If this is the 2nd amp in the system, mount the amp to the
Hogtunes 2CHSP and install in your bike.
Step #4b: Mounting the amp For Road Glide or Road Glide Ultra – The amp will
mount to the plate and the plate will mount to the bike as per the plates
instructions. NOTE: Use the harnesses that come in this kit and NOT
the harnesses that come as part of your RG adaptor kit.
WIRING THE AMPLIFIER
Step #1a: If this is the only amp in the bike and its NOT an Ultra ( radio fader
does not work). On the audio input harness, locate the yellow/black
pair of wires with the male connectors. Un plug the factory speaker
wires on the clutch side of the bike and plug the yellow/black wires in
to those. They will only go in one way. Also on the audio input harness,
locate the green/black pair of wires with the male connectors. Un plug
the factory speaker wires on the brake side of the bike and plug the
green/black wires in to those. Locate the Blue plug with red/black, and
white/black wires on it, and plug this into the “expansion port” which
is the empty (also blue) plug on the input harness. Take the white/black
wires on the expansion port plug, and plug them directly to the clutch
side front speaker. Take the red/black wires on the expansion port
plug, and plug them directly to the brake side front speaker.
Step #1b: If this is the only amp in the bike and it is an Ultra (fader does work)
On the Input harness you will need to tape the ends of the individual
yellow/black and green/black wires so they do not make contact with
anything else. DO NOT cut these wires, as if you want to expand the
system later, these wires will be needed!!! Plug the 4-pin blue plug on
the rear harness into the blue 4-pin plug on the input harness.
Step #2: The orange wire on the power harness 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 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. Important: If you do not attach
the orange wire from the amp to the center wire at the cigarette lighter,
the amplifier will not turn on. If the factory fuse for your cigarette lighter
is blown, and your cigarette lighter does not work, your amplifier will
not turn on.

Step #3a: Routing the power and rear speaker harness -For Standards, Street
Glide, EG Classic, and Ultra Classic.
For 98-06 bikes, the harnesses will pass under the inner fairing where
the throttle and idle cables pass through on the brake side of the bike.
The harnesses are designed to be routed between the frame backbone
and gas tank on the brake side of the bike, and come out just behind
the gas tank. You MAY need to undo the back bolt of the gas tank and
pivot the tank up to allow the harness to pass through at the back of
the gas tank. Be sure to re-install this bolt and torque to factory specs!
For 07+ bikes, the balance of the wire harnesses will pass under the
inner fairing where the main wire harness passes through on the brake
side of the bike. Loosen the tank console and run wires up and over the
gas tank, but under the tank console. There is a provision on the front
of the tank console for wires to pass. Secure the amplifiers harness
to the bikes factory harness’ using zip ties. When correctly installed,
the power and ground wires are the right length to connect onto the
battery. Leave the power and ground wires near the battery for now.
Continue to step #5.
Step #3b: Routing the power harness -- For Road Glide or Road Glide Ultra
On the brake side of the bike, in front of the gas tank, on the side
of the frames backbone, you will see a rectangular opening where
a large wire harness, (and throttle/idle cables on 98-07 bikes) pass
through from the fairing side of the bike. The red and black wires
for the amp will pass from the fairing side through the large opening
under the radio, and through the rectangular opening. Take the rubber
cover off the fuse holder, and remove the fuse, the fuse holder will pass
through the rectangular opening much easier. Be sure to replace the
fuse!! “Fishing” a small piece of wire through this opening first, taping
the red and black wires to the fish, and then using the fish to feed the
wires through may reduce install time! The harness is designed to be
routed between the frame backbone and gas tank on the brake side
of the bike ,and come out just behind the gas tank. You MAY need to
undo the back bolt of the gas tank and pivot the tank up to allow the
harness to pass through at the back of the gas tank. Be sure to re-install
this bolt and torque to factory specs! For 07+ bikes, Loosen the tank
console and run wires up and over the gas tank, but under the tank
console. There is a provision on the front of the tank console for wires
to pass. Continue to step #5
