Step #3: Installing The New Speaker: With the cabinet removed from bike
undo the 4 screws that hold the factory speaker to the cabinet. Carefully
take off each speaker wire by disconnecting one at a time. Take a Hogtunes
speaker and attach the factory speaker wires noting they will only go on
one way. Using the factory screws, attach the Hogtunes speaker to the
cabinet The factory speaker grill can be left in or replaced with the supplied
metal mesh grill using the 3 factory screws on the inside of the fairing. In
the Hogtunes grill, you will see two holes and one “keyhole” where the
screws go through and into the fairing. The keyhole in the Hogtunes grill
needs to be oriented so it is closest to the radio on each side for proper
fitment! Using the factory cloth grills will cause a reduction volume!
With
the grills in place and the speaker properly attached to the speaker cabinet,
the cabinet can be re-installed.
Repeat Step #3 for the second cabinet. Plug the factory speaker wires back
into the cabinet’s speaker wires and your speakers are ready to test. Make
sure to plug the power cable back into the power port/cigarette lighter
assembly on the brake side. If your bike has the CB module, make sure to
re-install the antenna cable and main harness. Re-install your fairing and
windshield and your new speakers are ready to enjoy!
462R-RM Rear Speaker Installation Instructions:
Step #1: Make sure your ignition switch stays in the “OFF” position.
Remove the factory speaker grills by undoing the 4 screws on the front of
the grills. Carefully lift up on each speaker and take the 2 wires off by
pulling one at a time from the stock speaker. Remove the speakers.
Step #2: Hogtunes 462R-RM rear speakers are a direct replacement for the
OE speakers. The female OE “in-line” connectors mate with the male
connectors on each speaker and only go on one way. The number 1 reason
for tech support calls is due to loose connections at the speaker. Please
make sure you have a very good connection to avoid this. Once you are
confident the factory wires are correctly attached to the new speakers, set
them in place, install the supplied grills or factory grills and secure the
speaker by reinstalling the 4 screws per grill. Using the factory grills will
cause a slight reduction in high frequency volume!
Note: The factory rubber
“nutserts” on the rear pod side can be finicky. It’s a good idea to get all 4
grill screws “started” and then get each one snug. Gradually tighten each
one down making sure all 4 screws holding the grill down are secure! Turn
your radio on to make sure both speakers are playing and you are done!
