Thank you for choosing the Hogtunes Model 5x7REV/RG front speaker and
amp kit for Road Glides. 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.
Adjusting Your System--Please Read!
In order to make your new system perform as good as it was designed,
please take a minute to understand and follow these tips:
1) Set your “Automatic Volume Control” (AVC) to 3 bars. After extensive on
road testing, we found that this AVC position works and sounds best. Your
new amplifier has been specifically set-up for this radio setting.
2) Your Hogtunes system is designed specifically for a motorcycle at speed.
Exhaust noise and wind noise have been taken into careful 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.
3) If you have an aftermarket car radio on your bike, everything will work
fine, but please remember that car radios are designed to work in an
environment with little or no exhaust or wind noise. Many car radios have
“features” such as equalizers, loudness contours, surround effects, etc., all
designed for a quiet environment, and all of which will hurt your ability to
hear your motorcycle system at speed if left on. Please take a minute and
turn as much of these “features” off. With a car radio in your bike, the
only adjustments you should be able to access for best performance are
volume, bass, treble, balance, and fader.
4) If you’re using an external device to supply music through the radios
aux port, we have an article on our website that can help make your
peripheral audio device sound as good as it can. The article is at:

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
Step #1: Remove the main power and ground wire from the battery. Remove your
outer fairing/headlamp assembly, and set it aside. Refer to a service
manual if you need help with either of these. 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 #2: • On the brake side inside of the of the inner fairing, you will see a wire
“strap” that secures a 3 wire harness (black, blue, and brown) to the
bike. Take the wire out of this strap and let it hang.
• The “A” arrow in figure 1.1 below is where a larger factory “Molex”
plug is secured to the bike (if present). Pull down on this Molex to
unclip it from the frame, and let it hang for now.
Note: Newer model bikes have this Molex located elsewhere.
• Using a small flat head screwdriver, locate and adjust the 3 position
switch on the end of the amplifier to the “+3” position.
• The “B” and “C” arrows in figure 1.1 show the nuts that need to be
removed on the brake side of the bike so the steel plate the amp is
installed to can attach on the 2 main studs.
• Once the plate is on, re-install these nuts to factory torque
specifications.
• The Molex that was removed from the frame (arrow “A”) can be
re-secured to other wire harnesses using supplied zip ties (if Molex
is present).

Step #3: Unplug the factory wires at each front speaker. Locate and remove the 3
torx head screws, and single “speed nut” that holds each stock speaker
grill to the bike. The speakers and grills will come off as one unit, and
along with the factory torx head screws, will be put aside. Separate the
5x7 speakers from their grills. In the kit is a small bag with screws. Using
these supplied (Philips head) screws, install each 5x7Rev/RG grill to the
bike, and re-install the stock “speed nut” on each side. Install the 5”x7”
speakers to the grills, noting that the speakers must be oriented so the
wire connectors are closest to the radio.

WIRING THE AMPLIFIER
Step #1: Plug the 2 connectors of the main wire harness into “Power” and “Audio
Input” on the amplifier. Tighten (snug) the 2 small flathead screws on the
power connector to prevent it from backing out while riding.
Step #2: On the input harness, locate the yellow/black pair of wires with the male
connectors and plug them into the factory speaker wires on the clutch
side of the bike. Also on the input harness, locate the green/black pair
of wires with the male connectors and plug them into the factory speaker
wires on the brake side of the bike. The connectors are sized correctly,
and will only go in one way. Note: The blue 4 pin plug with black wires
on the input harness is an “expansion port” which used to send music to
a second amp, or is used to send radio power to run other speakers on
the bike. You can see how the expansion port can be used further on in
this manual.
Step #3: On the opposite side of the amp are 3” (75mm) wires ending with a 4
pin black connector. This plug sends amplified power to your speakers.
Locate the 4 pin black plug wire harness with brown/black and blue/
black wires, and plug it into the amplified output plug. The blue/black
wires will plug directly to the speaker on the brake side of the bike. The
brown/black wires will plug directly to the speaker on the clutch side of
the bike.
Step #4: The orange wire 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 #5: • 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 inline fuse holder, and remove the fuse,
the fuse holder will pass through the rectangular opening much easier.
Once through the opening, 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.
• Secure the amplifiers harness to the bikes factory harness’ using
zip ties.
Step #6: Attach the red wire to the positive (+) battery terminal, and the black
wire to the negative (-) battery terminal. The factory battery wires are
also re-installed at this point. Secure the 5x7Amp/RG harness to the
bikes factory harness’ along the frame and behind the tank using sup-
plied zip ties.
Step#7: Turn the bikes ignition to the “ACC” position, and turn the radio on at low
volume making sure the system is working. Using supplied zip ties, “clean
up” the wiring inside the fairing. You will see a large wire harness right
under the back of the radio that sits just behind the “hooks” the outer fair-
ing clips onto. You should zip tie any Hogtunes wire to this main harness
so that no wires are in the way of these hooks. Otherwise the outer fairing
will not go on. Following this important step will also help keep expletives
to a minimum!
Step#8: Go to the inside cover of this manual and follow the steps to set up your
system so it will sound as good on a bike at speed as it was designed to

SYSTEM UPGRADE #1
This system is an easy way to add rear speakers to your bike if you’ve added a
King Tour-Pak®. Hogtunes rear speaker pods come with a wire harness set up for
quick detach tour paks that will plug right into the expansion port on the amp.
Important: Since the RADIO power will be used to power the rear
speakers, you must use rear speakers specific to your year of bike!!
Use expansion port to send
radios built in power to a
second set of speakers
(rears on Non-Ultra Models)
Optional HF-2RG
Tweeter Pod
78
SYSTEM UPGRADE #2
This system has the incredible power of 2 NCA 70.2 to your bike! The first amp
will run the 5x7” fairing speakers, and HF2-RG Tweeter Pod (if present). The
second amplifier is used to power a set of rear speakers, or speakers in your Ultra
Classic style fairing lower glove boxes.
NOTE: If you have added Ultra Classic Style Vented (2005+) Fairing Lowers to
your bike, the simplest thing to do is purchase a Hogtunes FL7-Rev kit. This kit
comes with a NCA 70.2 amp, and 7” woofers. For Road Glide models, the
purchase of Hogtunes RG 40.4 adaptor kit is required!! The metal plate in that
kit is used to bolt the second amplifier into your fairing

SYSTEM UPGRADE #3
This system uses a Hogtunes NCA-40.4 160 watt 4 channel amp and a NCA
70.2 for the ultimate in power! As shown below, the typical system would have 2
channels of the 40.4 power the 5x7’s while the other 2 channels power the rear
speakers. The bypass out of 40.4 is used to send music to the NCA 70.2 which
powers the fairing lower speakers. The beauty of this system is that all plugs that
go the speakers are the same. If you decide you would like more amplifier power
to your rear speakers, by simply moving a couple of plugs around, you can apply
the higher power amp to which ever speakers you like to custom “tune” the system
for your requirements.
Use supplied blue plug send
signal from expansion port of first
amp to input of second amp
