I have 2 SS amps in my fairing and still pick up FM just fine. I guess it's a crapshoot.

2010 Limited with some stuff

Sorry to not follow up. Been at the rally the past 3 days. Speakers sound great! Very happy with the bang for the buck. MUCH better than the boom crap and very clear / powerful sound.

Yes Johns setup is killer... he is jammin. Thanks again for you help!! I owe you. Let me know when you need a hand for a day. Happy to swing by.

The ground wire on harness was no issue as you spoke of earlier. I did remove the second harness for the high output because we had it set up in the outputs for one front speaker and one rear speaker. Not that it really made a difference but I thought it would bother me. I got it wired up about 15 minutes after you left with both outputs for front speakers and unplugged the other harness leaving the two rear channels open.

I did however loose 1 speaker shortly but it came back on later. When it did it would pop and distort a little at higher volume. I was using the speaker wire provided in the kit which was a very very small gauge. We could barely get it to hold under the set screws on amp without pulling out. I assume that's the issue and I'm going to grab some heavier guage speaker wire and swap it out.

I agree the speaker wire provided was too small of a gauge to put under that screw, Glad you got it worked out and are happy with it. Good luck.
