Default 2016 Street Glide - plug-n-play (?) OEM to after-market amp wiring harness

I am hopeful that you all can help me solve what seems to be a major hurdle for me. Other than buying a kit, like Rockford / ARC / Soundz Customz / Biketronics and others, I cannot find anyone that has the OEM harness that would allow me to make the connection from my 2016 HD SG w/Boom Box 6.5GT to an amp. I am looking at either going with Stinger or Mmats for amplification and the Mmats 601cx for the fairing speakers and pre-wire for the lids since that might be next year's project. I contacted Stinger and I am still waiting for a response but found nothing on their website and Mmats said they don't have a wiring harness as I mentioned, just kits for the amp install (power/speakers). I am also trying to be somewhat frugal in my spending but still have a nice sounding system.

Metra has one but it looks like a whole lot of cutting and splicing is involved and I want to avoid that as much as possible.

Am I unrealistic in thinking I can get this done in a more plug-n-play manner than cutting and splicing?

I welcome your suggestions.

Thank you.

You need the Biketronics BT355 line leveler. You will still need to run separate power, ground, and remote turn on wires for the amp.

You either need a) a BikeTronics Line Leveler (as Stuntmeat said) OR b) a digital sound processor OR c) to have your head unit flashed (costs as much or more than a line leveler). The stock head unit puts out a bass heavy EQ that is not good for aftermarket amps or speakers. The BikeTronics line leveler will come with the necessary wiring to plug directly into your OEM connectors and is the most cost effective solution. A Digital Sound Processor gives the most control and growth potential, but it doesn’t sound like the route you are looking for.

American Hardbag or Garagebagger Audio has them. Be warned though, they are not cheap. Both are very nice products that I have purchased myself.
(I can remember buying cars for less than that)

Thank you for the feedback. I wasn't intending on using BT355 because I can flash it.

To help me better process all of this is to see a picture of what connections/harnesses come in the box with the Mmats MD4110 and the Stinger SPX700X4. I'm pretty clear on wiring up the Amp's power/ground/remote turn-on and the overall wiring order (HU=>Amp=>Speaker).

Can someone share a picture of what's included in the box with the Mmats MD4110 and the Stinger SPX700X4? Their websites pics only show the amp, no wiring that might also be included, and we already know they are all high-level inputs and outputs.

My goal is to keep this as plug and play as possible and not cut any factory wiring.

Thank you.

i am currently looking to buy 1 amp that will support 2 pairs of speakers, Fairing and lowers.

already flashed my Boom Head Unit by RF, so the EQ is flat.

who has Direct PnP Harness from Boom Head Unit to New Amp?
