Sounds real good
The camera lens you used when you video your set up made it look like the bike was moving to the music

Had a minor setback, I have had intermittent cutting out of the audio system sounded kinda like a lose ground cable. I have been wanting to remove the fairing so I could clean up my install like Rocker and BigBoy have. The ground wire was ok, every connection was ok. Pulled the rear speakers, ok. Was putting things back together and did another system check and I noticed the right front speaker was dead. Called Bill at BT he said switch the speaker wires and see if it is still dead, and it was. Therefore, now I am waiting on a new speaker in the meantime I installed a SPR 60 in its place. Anything is better than nothing. The point is that although I had a speaker failure Bill at BT addressed the issue and offered a solution. RIP 7.1 at least for a couple of days until the new one arrives. The good news is that I got my install cleaned up.

Got the front right speaker replacement in today. Man it really sounds good now, I had problems with the old one from the get go. When I first installed my system I noticed that the left front speaker seemed to be carrying the load. Now with the new one installed they are equal output, at least to my untrained ear. Thanx Bill

Cool. It must sound completely different now.

If I changed out the front stock HD grills to a steel mesh type would there be an improvement in SQ, or are they for aesthetic value?

Thanx in advance,
Paul

What grills did you replace your BT setup with? I have the cloth ones that came on the bike, but don't want to use them. Also, if I do lids, where would I get the grills for them. The lids don't come with the grills and I can't find where HD sells them separately.
