Wild Boar Audio WBC 1654 User manual

Rev 1.0
The Speakers In This Kit Are 4 Ohms And
Made Specifically For ‘14+ Rushmore
Platform FLHX/FLHTCU Bikes

Thank-you for your purchase of Wild Boar Audio’s Gen 1, 6.5”, 4 ohm front
speakers specifically made for “Rushmore” platform Street Glide® and Ultra
Classic® models. We want your new speakers to work as well as they were
designed to, so if you have any questions or concerns, please know we are here
to help. Wild Boar Audio is Hogtunes high end product, so please email
[e-mail] or call us during regular business hours (EST) at
705-719-6361. If you still need help, then please consider a professional
installation by your dealer.
Installation Instructions:
Step #1: Make sure the ignition switch stays in the “OFF” position. 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 fasteners, etc.
Step#2 - Speaker Cabinet Removal: On the brake side speaker cabinet,
carefully remove the cable going into the power port/cigarette lighter
assembly. If your bike has the CB module (mounted “sideways” on the clutch
side cabinet) undo the antenna cable and main harness. The CB Module will
stay attached to the clutch side cabinet when removed. Undo the speaker
wire plugs going into each cabinet (pink & pink with black stripe wires).
Removing the Factory Cabinets: It is STRONGLY suggested to complete the
speaker swap on one side before moving to the other side! Figure 1.1 and 1.2
(below) have arrows that point to all 8 factory fasteners (per side) that will
be removed to allow each cabinet to come out of the bike. Although the
brake side is shown below, all 8 fastener locations are common for both
brake and clutch side cabinets. In Fig 1.1 you will see where the speaker wire
exits the cabinets. The 3 cabinet fasteners below the speaker wire are 7/16”
heads that will also accept a 3/16” allen head. A “ratcheting box end” or
“ball end” allen wrench will make removing these 3 fasteners much easier!

Step #3 - Installing the Wild Boar Audio WBC 1654 Speaker: With the
cabinet removed from the bike, undo the 4 screws that hold the factory
speaker to the cabinet and put these screws aside. Pull the factory speaker
away from the cabinet and carefully take off each speaker wire by un-doing
one at a time. Take a Wild Boar Audio speaker and attach the speaker wires
noting the factory speaker wire connectors will lock into place on the
speaker. Sit the Wild Boar Audio speaker into the cabinet noting the
speaker MUST be oriented so that the wires are in the bottom (6 o’clock)
position so the speaker frame will not touch the small locator peg that
sticks out from the face of the cabinet. If the speaker is not placed
correctly, the speaker may not “seal” correctly to the cabinet and the bass
response will be terrible! Using the supplied screws (which are longer than
the factory screws), attach the new speaker to the cabinet.
Repeat Step #3 for the second cabinet. Plug the factory speaker wires back
into the cabinet’s speaker wires and the speakers are ready to test. Make
sure to plug the power cable back into the power port/cigarette lighter
assembly on the brake side. If the bike has the CB module, make sure to
re-install the antenna cable and main harness. Re-install the fairing and
windshield and your new speakers are ready to enjoy!
Note: For best performance, we recommend using these speakers with a
minimum 75 watts per channel RMS amplifier. If these speakers are used
without an amp, it will not harm the factory radio. The higher impedance of
these speakers (over the stock 2Ω speakers) will simply cause the radio to
produce half the watts it would with 2 Ω speakers.
The speakers crossover has a current sensitive (PTC) switch built in which
will turn the tweeter off to protect it from failing. This should only happen
in extreme volume conditions. The tweeter will turn back on once the poly
switch cools down to safe operating levels.
