getting started
Step #1: Remove the seat and both wires (+ and -) from the battery.
Step #2: Remove the outer fairing/headlamp assembly. Refer to a service manual
if you need help with this. NOTE: A towel on the front fender can help
prevent scratches or “dings” from dropped tools or fasteners etc.
Expletives will also be kept to a minimum!
Step #: 3 Locate the main power harness and plug it into the matching connector
on the amplifier. Locate the 8 pin harness and plug it into “Audio Input”
on the side of the amp. If using this amplifier to power front speakers
(and tweeter pod if present) locate the 4 pin harness ending in a black
plug and plug it into the black 4 pin connector on the amp. Make sure
to plug this into the black plug and NOT the blue plug on the 8 pin input
connector. NOTE: If using this amplifier to power Hogtunes 692.2/
Lids 6x9”speaker lid kit, FL-7W 7” Fairing lower woofer kit or speakers
as part of Hogtunes rear speaker pod kit, the speaker wire harness that
comes in those kits will now plug into the 4 pin black plug on the side of
the amp.
Step #4a: Mounting the amp For Standards, Street Glide, EG Classic and Ultra Classic--
If this is the only amp in the system, the amplifier gets mounted to the top
of the factory radio using the supplied “hook and loop” adhesive and must
sit so if in front of the bike looking down, the
power connector is on your left and the
amplified output 4 pin black “pigtail” is on
your right. The amplifier needs to mount as
far back on the radio as possible so the
fairing can go back on. On 1998-2005
model bikes, it is a tight fit--but will go.
2006-2013 (Advanced Audio) radios have
a “bump” on top of the radio that runs from
front to back down the center of the radio.
Cut the adhesive in half and apply one
piece on either side of this bump. The amp
will then mount flush as shown in Fig 1.1.
Most adhesives work best at room
temperature or higher.
NOTE: 2006- 2013 Ultras have the CB module on top of the
radio. The amp will adhere on top of the CB module so it is
“half on/half off” this module as shown in Diagram 1.2. The
supplied adhesive is plenty strong for this! The amp can
adhere on top of CB and XM modules without issue.
