The speaker connections on the BT module are used with an amp. The RCA outputs on the HU connect to the amp and the amp outputs to the speakers.

I am not familiar with the Sony HU. Thanks for clarifying that.

As for speaker wires, RG/SG/SGS/RGS uses the harness for the rear channels (assuming this is on Bertz SG and not his Ultra

)

Yes this is on the SG. I just use the BT modual to power the HU.

I'm running two BT 4180's in my fairing and just ran both power and grounds directly to the battery. Less parts to troubleshoot if something stops working and the way Harley's vibrate I would worry about those distribution blocks coming loose or the plastic caps cracking.

Either way posts some pics when your done, you guys have some clean installs.
