Default New Road Glide Stereo System

Here is my new system. Not installed yet, but as soon as I get the bike back from getting raked ill throw it all in. Pretty excited, cant wait to hear it if was worth the coin!
Rockford Amp
JL C5-650x for the stock location
JL C5-650 facing forks and tweeters to replace 2 of the gauges

All this will be controlled by an alpine head unit that is already installed

I used the same amp with rockford fosgate speakers in all 4 holes. Measure measure. Sounds good but still have stock radio for now not enough control not alot of bass, but definate loud. Everyone I ride with can hear it.

The factory location should just be a basic bolt in with adapters right? I know the inside ones facing the fairing are going to take a little more work. Anything I should be aware of? Any pictures?

Also I placed the Amp on right side with commercial velcro turned sideways, biggest thing is outer screws on side of plastic of forks i removed the washers to gain a small amount of clearance. It was touching the grills when bars turned by them.
