P500 The Stereo Itch

[rocmar]

Got the Rukinds on the headlights and did the half shield. Couldn't mount the little Boss's where I wanted to, they were too big and the clamps are sized for handlebars. Ended up tucking them under the dash, angled in a little on each side. They're up out of the way and it gives them a corner to bounce sound out of. Mounted the amp and pulled some wire but can't do much more until I get that grille.
Noticed that the little volume button kinda sucks for mounting anywhere, made to zip tie to handlebars, not mount in a dash...I'll come up with something.

Do you have any videos where you use this technique! I can think of a LOT of times I wished for a solution like that.

I prefer silicone as my liquid duct tape, you can get it off if you really want to. It's like Franks Red Hot, I put that sh** on everything.

Finally got the bigger grille for the sub, much better. Got the toolbox put back on the machine and started putting the electrical box back together. The new sub tucks tight under the lip inside the toolbox and prevents it from bouncing upward, couple of strategically placed L brackets and she'll be good to go. It's getting there.

All wired up and put back together, what a pita stereos can be sometimes.
Wired everything up and had engine noise through those little Boss speakers. Went through everything I had done already, seperating, loom and tying back above skids. Still had engine noise! Dug into a box of old stereo sh** and found a ground loop isolator for RCA's that I haven't used in 20 yrs, a coiled noise suppressor, it worked. But I essentially had to go through it all 3 times. Ugh, never easy.
Need to put brackets on the sub box to hold it in place, then tune everything. Played with it a little bit...it hits.
