Installation Considerations before attempting Install,

  1. Be sure to carefully read and understand the instructions before attempting to install these speakers.
  2. For safety, disconnect the negative battery terminal from the battery prior to beginning the installation.
  3. For easier assembly, we suggest you run all wires prior to mounting speakers in place
  4. Use high quality connectors for a reliable installation an d to minimize signal or power loss.
  5. Think before you drill! Be careful not to cut or drill into gas tanks, fuel lines, brake or hydraulic lines, vacuum lines or electrical wiring when w orking on any vehicle. If installation in a boat, take care not to cut or drill through the main hull.
  6. Never run wires underneath the vehicle. Running the wires inside the vehicle or hull area provides the best protection.
  7. Avoid running wires over or through sharp edges. Use rubber or plastic grommets to protect any wires routed through metal, especially the firewall.

Step 1. Remove saddle bag lids, seat, gas tank and fairing cover from Motorcycle.
Step 2. Using masking tape, tape over the painted portion of your saddle bag lids.
NOTE: This will prevent any scratching of the factory paint during the installation process.
NOTE: Make sure the template fits snug on all sides and corners of the saddlebag lid before securing.

Step 3. Apply the template to the saddlebag lid and secure using (2) screws that came with the kit.
NOTE: There is a brake and clutch side specific template for each lid. You can use a 1/8” drill bit to predrill holes before screwing the templates to the lid. Be sure the template is secure and wont move.
Step 4. Once the template is secured, use 5/16” drill bit and drill holes in the template.
NOTE: We suggest drilling at every segment to make sawing easier.
Step 5. Using a jigsaw, follow along the template.
NOTE: DO NOT cut the segments of the template until all of the slots have been cut. This will help maintain accuracy and fitment for the grilles.
NOTE: When cutting, be sure that the saw blade stays in between the edges of the template. Cutting into the template will lead to fitment issues.
Step 6. Next you will attaché the speaker, grille and mounting ring to the lid using the supplied screws.
NOTE: It is easiest to place the grill into the hole that has been cut into the lid and place upside down on a bench. Then place the appropriate mounting ring onto the grille, along with the speaker. Secure with the supplied screws.
Step 7. Run the main harness up the back bone of the bike and into the amplifier under the fairing.
Step 8. Drill a 3/4” hole on the inside of the bag for the saddlebag harness. Once the hole is drilled, insert through the hole and secure the grommet.
Step 9. Place the adhesive backed plastic cable tie mounting tab to the inside of the bag (optional tie mounts)
Step 10. Route the wire along the inside of the bag and secure.
Step 11. Reattach your saddlebag lid and connect the harness to the speaker.
Step 12. Test the system and reassemble the motorcycle.
