OE Connector removed from radio OE Connector removed from radio 2. The installation of the pre-wired harness is designed to work with multiple styles of aftermarket amplifiers with different types of inputs and outputs. Both input (white connectors) and output (black connectors) wires on the BC-9715 harness use Molex terminals that are pre-crimped onto the speaker leads; loose Molex connectors are included to allow the user to pin the connectors accordingly. If the amplifier uses Molex Micro Fit connectors for the inputs and outputs, simply match the amplifier’s speaker configuration and plug them in using the provided connectors. If the amp uses RCA inputs, pre-terminated Molex connectors with RCAs already wired are provided. The option to hardwire the speaker inputs and outputs would be the final option.

  • Page 13 MOBILE APP CROSSOVER ADJUST If installing a subwoofer, the front and rear outputs will default to a 100Hz high pass filter to keep the low frequency signals out. If a subwoofer is not being installed, change the front and rear crossover points down to 20Hz for a full range signal, or to the lowest frequency the speakers will play down to. Selecting High Pass and Low Pass will provide one crossover frequency adjustment. Band Pass should only be chosen if installing just front speakers, with one dedicated amp for the woofers/mids, a second dedicated amp for the tweeters, along with a subwoofer. Select the desired crossover slope, 24db, 36db, or 48 db. Higher is steeper, but it is recommended that one uses High Pass/24db octave slopes for crossovers on a bike.

  • Page 17 MOBILE APP INPUTS/LEVELS Clipping Level - Use this feature to protect sensitive speakers, like tweeters, from being driven past their capabilities. If the input signal of the DSP clips, the audio will be reduced by 20dB. Turning down the stereo will allow the audio to come back on at a normal level. The sensitivity of this feature can be adjusted to the listening preference of the user. Chime Volume - Not applicable at this time. Amp Turn On SignalSense - Will turn the amplifier on when an audio signal is detected, and keep on for (10) seconds past the last signal. This ensures the amplifier doesn’t shut off between tracks. Always On - Will keep the amplifiers on as long as the bike is cycled on. Turn-on Delay - Can be used to delay amp turn-on to avoid turn-on pops. Subwoofer Input - For selecting either a dedicated subwoofer input or summed from the front and rear inputs. REV. 10/15/21 INSTBC-DSPX-HD2...
