I'm getting all my stuff together to do my install. I want to maintain my CB so I'm sticking with the stock HU. For my hi input, rear especially, I want to put a plug then corresponding mating plugs on both ends of the amp. That way I can easily bypass / remove the amp if I need to without having to trim and resolder my factory wires. Same concept as making a install kit factory plug wiring harness.

My question is: inside of my fairing, do I need to worry about being a heavy duty weather plug. Such has a Deutsch? http://www.amazon.com/Deutsch-4-pin-Connector-housing-Terminals/dp/B00B4FCQCK/ref=pd_sim_sbs_e_1?ie=UTF8&refRID=01KAH8HN1NVZ0W57 X1PA
Or would a basic molex style work? http://www.amazon.com/Molex-4-Pin-Connector-0-093-quot/dp/B0009WBHLK/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1405354991&sr=8-1&keywords=molex+4+pin

This will be just for the hi level inputs, not the power / ground.

 

i think most of us just use standard "weather resistant" connectors - the cheap and easy crimp kind - inside the fairing

 

Why not just buy a harness from J&M, Hawg Wired, etc??? They all should have one that lets you use your speakers wires and converts them to RCA signals to use with the amps.

 

The Deutsch connectors are optimum because they are sealed.

However since you're behind the fairing, you can use simpler MOLEX connectors like these from Radio Shack: http://www.radioshack.com/product/in...ductId=2103250

The most important thing is actually solder the connections. After long exposure to vibration, moisture, oxygen and heat, a typical crimped copper wire can become oxidized, increase in resistance and lose conductivity.
