device, such as smartphones, iPods, MP3 Players, Sirius Satellite, AM/FM radios or any other device with a standard headphone jack (3.5mm output).

4. Mounting Options
Possible speaker mounting locations include: Possible amplier mounting locations include:
• Handlebars • Spotlight Mounting Bar • Under The Seat • Fork Bag
• Engine Guard/Highway Bars • Forks • Side Tool Compartment • Windshield Bag
• Luggage Rack • Risers • Saddlebag • Front Down Tubes
It’s worth taking some time to consider the best location for your speaker system. While many options are possible, choose one that will look best from
both the front and back, give you optimal sound and not interfere with vehicle operation or safety. An ideal location is behind a windshield** on your
handlebars using the provided three-piece mounting brackets. Mounting here brings the speakers closer to the rider for optimal sound and appearance.
(**Windshield is not required, but will offer a louder sound due the reduced windnoise).
5. Installation Instructions
Review all instructions as well as important notes located at the end of this section before starting installation.
Step 1: Mount the Speaker Clamps
Unscrew the allen screws from one side of the clamp to install the clamp. Mount to your handlebars, highway bars or other location and ensure all 4 allen
screws on each clamp are securely tightened. The clamps themselves will tighten to the bar when the speakers are installed.
Step 2: Mount the Speakers
Remove the nut and lock washer only and feed the speaker wire through the clamp hole and mount each speaker to the clamp. Put the lock washer and nut
back on and tighten speaker to clamp. (Flat washer and lock washer go on the bottom). Make sure they are tightly and safely secured without any
movement, but do not over tighten. Run the speaker wires down to where you are going to mount the amplifier, being careful to avoid the engine or any
area that could cause heat or other damage to the wire/vehicle or inhibit your driving ability.
Step 3: Amplifier Power Hook Up
Find a place where you want to mount the amplifier away from direct exposure to the elements such as a tool compartment, under the seat, fork bag,
saddlebag, windshield bag, etc. Most places will be fine, but try to avoid areas that could cause overheating (such as places wrapped in foam or cotton).
Take the BLACK (-) ground wire and run it to the negative (-) battery terminal (or to the vehicle’s chassis where paint has been removed). Take the RED (+)
positive wire and connect it to the positive (+) battery terminal. Take the YELLOW remote-on wire and connect it to a switched power source (remote-on
wire). This can be a headlight or taillight or something else that comes on and off with the bike. This allows the system to turn on and off with the bike and
prevent battery drain. A fuse tap or tapa-circuit fuse adapter is the easiest and best option for this (or use our H-D T-Tap, sold seperately)
(**The YELLOW wire must be connected to a switched power source (headlight, tallight, etc). If yellow, black & red wires are not connected, system will NOT work.
Step 4: Amplifier to Speaker Hook Up
Connect the black wire with white stripes/dashes (-) from the left speaker to the green wire from the amp.
Connect the solid black wire with no stripe (+) from the left speaker to the brown wire from amp.
Connect the black wire with white stripes/dashes (-) from the right speaker to the dark blue wire from the amp.
Connect the solid black wire with no stripe (+) from the right speaker to the orange wire from amp.
Step 5: Amplifier Low Input (For connecting your audio device)
If you wish to also use your own audio device, then nd the black cable with the 3.5mm earphone jack on one end and the red & white (RCA) plug on the
other end. Plug the red and the white ends into the corresponding Low input of the Amplifier. Run the other end of the wire up to your audio device (iPod,
MP3 player, satellite, walkman, etc) and plug it into the headphone jack of this device OR plug it directly in to an optional Bluetooth Module (available on our
website) and follow its instructions. Keep in mind if you add a Bluetooth module, this will add a 2nd remote to your handlebars and you will need to adjsut
volume in 2 different places as well.
Step 6: Run and mount the Wired Remote
Attach the wired remote to your handlebar using the included P-Clamp and run the wire to the amplifier and plug in
Step 7: Load MP3 Drive
Load your USB drive w/ MP3 FORMAT ONLY songs from your computer. You can plug this in to your computer and copy songs to it for permanent access
on the amplifier. ***Be sure to use MP3 ONLY format or the system will not work correctly. If you need assistance with this step, please contact us and
we can help!
***If something is not working correctly or you have poor or no sound or receive feedback, please re-check all wires, including remote and positive
connections and confirm that your system is connected to a good ground. Confirm that no wires are stripped or melted and touching metal. If available,
also test the system using a different audio device. If you still have issues, check out our troubleshooting tips under the FAQ & Support section of our
website or initiate a Live Chat with one of our technician for additional assistance (after-hours support via email at [email protected]).

6. Important Installation Notes
When first listening to your system, you will need to adjust the levels and/or EQ on your audio device as well as the bass, treble and gain on
the amplifier. We recommend starting the gain at a low level and slowly turning it up until you reach optimal sound quality.
Are you using a phone charger or satellite radio?
If after installation you receive a whining/feedback sound in your speakers, call or email us to request a free ground loop isolator.
Amplifier Remote Controller and FM Radio Function
The amp will always start in MP3/USB mode and will turn on and off with the bike. Press the middle power button to cycle through sources (audio device, FM
and USB). Hold to turn off manually. To program FM stations, switch to FM mode and hold the Play/Pause button until it starts to scan stations and the FM
light flash. Wait for all stations to scan and the light to stop flashing. Your stations are now programmed to the forward and back buttons. You may also
press and hold the forward or back button to manually scan stations.
Keep the amplifier input (headphone jack) from touching any bare metal when there is no device plugged into the jack or you may get static or popping
through the speakers when the bike is on.
**IMPORTANT: Make sure the speakers, amplifier and any wires or other components will not interfere with your steering, gauges, line of sight, or
anything else that could affect or inhibit your driving ability or vehicle operation and that all wires are away from hot engine/pipe areas, and that everything
is secured to your vehicle.
