He must not get out much !

My friends say the same thing about mine, but I know that they sometimes tell lies !!

My system is here. I rock a pair of the Alpine PDX 4.150's !!

I had an issue with tweeters and spacers too !! Be patient !!! You'll get it ..

Your system should sound really good. You'll be pleased ! Nothing beat having your favorite tunes blasting , while the wind blows through you hair !!!

GP,

Keep in mind my fairing hold 6x9s. You don't see to many of those around here. As a matter of fact I have only seen 1. It is common to see speakers in the bags though. I am running the same amp as you, but I'm currious as to why you need 2? We got the problem fixed and I will pick the bike up tomorrow. My bike sounds great.

Did you run an extra battery? I wish I would have bought a chopped tour pak and put the amp and extra battery in there.

No extra battery, and so far, no problems. They tell me that the digital Alpine amps don't use much power.

I added a battery and it's real small so no complaints there. I am not too happy about giving up an entire saddlebag though. I might see if I can move my amp.

If the grills are metal you may be able to form them.
Get a piece of wood the size of the grills.In the area where the curve is needed,carve/sand the curve in the wood.Clamp the grill to the wood around the outside edges and use a wood dowel with a radius on the end.Form the grill with the dowel and hammer.
