If running a supplied harness to the rears
On the 8 pin rear harness “end” or “pigtail”, you will see 2 pairs of black shorter wires in
a sheath, and 2 pairs of black longer wires in a second sheath. Put the ends of the shorter
wires into the brake side rear speaker box.
If Installing on an Ultra
these wires will enter where the factory wires enter the rear speaker box. Plug the factory
rear speaker wires into the male wires of the amp harness-they will only go on one way.
Take a rear speaker and plug the female connectors of the amp harness into the speaker.
Repeat this step using the longer wires on the clutch side of the bike.
If using Hogtunes Rear Speaker Pods
, the wires will enter through a “slice” in the
vinyl on the lower inside part of the box.
Attach the amps red wire to the positive (+) battery terminal, and the amps
black wire to the negative (-) battery terminal. The factory battery wires are also
re-installed at this point. Note: when attaching the power and ground wires, it
is always a good practice to do the negative first. When the positive connector
touches the battery, some sparking is normal. This is a function of the capacitors in
the amplifier charging up.
Step#7: Turn the stereo on, and at low volume, test to make sure all speakers are working.
Note: Sound quality is best with the fairing mounted and secured on the bike.
Re-install the seat making sure the amplifiers “+” and “-” connectors are positioned
in such away so they will not bend or break when the riders weight is on the seat.
This is the best time to take a few minutes to “clean up” the wiring, and secure
using supplied zip-ties.
Before re-installing outer fairing, turn front wheel
to each extreme side making sure any wiring is not
impeding the steering of the motorcycle. Failure to do
so can result in serious injury or death!
Re-install the fairing
and your system is now
ready to enjoy!
Adjusting the Bass levels:
The MAXXBASS feature built into this amp has almost as much power as a
386 computer! This feature allows us to “tune” the amps sound for the motorcycle
application. On Radio Sound (1998-2005 model ) radios, between 5-6 “bars”
is all that is needed on the bass level screen. On Harman-Kardon(2006+) radios,
1-3 bars above center is what we have found works best. This is a suggestion only.
Adjust the system for what sounds best to you!
