Just installed my arc amp, used a piece of 2" aluminum flat stock with 2 #8x3/4 machine screws through the inside of the fairing one through the rear hole of the amp one toward the front of the flat stock ,painted the heads black, . You don't notice the screws on the fairing and the amp is mechanically fastened and SOLID, I just don't trust Velcro and ties to last forever. JMO. Thanks for the help Wayne the amp and speakers rock,let me know when you figure out the larger speakers.

Industrial strength velcro should work fine. I used 2" aluminum and fabricated a custom mount bracket. I didn't have to drill any holes in the fairing but it took a bit of imagination to complete the job.

The biggest problem with this intall is that you are having the Dealer do the work!! Most work done at most dealers is marginal at best. Do the work yourself..........
