How are the speakers mounted?
They can be mounted many different ways, including mounting them with the mirror brackets, or the riser bolts. They can be mounted off the windshield brackets. The L bracket that comes with the speakers can be modified to fit many different applications.
Is the Amp Waterproof
No the amp is not waterproof, and is made to disconnect easily so you can put it away when parked or when raining. Mount the amp in a protected area behind the windshield. The amp can be splashed with a little bit of water, but not submerged.
Can I use these speakers with a standard car radio?
Yes you can, just cut the speaker wires and wire direct to any radio or player.

Speakers are not very loud.
Make sure the volume control on the audio device is turned up, some of the new MP3 players and Sat. Radios have an internal volume control that is only accessible through the devices menu. Larger amps are available to make the speakers even louder.

Check the fuse on the positive wire and replace it if broken.

When I start up my bike, the fuse blows..
Obtain a slightly larger amp fuse, your bike is probably putting out more that 13 volts when running.

I have noise in the speakers from the engine.
If you experience sound distortion caused by engine interference when your bike is running, you can easily and affordably install a noise filter. Noise filters are available from us for your convenience. This filter greatly attenuates electrical noise or whine produced by some motorcycle electrical/ignition systems.

I installed a noise filter along with my amplified speakers but still get a humming noise and low volume from the speakers. How can I troubleshoot?
A hum is indicative of a bad ground – typically the signal ground. Try double-checking the signal ground from your stereo player, including all black leads connecting the player to the speakers. If the problem persists, you may have installed the speakers at a weak ground point. To remedy, try jumping a wire from the bike's negative battery terminal to the mounting bolt of each speaker. If this results in increased volume, you may need to wire in a better ground.

Amp seems very hot.
The amplifier will get hot, this is normal especially during very warm summer days without the bike moving. Once air is flowing over the amp it is considerably cooler.
