Wiring the aMplifier
Step #1: Locate the main power connector and plug it in to the mating connector
on the amp. Locate the audio input harness and plug its 8 pin harness into
“Audio Input” on the side of the amp.
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 is 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 amplified power to the
speakers. Locate the 4 pin black plug wire harness with brown/black
and blue/black wires. Plug it into the amplified 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 #5: Separate the Hogtunes speakers from their grills. If you want to use the
supplied steel mesh grills, continue to Step #6. Keeping the stock grill
cloth look, take the stock grills and CAREFULLY separate the factory
plastic mesh that holds the grill cloth from the main grill “ring”. Carefully
remove the Hogtunes steel mesh from the Hogtunes ring. Your factory
mesh/grill cloth should have enough “tack” to stick onto the Hogtunes
ring but will be properly secured when the grills are installed.
Step #6: Included in this kit is a bag with six Phillips head screws. Using these
supplied
screws, install each 3572-AA grill to the bike and re-install
the stock “speed nut” on each side. Re-attach the 5x7’s to their grills
using the screws you took out in Step 5, noting that the speakers must
be oriented in the grills so the wire connectors are closest to the radio.
DO NOT USE FACTORY SCREWS TO
ATTACH NEW GRILLS TO FAIRING!
