Default installing a fosgate pbr 300x2 HELP

ok im on my second amp ( thank you amazon)
i had the gain set way up on my amp sounding good then i got a burning smell at 70 mph i shut the radio down got home adjusted the gain down . take bike out next day burning smell again then the amp started cutting out .. so im guessing i smoked the amp..when i hook new amp up i want to double check everything ,the positive and negative out of factory radio ??????i had no RCA connectors

UltraNutZ has step-by-step instructions for the RF PBR300x2 in a "Sticky" at the top of the Audio Forum for various models. I think the instructions are for the RF paired with Polk MM651 speakers, but you can substitute any speaker. Just follow the instructions and you will be good too go. I would suggest that you set the amp to HP with freq between 60-80hz and there is no need for RCA connectors.

Here is a diagram that shows the factory wire colors and which are positive and negative. This diagram is for wiring a 4ch Soundstream amp, so for the RF, you'll only be concerned with the front channels or left side of the pic.

instructions tell you every detail you need to know.

What are you wanting to know that's not in the instructions?

Ground HAS TO GOTO BATTERY.....I lost a RF am due to grounding to faring...RF sent out a service bulletin about it...the bearings in neck short out the ground if you go under faring

RF did put out a service bulletin which is also in the stickys above but bearings in neck have nothing to do with anything. It's about the grounding points having too much resistance for RF amps.
