Here is some pics of what I have done so far...

Dynamatting is stuck on but the Orb stuff is just sitting in I what I think is the right place for them (more or less).. prob recheck again if they will be directly behind my Arc speakers. Think I did enough matting?.. prob overkill anyways....



I put meh ground on the frame where the engine guard is bolted on.. shrug should work.. I dremled a nice spot clean of paint.



And here is one of the positive cable running down the backbone.. under the plastic wire gide that sits there. Man, taking off an 09 touring bike tank is simple.. hehe

 

Are both materials really needed?

 

prob not, over kill...

heh.. but whatever, was gonna put some on the inner fairing but, what a pain..

don't think I like where I ground so prob gonna move it to the neg side of the battery today

 

There is a grounding stud next to the steering neck that is easily accessible with the fairing cap removed. IIRC, it uses a 3/8" nut.

 

Hey thanks harleypingman, I moved the ground over to that nut. Much better visually.. heh(can't see it really there vs the engine guard nut). Dunno, why I didn't see that bolt there last night....

 

Reconsider using crimp connectors. They are vulnerable to corrosion and vibration. Solder and shrink wrap instead.

 

Heh, that is so true. I did solder a few leads last night on my HD garage door opener, didn't shrink wrap em but did use 3m electrical tape in a neat fashion. Yeah, trying to stuff two wires into them crimps was a f'n ugly time consuming problem, so I took the one off and just stripped and soldered em in-line.

Just put the Arc speakers in and about to mount the amp..then i'll see about what I can solder up for a good clean install.

That one crimp on the power lead was how it came.... looks secure, might electrical tape it up a bit.

 

Took same size squares of paper taped to the dynamat to position the dynaOrb stuff, checked it a few times with the fairing against the speakerless inner fairing. Got em glued now..hope super glue will hold em..for the long run, dunno if I trust that stuff.

Super glue came with it.. so I guess it will be ok with a Harley's vibration?

 

If it there is nothing attached on the other end you could slide a piece of weather sealing heat shrink onto it. I did that on a few place on my old Mustang.

 

Amp is in and on, pic below. Iron Man was on the radio, fitting song to find any distortion... uh had the f'er up to max and no distortion. Of course the gain on left n right were min.. I turned em up a bit... getting good response ... pushing 100Dbs a bit loud.... So any pointers on tuning this amp? I have a sound meter..

Of course the fairing isn't on yet, but I held it up and no rattles..(a good thing) but the fairing does vibrate.. just no vibration sound.. (heh)

So any pointers.. what to do.. I don't need max volume... (it's very loud)
