Section 2 - Single Amplifier Installation in Road Glide/RG Ultra - Cont.
6. As shown by "D" in Figure 2.1, on the clutch side of the bike, there is a 2 pin connector
with pink/pink with black stripe wires going through it. The plug is close to where the
wires enter the clutch side speaker cabinet. Separate the connector so there are now 2
plugs. From the amp, take the plug with brown/black wires and plug it into the mating
plug that was just separated, noting it will only go in one way. Also from the amp, take
the plug with yellow/black wires and plug it into the mating plug that was just separated
noting it will only go in one way.
7. Attach the black wire to the negative (-) battery terminal and the red wire to the
positive (+) battery terminal. The factory battery wires are also re-installed at this point.
When attaching the power and ground wires, it is always a good practice to do the
negative (black) first. When the positive connector touches the battery, some sparking is
normal. This is a function of the capacitors in the amplifiers charging up.
Turn the stereo on at low volume and test to make sure the speakers are working. Now is
a good time to "clean up" and secure the wires using the supplied zip ties. DO NOT attach
any of the amplifier's wiring to any factory antenna wires!
IMPORTANT: With all wires secured, turn the front
wheel to each extreme side making sure that any wires
cannot bind or impede the steering of the motorcycle.
Failure to do so can cause an accident resulting in
serious injury or death!
If you are installing a second XM160-2 amplifier, please go to Section 3 of this manual.
If this is the only amplifier being installed, please go to "Final System Adjustments" on
page 10 of this manual.
Section 3 - Adding a Second XM160-2 to the Bike
1. Remove the seat and both wires (+ and -) from the battery. Remove the outer fairing/
headlamp assembly and set it aside. Refer to a service manual if you need help with this.
2. You will now need to run the second power harness to the battery. For Street Glide/
Ultra, refer to Step #7, on page 4, in Section 1 of this manual. For Road Glide/RG Ultra,
please refer to Step #2, on page 7, in Section 2 of this manual for running the power
harness. DO NOT re-attach the power wires to the bike at this time!
3. Remove the new amp you are installing off the plate it came on in the box. Put that
plate aside as it is not used in this installation. If installing a second amp in a Street Glide
or Ultra, the second amp will be installed on the plate already on the bike as shown below
in Fig 3.1 below. Make sure to have the 4 pin black "pigtail" sit on top of the amp when
sticking it in place.
