  • Adding Armrest Speakers and Amp

    Hi All,


    I have a 2017 SL LE and want to keep the stock stereo but add an amp and the armrest speakers. I was thinking of mounting the amp under the driver's seat with spacers under it to let water flow if needed. I have a couple questions:


    1) What is the best way to route the wiring from the stock stereo through the SS to the amp and out to the stock and new speakers?
    2) How is everyone connecting their amps to the DC 12V system? (I don't want to run the battery down when not in use)
    3) Is there a decent quality amp that won't break the bank? (I want to hear the music in the cockpit so something not too big)


    I've seen lots of great advice on here but can't seem to navigate back to those threads easily.

    We took our SS to Cape Coral Florida's 1st Bike Night of the year. The event is huge and attracts I think over 20,000. They have 3 stages and vendors etc.. This year it was set up on the newly renovated street that widened the sidewalks and narrowed the streets. The event was approx seven city blocks long (maybe 8). We parked next to another sling on one end for easy access to leave. The police dept. found it necessary to have one way in and one way out. The "in" being where we parked and the "out" at the other end of the event. The SS had a large crowd around her the whole time we were there. We decided that is was too crowded the way they had it set up and departed early. Instead of letting us travel 1/2 block to get out, they made us drive through 20,000 plus people to get to the other side. So with bikes parked in one lane and vendors across from them on the side walks there was a single lane for foot traffic and bikes exiting and entering. It was a shit show. Most people were taking pictures and giving a thumbs up, but there were way too many disgruntled bikers screaming and yelling at us. My wife was freaked out and so was I a bit. It was almost to the point where I thought I might have to get out and defend us. Some guys really got in our face. It is was really disheartening to see this behavior. It took us almost an hour to get through the crowd. We won't be attending any more bike nights as a result.

  • Damn Passenger side heat..........

    I like the vent, was it easy to bend and paint? Might be hard to match the midnight cherry but black or white would look good too.

    Everything works as it should. It doesn’t start without the clutch engaged and even cruise control works with the check engine light on.

    Called the dealer that I bought it from yesterday in Ft. Myers FL and was told to bring it in today. The girl writing up the order tried to charge me as if it were a repair. After 25min we finally came to the understanding that this is a warranty issue. At that point she said "well we are really backed up and might be able to get to it at the end of next week so why don't you give us a call then". Also that the manager couldn't find the code and they needed to do a full diagnostic. I knew this dealer has bad reviews on their service deptartment but was willing to give them a chance. Nope not any more! Thankfully we have another dealer close by in Punta Gorda so I drove it straight there. They were professional, knew the problem and made an appointment for early next week to fix the sensor. The only reason I didn't buy my SS from them in the first place is that their inventory sits outside.

    Yep that’s a no go too. I’ll have to call the dealer in the AM. I did find out that they cross threaded one of the battery box screws. Ugh
