    And that is because you you took the power wire that previously fed the Honda amp and sent it to the MVPA's power or remote terminal instead? I must have this!

    Also, did you mess with the MVPA's various settings at all?

    I'd give you a +1 for windscreen and add +1 for AVC.

    The AVC set to HIGH seems to kick in kind of late on my bike (with the short shield). I will have to play with it some more with the new shield.

    Don't really care for the AVC. My thomb on the volume works just fine. Before I did the stero mods, the AVC seemed it would get too low at lower speeds or be too loud at higher speeds. Actually haven't tried it since doing the upgrade thing.

    Just did a speaker swap with j&m and a 11 inch baggershield.....the screen made the difference more than the speakers......less tinny sounding but not much more performance.they are also on backorder til sept.

    Haven't heard the J&M but I wouldn't expect much from them. I have Polk Audio MM series component speakers with the addition of a aftermarket amplifier and also a sub.

    Well you know how I got there. I'd imagine that the power source could be picked up before getting back to the rear where the amp harness is, but I have not looked for it elsewhere. I wanted the preout signals too that fed the OEM amp. You do have a shop manual right? I could have probably tapped into the harness before it got into the back, but the harness before there is tightly wrapped and bundled with not much apparent slack to work with.
