2 amp installation in fairing on 09 Ultra
Thought I'd share this with you guys.
About 6 months ago I bought 2 small footprint 2-channel amps to put in my aftermarket fairing that iv'e never heard of. I never got around to it until today when I installed them in my 09 Ultra fairing. I've got hogtunes speakers in both front and rear locations and the factory headunit.
the amps can be found here..

the only other thing you'll need is 2 speaker level to RCA adapters to maintain "proper fading function front to rear" although not required because the amps accept high-level inputs also. RCA is cleaner so I went that route.
bought the adapters from best buy for $20 each.
the amps were $45 ea when I bought them.
couple of fuse holders = $5
2 RCA cables = $10
all told I've got $145 and about an hour to install invested here.
these little amps sound AWESOME!!!!
wiring:
power i obtained from the orange-white wire behind the headlight
ground I went straight to the frame with it where the fairing is bolted to the forks.
front right speaker
grey-red = positive
green-black = negative
front left speaker
beige-orange = positive
green-white = negative
right rear speaker
dark green = positive
lt green-brown = negative
left rear speaker
brown = positive
white-brown = negative
the front speaker wires can be found on the #27 plug on the right side (if you're sitting on the bike right) of the back of the radio.
the rear speaker wires can be found on the #28 plug on the left side of the back of the radio.
i know these are not in comparison to anything like firecaps amps or hogtunes amps or haw wired amps you've guys used but just thought I'd share with you a cheaper alternative that seems to work VERY WELL. I don't know the build quality of these nor how long they'll last but figured it was worth a try. I'll keep you posted on my experiences with the amps...
FRIKING BLEW ME AWAY at the sound improvement!
