Default Arc Audio Amp Install?

I will be receiving the 5 1/4 speakers and the 125.2 amp this coming week. I have heard nothing put praise about this audio system. Does anyone have any pics of their installation or helpful hints about the install?

Yeah, I did a search and it was somewhat helpful. Just looking for more info. and besides, I can't wait until it gets here. I'm coming from J&M's with no amp. I hope there will be a huge difference.

I'd consider the adapters and 6 1/2 speakers, 5 1/4 speakers have too much treble for me. My opinion.

don't rush the tuning after you get it installed and powered up. It may save you the trouble of having to remove the fairing again just to tune it.

+1 I recently installed the adaptors and 6.5" speakers. Huge difference. The 5.25" were loud with the amp - but it was all treble. Now the system really rocks!
