Connect them up at this end then we will make the same connection at the rear.

Connections are soldered and heat shrink is applied. Don't forget to put the heat shrink tubing on before you solder.

The rest of the unused wires in the harness are safed off and tucked back into the plastic tubing.

Now onto the rear to make the final connections there. What we have done is connected the rear speaker outputs from the radio to unused wires in the harness going back to the old amp. Now we need to connect the wires we are using to the rear speaker leads at the amp harness.

Here you see the rear amp harness with the plug removed and the plastic sleeve removed.

What i have done here is connected the rear speaker leads that go to the pods to the wires that i connected to the rear outputs up at the radio. I also shortened up and safed off the unused wires in the harness. This will make the bundle under the seat smaller when the tourpack is off.

Rear harness all closed up.

Here is a picture of the fairing with all the components installed and the final power connections made

That's it! This project is really not that difficult. A few connections to make and your good to go! Also If you were going to use the 4 channel amp to run the front and rear speakers the wiring would be similiar. I can help anyone out with that application as well.

Awesome job!   Thanks for the step by step. Oh and great photos! Nice macro too!

BTW. Please advise on the new speakers and let up know if there is much difference.

Thanks,

Jim, thank you for an outstanding write-up and pictures.

Is it necessary for the HD Digital Technician to turn "on" the fader control to provide an output signal to the rear speakers?  I ask because I recently added fairing lower speakers using the rear speaker outputs to provide the signal to those speakers and the dealer used the Digital Technician to "tell" the HK head unit that there were four speakers and "voila," I had a "Fader" function on the audio menu.

Great pictorial Jim, should help out a lot of people.

In this application No as it already had a 4 speaker system. For a SESG or Road Glide you would need to have the radio programmed to turn the rear outputs on.

You could just use the amp in 2-channel input mode and be able to have all four channels running. You would not have fade from upper to lower though.

Thanks for answering my question.
