at the factory radio outputs and turn the DSR1 on automatically. Doing it this way delays the turn on of the DSR1 and consequently
the amplifier(s) just enough that it avoids the pop sound from the factory radio altogether. Problem solved. And one less wire to
connect. Put a female bullet connector on the male connector that you crimped onto the blue wire earlier and tie it back out of the
way so that you don’t mix it up with the Blue/White wire later on.
Connecting the Signal Input to the DSR1 from the Factory Radio
Locate the front signal plug and play harness. This harness has 2-Two pin black Molex
connectors on one end and RCA connectors on the other end. Connect the RCAs to the
White and Grey RCAs on the DSR1.
In the next few steps the connections are shown with the components outside of the bike for
clarity sake.
Signal Out from the DSR1 to the Amplifier(s)
In the picture below male-male RCA connectors are shown but on a bike you should always
use short length RCA patch cables. The male-male connectors like to come loose with
vibration. Even when taped up. Connect the front output from the DSR1 to the front input of
the amplifier.
Connect the rear output from the DSR1 to the rear input on the amplifier.
About the 8 DSR1 RCA outputs.
The DSR1 has many more outputs than are required for many
installations. The outputs are clearly labeled but the one that confuses
people the most is the Front Spare outputs. These are not used unless
you require all 8 channels of the DSR1. All 8 of the RCA outputs can
actually be used for any speaker that you want in the system. All 8
channels have the same abilities and can be configured the same. It is
wise however to use front for front, frear for rear .etc because in the
DSR1 app that you will be using later on you will want to easily keep
track of what's what.
Amplifier Output Connections to the Amplifier.
If using a Diamond Audio amplifier like the one pictured, be aware that the RCA input plugs have the same 4 pin connector on the
amplifier as the speaker output harnesses. It is easy to mix them up. The RCAs though go on the dial side of the amplifier and the
speaker outputs go on the power connection side of the amplifier.
