Pop the Amp on top of HK radio with the velcro, run the power to the battery you can run the ground to the battery or a bolt on the frame(right side steering neck). Run the blue turn on wire to a switched power.. cig lighter will do. Install the rings and grill cloth, put the speakers on.. 3-4 pilot holes (i did) but they come with self tapping screws.. put them in. Hook up the speaker wires to the speakers and push the button for non-rca connection. Put in your 30amp fuse on the power line. Switch the amp to high output and turn your bike on... adjust amp to your likeing.. easy...at least with a batwing... roadglide might do things a bit differently on amp placement... lots of write ups on the install on the hdforms..look around

this is a great seller and a great amp, i tested it for a little before i sold it, and the amp is awesome... great improvement over stock and awesome price for this package... the install is pretty straight forward, if using the stock head unit, you will need to use the high level input of the amp for the signal (instead of rca.s), the amp fits inside the fairing and runs pretty cool, unless you are running it at 2ohm, which it still is relatively cool, for such a small package)... anyhow, as Firecap stated it should take someone about 1.5 hours, to complete the install, just take your time and do things one at a time...

took me about 30 minutes to install... but I am no where close to new at doing this stuff... anyhow enough of my rant, I have lots to catch up with...

yes they make the 4ch, but it will not fit in the fairing, Normally with the UC we upgrade the front and let the head unit power the rear speakers, only mod to the rear is to add a good handfull of polyfill to the pods.

With the price that I am going to run this for I need a min. of 10 orders. I will go and edit the first post. Thanks for brining that to my attention.

I'm confused.

No wires to cut at all. I can install one in 45 min. The time consuming part is running the power and ground back to the battery. Power and ground to the battery, switched power wire to the outlet off of the head light harness, and unplug your stock speaker wires, and plug in the high level input and then install the rings and speakers tune it up and your done.

Thanks for the opportunity on the group buy/promo.

Sounds like a plan but would be interested in the improved digital amp. Did I understand that may be part of the deal?

OK, not an audiofile expert, just like my tunes loud. Questions, 09 HK head units use 2 ohm speakers. Your amp says 2 ohm stable, speaker link says 4 ohms. All this workie okie dokey? 09 Street Glide, so with this setup, what would power per channel be? THANKS !

The ARC XXD digital amps are not due till july, I will have one for testing next week. I have to get one in and see if it will fit in the fairing with a stock head unit. With the digital amp there are no high level inputs, so a High to Low converter will have to be used.

I will have a package with the digital amp after the testing is done, this buy is for the 125.2 mini amp.
