Yes I talked to Randy this morning. He had me send pictures to him. I have not heard back from them yet. But the more I think about it I have to have some kind of splitter for the RCA's because there's just one set in the front channel. I'm sure a whole wiring harness is missing.

I was stoked that everything came together. Thursday the speaker lids and everything arrived on time. Then Friday I got all the stereo equipment and the gasket sealer for the rear deck speakers. So I took a deep breath started taking things apart and was getting more more excited but also a little bit more confused how it was going to work. That is when I contacted Todd had we discovered that there was parts missing.
Now I am really kind of hacked that I'm halfway through this. I've got the bike is torn apart and I'm looking at least a couple days delay just to get the extra stuff here. I will say this too though all the boxes look like they've been stored in someone's garage under their shop bench. I wasn't impressed with the Quality of the stuff they sent out. Everything looked okay but it looks like someone repackaged their stuff they took out of their own bikes and had save the boxes.

I finally pulled the trigger on another system yesterday. Tracked down Soundz in Myrtle and after kicking tires for about an hour pulled the trigger on their Level IV system with the Moto 600.4 amp and ISC165's in the rear. I was originally planning to go with the KRC's in the tourpak, but I REALLY didn't like the look of the 1" Metra adapter rings.....they were just way too bulky. The ISC's were able to drop into the rear without any adapters.
The show price was the same as their advertised online price but it included installation. It was pissing rain most of the time and it took those guys a good few hours start to finish. I'm glad I had them do the install as I'm sure it would have taken me an entire day.....it was obvious those guys have done A LOT of bikes. I was VERY happy with the amount of time Peter spent tuning the amp. He started with an oscilloscope, then tuned it a bit more by ear, then checked it with the scope again.
It was after 9pm when they finished buttoning everything up so I didn't get a chance to play with it a whole lot. I will say that on my brief ride home it sounded pretty damn good. I was definitely more wowed by this system then when I picked my bike up after having the Stage II Boom stuff installed.
The only negative so far is I've lost my fader capabilities. It's not a huge deal as I never moved it from center before. That said, my preference would have been to keep it. The reason it no longer works is because Harley only uses the front radio outputs to power their Boom 4-channel amp. By sticking with the same setup, my bike did not need a new flash. The trade off is no fader.

Spazz, Dgreen1069, Any issues when encountering rain w/ the speakers? I'm curious because I'm about to go w/ this set up myself and I don't want anything to happen to it due to rain. Especially after spending a good chunk of change like this. I plan on going w/ 6 speakers to replace the Boom 1 system currently installed.
