It's much easier to keep this all in one thread.


The wires on the left side of the LL/converter go to the speaker wires coming out of the radio. Right + & - and Left + & -. If the previous amp was wired correctly, you can hold the plug up to the old amp and label each wire using the diagram on the amp. Right + & - and Left + & -.
Cut the wires and connect them to the corresponding wires converter.


The RCA cables on the right side of the converter connect to the Front channel Inputs on Amp.
The screw-downs on the other side of the Amp will go out to the speakers. You will want to tin the wires with solder before screwing them down. Putting a small amount of Blue Loctite on the very top of the screw threads will help them from coming loose.

You will need a set of RCA cables as Gann pointed out.
Connect the lower speakers in the same way using a second converter, rear inputs, and rear screw-downs. Don't forget to label those wires as you remove them from the speakers.

I can just pull one of my 602's out of my upper fairing and pop it in there and see if they fit, since now I've gotta wait for the new lower speakers to come in.

What about the SNI-35 line levelers? Was the link I posted a couple of posts back what I'm needing? Just trying to get everything ordered.

So the speaker wires coming from the radio go to the line leveler. Then RCA from leveler to amp. Then screw downs wired to the speakers. Is that right?

When you take those speakers out of the lowers you need to make sure the grill will fit flush in the hole. I'm certain the 602 will fit in the lowers but since this stuff was on the bike I doubt you have an Arc grill to test fit.
Yes the link you provided earlier is what you need. You can get by with only one but personally I'd use two of them.

Jaye this is what you want it to look like when finished. Smooth and flush.

Yes. They will fit. You will have to paint them black though. They come in silver mesh.... Lol

P.S The arcs will not look as good as the example Bates provided. His grills are perfect. The arcs will stick out a little. Not completely flush like Bates.

That is correct. Looks like I posted to the wrong thread...
I'm going to copy this to the other thread to keep it together.
