I had my Reckless fairing apart this week and decided I would try the mouse pad behind the speaker suggestion.

The Polk MM691 6X9's and a PBR300X2 amp sounded great anyway but I thought I would try this just to see if it worked.

Purchased these extra large mouse pads from Office Depot and attached them with silicone adhesive. These are foam rubber, almost 1/4" thick. 13.3" X 13.3".

I can honestly say it really helps. The sound is quite a bit cleaner and crisper especially at higher levels. The bass is also better, cleaner with less vibration and distortion at higher levels. It just sounds better all the way around.

This is a easy, inexpensive mod that really works.

 

so there's two mice who have nowhere to live, just so your stereo sounds better?




I put the sound pad in from J&M, it makes a big difference, thats a good idea, using the mouse pads! (even though the mice are homeless, and living under a bridge now!)

 

LOL!!!

Funny you say that.

I told my wife that I hoped I was not creating an invitation for mice to live in the fairing. Being that I had put two "mouse pads" in there.

 

Cool idea, I will remember that.

 

 

Interesting, but hey as long as it works, cool!

 

Excellent cost effective idea.

 

added to the list. thanks for the pic

 

Is this something that could be done to improve the stock setup?

 

If you were going to go thru the cost and trouble to do that, you should have just bought some dynomat and covered the whole fairing.
I did mine and it was night and day difference.
