WIRING THE AMPLIFIER
Step #1: Plug the 2 connectors of the main wire harness into “Power” and “Audio
Input” on the amplifi er. Tighten (snug) the 2 small fl athead screws on the
power connector to prevent it from backing out while riding.
Step #2: On the input harness, locate the yellow/black pair of wires with the male
connectors and plug them into the factory speaker wires on the clutch
side of the bike. Also on the input harness, locate the green/black pair
of wires with the male connectors and plug them into the factory speaker
wires on the brake side of the bike. The connectors are sized correctly,
and will only go in one way. Note: The blue 4 pin plug with black wires
on the input harness is an “expansion port” which used to send music to
a second amp, or is used to send radio power to run other speakers on
the bike. You can see how the expansion port can be used further on in
this manual.
Step #3: On the opposite side of the amp are 3” (75mm) wires ending with a 4
pin black connector. This plug sends amplifi ed power to your speakers.
Locate the 4 pin black plug wire harness with brown/black and blue/
black wires, and plug it into the amplifi ed output plug. The blue/black
wires will plug directly to the speaker on the brake side of the bike. The
brown/black wires will plug directly to the speaker on the clutch side of
the bike.
Step #4: The orange wire is the “remote turn on lead” and tells the amp to turn on
whenever it sees +12v (.5 amp min.). Unplug the factory center wire (+)
on the cigarette lighter. Plug the orange lead from the amplifi er directly
onto the lighter using the female connector. Plug the factory lighter wire
to the male “take off” connector which is part of the amps orange turn
on lead. Important: If you do not attach the orange wire from the amp to
the center wire at the cigarette lighter, the amplifi er will not turn on. If the
factory fuse for your cigarette lighter is blown, and your cigarette lighter
does not work, your amplifi er will not turn on.
