Put almost a full day into finishing up the wiring and am about 90% done. I decided on two junction boxes to support the arm rest command center wiring. I like how it turned out!

Will have to cut a small hole in my triggershield, but for now I will just fold it down.

Stereo Rocks! Still need to make some adjustments and test while riding.

Sound clip or it sounds like a walkie talkie! :D

So...after playing around with tuning the amps and playing with the EQ I have come to the realization that I need speakers. It sound alright with the amp turned up 1/4 of the way and about half volume on the SSV controller, but any more volume and the speakers distort.:( I did run it in the ditch wide open and the Stereo Sounded OK but not what I am used to. Couldn’t get myself to record a video, so sorry!

On a positive note she climbs like a goat:)

Lol, that's what I ended up doing. The cheap sh** was loud and did okay but not what I'm used to either. Don't know which speakers you had distorting but I noticed the Noam's were a bit screechy compared to what's in there now, like they were struggling.

They are 4” BOSS 200 or 300 watt...I can’t remember which but they can’t handle 50 watts, lol. Well I said before it was stage 1 for the stereo! I built a nice foundation to build off just have to figure out which new speakers to get and how to mount them!

Yeah, Boss are crap! They were loud and cheap but that's about it. They were the worst sounding speaker I ever had in this system. No matter how much shielding and isolating I did I had a hell of a time getting the engine noise out of them. Took a ground loop isolator to finally get it out and then you could really hear what they sounded like. :rolleyes:

I am impressed. I am clueless when it comes to electrical, and that looks pretty awesome. I'll bet you had fun doing it.
Wiring it to look like this wasn’t bad! What was bad was detangling the rush jobs through the winter:eek: time consuming to say the least!

The way that I wired it it’ll support changing out aux items such as lights for more powerful lighting. It’s a good foundation for what’ll come next;)

I’m liking this little sucker! Ran it to the next town over in the ditches about 30-35 mph. It was fun. Just need a spot to brace my left foot like the BEAST has,lol. I kept finding my self raising my leg to brace up.

I thought that I found a good deal only to find out it was short a harness.

I have been looking and can’t find it...even called KICKER but they have not called me back yet:mad:

If someone could post a link or provide info that would be great. Thanks:(

I have an idea of what it is.
Can you post a straight on picture of the connector on the amp?
