as performance goes. However they are a hefty price. I was on the verge of gettina hawgwired amp but decided to go a diffferent route and am now running a 400 watt amp fosgate amp and threw it in 1 of my bags. I went a bit further and added 6x9's in the bags. Yes 1 of my bags is basically only 30% now because of the electronics. My other bag is 80%. Im ok with losing space, cuz all I need is a bag from tbags or some other company close and throw everything in there if i were to go some serious long trips.

I put the Amp in from Hog Tunes. I had it velcroed to the top of the radio unit under the fairing. Very Happy with it.

RE: Fairing Question
I ran my bike for a couple of decades with a small regular automotive amp double sticky taped to the inside of the faring. It was probably 7x1.5x4" or so. I had it just to the left of the right speaker, and down a bit. It doesn't get wet in there anyway. If you can find a place and an amp that fits that place, you should be fine. I dunno about 400 watt amps, though. That mighh tbe kinda big. You have some neighbors you don't like or something? Anyway, if you have to, cut a block of wood or make a cardboard box the size of the amps and put it where you think it might fit and see what happens when you put the faring back on.

RE: Fairing Question
I've spent a lot of time inside my fairing and more recently, inside my buddy's '06 police model EG installing an HD headunit with CB. IMHO, about the only possible (emphasis on "possible") location is on top of the headunit and I don't think there is enough room there. But you could pull the fairing (seven screws) and measure the distance between the two vertical, black fairing brackets above the headunitand the depth to see if the amp will fit.
