Adjusting Your System--Please Read!
In order to make your new system perform as good as it was designed,
please take a minute to understand and follow these tips:
1) Set your “Automatic Volume Control” (AVC) to 3 bars. After extensive on
road testing, we found that this AVC position works and sounds best. Your
new amplifier has been specifically set-up for this radio setting.
2) Your Hogtunes system is designed specifically for a motorcycle at speed.
Exhaust noise and wind noise have been taken into careful consideration
in how your system performs. How your new system sounds in a driveway
or garage is radically different from how it will sound at highway speeds.
Although your system was set-up with a factory radio with its bass and
treble controls in the middle position, if you feel the need to make adjust-
ments, please do so (carefully) at your normal cruising speed.
3) If you have an aftermarket car radio on your bike, everything will work
fine, but please remember that car radios are designed to work in an
environment with little or no exhaust or wind noise. Many car radios have
“features” such as equalizers, loudness contours, surround effects, etc., all
designed for a quiet environment, and all of which will hurt your ability to
hear your motorcycle system at speed if left on. Please take a minute and
turn as much of these “features” off. With a car radio in your bike, the
only adjustments you should be able to access for best performance are
volume, bass, treble, balance, and fader.
4) If your using an external device to supply music through the radios aux
port, we have an article on our website that can help make your periph-
eral audio device sound as good as it can. The article is at http://www.

MOUNTING CONSIDERATIONS/
REQUIRED ADAPTOR KITS
Depending on your model of bike, or what you have for an existing system, you
may need a Hogtunes Amplifier Adaptor Kit.
If you have a Standard, EG Classic, Street Glide, or Ultra, and this is the only
Hogtunes amp in the system, the amp will adhere to the top of the radio using the
supplied “hook and loop adhesive. No adaptor needed.
If you have a Standard, EG Classic, Street Glide, or Ultra, and this will be the 2nd
amp in the system, Hogtunes “2CHSP” (Drag Specialties Part # 4405-0234) is
required. This kit bolts into your fairing, and locates the NCA 70.2 between the
radio and brake side speaker. Please do not continue the install until you have the
required parts. 2CHSP can also be used if you prefer not having an amplifier sit
on top of the radio.
If you have a Road Glide or Road Glide Ultra, Hogtunes has 2 different RG
Adaptor kits, and you will need one of them. If you don’t not have the adaptor
you need, please do not continue the install until you have the required parts.
1) If this is the only amp in the system, or, if you already have a Hogtunes NCA
40.4 and are adding to the system, you will need Hogtunes RG Adaptor Kit
(Drag Specialties Part # 4405-0096) which bolts the amp to the main studs that
attach the inner fairing to the frame of your bike.
2) If you already have a NCA 70.2 in the bike, it should be mounted to a plate
attached to the main studs that hold the inner fairing to the frame of your bike.
The second amp will bolt in using Hogtunes RG 40.4 Adaptor kit
(Drag Specialties Part # 4405-0232) This will locate the second amp off to
the extreme brake side of the inner fairing.
If required, please have the amplifier mounted to the appropriate adaptor (but not
to the bike yet) before continuing with the install. If you do not have the required
adaptor, please consult your retail dealer.
In most cases,
NCA 70.2 will
be mounted on
Hogtunes RG
Adaptor kit
(Drag #4405-0096)
as shown in
Figure 2.2
