I've gotta figure out which wires are the speaker wires coming out of the back of the radio.

Follow them back to the radio. Label the fairing wires as they connect to the amp. And label the wires as they connect to the lower speakers.

They're bundled up in a wiring harness. I'll have to open that thing up. Was hoping it was easy lol.

Great guys on this forum!! Jay if we are talking about lower fairing speaker wires. They can be ran directly to the amp. No need to trace the wires back to the radio. Just cut them off and run speaker wires to the speaker side of the amp. Just make sure you tape the ends of the wires you cut.

Jaye the pic you posted of the plugs for the old amp and the new amp, your front speaker wires should still be attached to the plug for the old amp. As for the lowers, take the speakers out and see what color wires they are and trace them back into the fairing.

Lookin back at that pic it looks like the wires have already been cut. The wires they were attached to are you front speaker wires.

The wires wrapped in red tape are the wires going from the amp to the upper fairing speakers. Are those the ones you are saying are already cut?


Is this plug that went into my old amp, the speaker wires from the radio to the amp?

Soooo


I clip that connector off and wire that to the line levelers, then wire the line leveler to the amp with an RCA, and then wire the speakers to the amp.

The lower speakers... I have to track the wires coming up from the speakers through the wiring harness to the radio to find the wires coming out of the back of the radio.

Is that all correct?
