Step #2: Take the green/black wires on the input connector and plug them into
the front factory speaker wires on the brake side of the bike. Take the blue/
black on the front out plug, and plug them into the brake side front speaker.
Again, these will only go on one way.
The orange wire is the “remote turn on lead” and tells the amp to turn on when-
ever it sees +12v (.5 amp min.). Unplug the center wire (+) on the cigarette lighter.
Plug the orange lead from the amplifier 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.
Routing the power wire harness:
Step #1: The power/ground harness and rear harness will pass together under the
inner fairing where the main wire harness passes through on the brake side of the
bike. Loosen the tanks “chrome console” and run wires up and over the gas tank,
but under the tanks chrome console. There is a provision on the front of the tank
console for wires to pass.
When correctly installed, the power and ground wires are the right length to
connect to the battery, and if used, the rear wire 8 pin harness is the right length
to be zip
-
tied to the brake side fender strut. Be sure to run the 8 pin harness
UNDER the air line for the brake side rear shock.
If running a supplied harness to the rears On the 8 pin rear harness “end” 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 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 Hogtunes 2 ohm rear speaker
(model 352R
-
AA or 117.2
-
AA) and plug the female connectors of the amp harness
into the speaker. Again, they will only go one way. Repeat this step using the long-
er wires on the clutch side of the bike. If using Hogtunes Rear Speaker Pods, the
wires enter through a “slice” in the vinyl on the lower inside part of the box.
The radios power is diverted to this set of speakers, so the speakers ohms (Ω)
used in this location MUST match the ohms the radio works with. For 2006-2013
factory radios, 2 ohm speakers are required. For 2000-2005 factory radio’s, 4-8
ohm speakers are required.
F0r 2006-2013 bikes, the amplifier mounts inside the fairing “over” the radio
using the side plates shown below. For ‘00-05 Bikes, the supplied hook/loop is
used to secure the amp to the top of the radio instead of the plates. The side
plates are attached to the side of the amplifier by removing 4 screws on each
side of the amp, positioning the plates as shown below, and re-installing the
screws into the amp. Factory CB, XM, and other similar modules (if present)
are mounted on top of the radio and secured with a screw that goes into the
back of the radio. Remove the screw and let the module(s) hang for now. If
required, the module shelf is NOT installed yet! Each side of the radio has 2
large allen head bolts that secure the radio into the fairing. You will loosen the
bolts on each side that are farthest away from you, but remove the bolts clos-
est to you. The amp will “clip in” to the back bolts, and the bolts removed will
go back in over the plates to secure the amp. Re tighten all 4 bolts to factory
specs. If you have modules that are now hanging, install the module shelf as
shown noting that the “stove bolt” heads must be positioned as shown. Your
module(s) will screw into the shelf using the factory screw(s) you removed
from the back of the radio.
Wiring the amplifier: Step #1: With amplifier in place, take the yellow/black
wires on the input connector of the amplifier, and plug them into the front
factory speaker wires on the clutch side of the bike. They will only go in one
way. Take the brown/black wires on the “front out” connector and plug them
into the front clutch side speaker. They will only go in one way.
