That's another question Jim will need to answer Brian.  I could see this plug in amp not working with the SEEGs.  They've got that "other" radio with the amplifier harness and use the audio output from that secondary amp harness.

The original audio outputs are still there though.  So it's probably an option after all.  Nothing is ever simple is it ?

The quick disconnect on my fuel crossover line makes it simple.  Off in 10 minutes.  Never even worry about how much fuel is in it.  Not having that line makes it more a nuisance and would take longer of course.  As dedicated a detailer as you are I'm surprised you don't tank yank every so often just to really do a good job on the rocker boxes.

What I can't see doesn't bother me.

OK, nuts, I never even thought of that.

No.

I'm to afraid I'd be a "tank scratcher/dropper".

Am I hearing that the tank has to be removed to install the hot lead to the battery?
Why?

Now that's a first you might have just saved me from adding something to my wishlist (spending money).

Chip, on the larger version of this amp system there's a 10ga power cable that goes from the amp to the battery.  The battery certainly doesn't have to be removed to route it.  But to make sure it's strapped down and run in a way that satisfies me I always pull the tank on the few of these I've put in.  When you installed yours recently you might have just raised the rear end of the tank and fished it through.  A lot have been installed that way.  No problem at all.  I'm just very anal retentive about cable and harness routing.

Jim will clarify.  It'll probably be as simple as plugging the intereconnect in the standard harness and then using the "other" set of speaker wires that are already tied off up close to the speakers.

No fishing through.
Pulled it through.
I assume you know the best thing to use to pull a line through the tank?

Chip, there's actually enough room with the tank raised up to just hand it through.  I meant fish as in work it through, not as in using a fish tool.  I don't do it that way just because I like to get it through an existing strap and get the rest of the routing exactly where I want it.  Just me being overly careful/anal retentive.

Easy for you to say. I tried to do that to get my orange plug wires on and my hand wouldn't fit in there to get the plug loose. Sometimes big hands are a PIA!!

I can't do plug wires either Gary.  Not even close.  Wear an XL glove and plug wires just laugh at me.  The only reason can sneak those cables through is because they start outside the tank.  So if you hold your mouth right it can get started in the right direction and keep going far enough to grab it on the other end.  Have done that a couple of times with precisely these amp cables we're talking about.  Both times was then not satisfied with how I could see their routing.  So finished lifting the tank anyway.

So I raised the tank (maybe 3/4") at the rear on Nancy's bike and looked through and could see a little daylight.
Yep, plenty of room for that cable.
But how do I fish it through?
I looked around the garage.
Then noticed two tour paks with the whip antenna's.
Removed the antenna and at approx 4' long a great way to fish a line back through.
Ball on antenna is bigger than the 10GA. hot wire so no issues there.
Fed it from front of tank to rear with the greatest of ease, taped the lead to the antenna and pulled it back through.
Dropped the tank back down, tightened it back and then made sure there was no binding of the hot lead and that was done!

Put antenna back on tour pak!

That's the best tool of convenience idea I've heard in a long time.  Too cool .
