It sounds great.  I  also upgraded the speakers to Polk 3.5".  I can hear it doing 70+ with full face helmet

A couple of questions?
What size (Max dimensions of the Amp can you get behind the folks)
How do you control the volume?
What are the actual dimensions of the Stock amp?
Now you guys have done the hard work I'm just trying to find the best parts available!
Already ordered the Polk DXi 351 Speakers and also considering the Polk DXi 1001 1 inch tweeters to sit to the outsides of the speakers, they will fit nicely and are top mounted so dont cause a problem with depth!
Thanks,
Charlie

The stock 20 watt amp is between 4 1/16 and 4 1/8 long by 1 3/4 wide by 1 1/8 height in inches.  It is mounted inside the sound system box.  The Cycle Sounds amp is very slightly larger but it can be pushed into the space for the stock amp and zip tied in place.  I control the volume directly on the Ipod or the GPS unit, depending on which I am using.  You could use a larger amp if you want to mount it outside of the sound system enclosure somewhere else.

Cant find the amp on cycle sounds! just sent them an email to see what they have available!

So after changing pipes to V&H I could no longer hear my music going down the road, throw on a helmet and it all disappears.  So I decided to try something different, I bypassed the stock amp and added a boss amp that says 300 watts max.  If I get 75 or so I will be very happy.  I mounted the amp behind the headlight, as you can see in the pics.   I'm happy with the results of the install, will be doing a right in the morning to hear the difference.

I dont remember the brand of amp. Just got somethkng off ebay to try this out.  And yes that is a volume control.   Seems to work fine and have not had any problems.

Why did you guys use 3.5" speakers. Aren't the original speakers 4" speakers?
