Thank you for choosing the Hogtunes REV 200-RM Amplifier for 2014+
Rushmore Platform Bikes. Since positive word of mouth is the best way to grow
our business, we want your new system to work as well as it was designed to.
If you have any questions or concerns, we are here to help.
The REV 200-RM Amplifier is a Class D design. We chose this design because
it yields plenty of power, is easy on the bike’s charging system and produces
little heat. It should be understood that ALL Class D amplifiers may cause a
reduction in FM reception. Nothing is affected when playing CD, MP3,
Satellite radio or any other music device. FM reception will differ and depend
on the condition and type of antenna that you are using and, although every
effort has been made to minimize any loss, we strongly advise against the use
of in-fairing or hidden antennas with Class D amplifiers for best FM reception.
To help protect your bike’s electrical system and battery, the amp has a built
in feature where it will turn itself off if it sees less than 10.5 volts, whether
the bike is running or not. If you’re listening to your stereo while not riding,
this feature can help protect your battery so the bike can still start. If you’re
riding and the amp shuts off, this could be showing a potential issue with your
charging
system. If this feature is activated and the amp shuts off, it will turn the amp
back on again if the voltage exceeds the 10.5 volt threshold.
The REV 200-RM is rated for 100 watts per channel using 2 ohm speakers
at 14.4volts at 1% Total Harmonic Distortion (THD). Although this amplifier
makes its highest power with 2 ohm speakers, if Hogtunes 5.75 ohm speakers
or 4 ohm car speakers are used there will still be a noticeable improvement
in volume and sound quality.
If you are not using Hogtunes speakers, chances are the speaker connectors
are not the same as stock. If you need to change connectors, please note that
on all Hogtunes products, the smaller connector (black wire) is positive (+).

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Step #1: Remove the seat and both wires (+ and -) from the battery. Remove the
outer fairing/headlamp assembly and set aside. Refer to a service
manual if you need help with this. NOTE: Placing a towel on the front
fender can help prevent scratches or “dings” from dropped tools or fas-
teners, etc. Expletives will also be kept to a minimum!
Step #2: Over top of the radio, pull up to release each wire harness from the
black plate via the factory “Christmas Tree” fasteners. If your bike has
factory GPS, the small square antenna will need to be relocated just
behind the voltmeter as shown in Fig 1.1 below. Remove the four factory
T-20 “Torx” screws that go through the top of the black plate and into
the top of the radio.
Step #3:
Figure 1.1 - The white circle shows the new location
for GPS Antenna if your bike came factory equipped
with this feature.

Step #4: With the amplifier removed, sit the supplied silver plate on top of the
radio as shown below. Put one of the supplied star washers on each
factory screw and reinstall through the silver plate, through the factory
black plate and into the top of the radio. Make sure that each screw has
a star washer! Locate the
main power harness and
plug it into the matching
“pig-tail” on the side of the
amp. Locate the supplied
input harness and plug into
the “audio input” socket on
the side of the amp. Locate
the harness with brown/
black and blue/black wires
and plug it into the 4 pin
BLACK plug on the pig-tail
coming out of the amp. Sit
the amp on top of the silver
plate so when standing in
front of the bike you can
read the Hogtunes logo on
top of the amp. Use the
four short Philips head
screws to secure the
amplifier back to the silver plate.
Step #5: Also in Fig 1.2 is a white square which shows a smaller black 2 pin
factory plug. The orange wire from the amp has a plug that goes
directly into this factory harness. On the factory plug we are describing,
there may be a factory plug with no wires already installed into it which
will have to be removed. The factory wire colors going into the plug
are Purple/blue stripe and black and can be see under the factory
sheathing. The orange wire is the amplifier’s “turn on” lead and tells the
amp to turn on/off with the bike’s ignition. The amplifier will not turn on
if this wire is not hooked up to this (or any) switched B+ source!
Step #6: From the amp, take the 2 pin plug with the blue/black wires and install
it into the plug going into the brake side speaker cabinet. Take the 2 pin
plug with the brown/black wires and install it into he plug going into
the clutch side speaker cabinet.
Figure 1.2 - Amplifier and mounting plate
correctly oriented. The plate with four small
holes is for mounting a popular Harley
accessory. The white circles show tabs which
are there for the “Christmas Tree” fasteners to
re-secure the harnesses lifted earlier.

Step #7: From the amp’s input connector, take the 2 pin plug with the green/
black wires and install it into the mating plug on the brake side of the
bike. Also from amp’s input connector, take the 2 pin plug with the
yellow/black wires and install it into the mating plug on the clutch side
of the bike. NOTE: These are the plugs originally undone to allow the
speaker cabinet to come out. The plugs will only fit together one way
but, to be absolutely sure, if you look “behind” the factory wires
sheathing, the factory wires are pink and pink/black stripe.
Step #8: The balance of the main wire
harness 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 amplifier’s harness
to the bike’s factory
harness using zip ties When
correctly installed, the power
and ground wires are the
right length to connect on to
the battery.

wire to the negative (-) battery terminal. The factory battery wires
are also re-installed at this point. Turn the ignition of the bike to the
“on” position and play the stereo at low volume to verify the
amplifier is working fine
IMPORTANT: With all wires secured, turn
the front wheel to each extreme side,
making sure that any wires cannot bind
or impede the steering of the motorcycle.
Failure to do so can cause an accident
resulting in serious injury or death!

consideration in how your system performs. How your new system
sounds in a driveway or garage is radically different from how it will
sound at highway speeds. Although your system was set-up with a
factory radio, with its bass and treble controls in the middle position,
if you feel the need to make adjustments please do so (carefully) at
your normal cruising speed.
