Talking Arc amp and speaker install AWSOME

I received my arc amp, speakers rings, harness, dynaxorb, and 6.5 inch speakers yesterday from Firecap. I read long and hard on this forum and others to make the best possible buy for the money spent. I decided to to go Wane and did not regret it!

The equipment went into my 08 SG. It took me approximately 3 hrs of putzing around in the garage to get everything installed. This is my first Harley so if i can do it you can too. The hardest part is running the power lines under your tank without taking your tank off. There is a new wiring kit that is essentially plug and play, and it took me a bit to figure out how the rings/speakers went in.

I decided not to get a new HU until the warranty expires. That not being done the system still sounds excellent with the new upgrades. Now if i can wait that LONG to get a new HU, it will most likely make the setup phenomenal.

I have to give a shout out to KopperTop's posting about the ring installs that really help. I didn't have to call Wayne until I the very last part. Wayne thanks for the great service and great product.

Once I get on the road I will leave some more feedback.

Smile Arc Audio ks125.2 install

Installed mine last week. Super upgrade with stock HK head unit.

You're right about running the power harness to the battery.Big pain without removing tank.

Stellar customer service from Firecap.

He's my audio guy for life....

Sorry, forgot to take pictures. Gascan has done a better job of it than I ever could. Check out his pictures in the sticky section.
