Rear Speaker Harness Installation Instructions Installation procedure 1. You will see that one end of this harness has two 4-pin connectors. One of these white 4-pin plugs will plug into the "amplified out" on the amp that will power the rear speakers. The amplifier comes with a short harness with a black 8-pin plug and two 4-pin blue plugs. Plug the 8-pin black plug into the amplifier's input that will power the rear speakers. The second 4-pin plug marked "rear in" on the rear speaker harness will plug into one of the blue 4-pin connectors, noting they will only go in one way. 2. The harness that will run the rear speakers will pass under the inner fairing on the clutch side of the bike. Loosen the tank's "chrome console" and run the wires up and over the gas tank, but under the tank's chrome console. There is a provision on the front of the console for wires to pass under it allowing the power harness to run on the brake side of the filler spout and the rear speaker harness to run on the clutch side of the spout. NOTE: Although not necessary, the power and rear harnesses can go under the gas tank if you choose to remove and re-install the tank. With the tank removed you will see a factory wire channel where wires pass along the bike's frame. Removing the top of the channel will allow for the power and rear speaker harness to be safely run under the tank to the battery area. When reinstalling the top of the channel take care not to pinch any wires along the edges of the channel. 3. Just behind the threaded insert that holds the seat bolt on the back fender, you will see a large factory wire plug. One side of the plug has wires that go to each rear speaker pod. Separate this large factory plug. One plug from the KENWOOD rear harness will plug into each side of the factory plug just separated. They will only go together one way.

Rear Speaker Harness Installation Instructions
Installation procedure
1. You will see that one end of this harness has two 4-pin connectors. One of these white
4-pin plugs will plug into the “amplified out” on the amp that will power the rear speakers.
The amplifier comes with a short harness with a black 8-pin plug and two 4-pin blue
plugs. Plug the 8-pin black plug into the amplifier’s input that will power the rear speakers.
The second 4-pin plug marked “rear in” on the rear speaker harness will plug into one of
the blue 4-pin connectors, noting they will only go in one way.
2. The harness that will run the rear speakers will pass under the inner fairing on the clutch
side of the bike. Loosen the tank’s “chrome console” and run the wires up and over the gas
tank, but under the tank’s chrome console. There is a provision on the front of the console
for wires to pass under it allowing the power harness to run on the brake side of the filler
spout and the rear speaker harness to run on the clutch side of the spout.
NOTE:
Although not necessary, the power and rear harnesses can go under the gas tank if
you choose to remove and re-install the tank. With the tank removed you will see a factory
wire channel where wires pass along the bike’s frame. Removing the top of the channel
will allow for the power and rear speaker harness to be safely run under the tank to the
battery area. When reinstalling the top of the channel take care not to pinch any wires
along the edges of the channel.
3. Just behind the threaded insert that holds the seat bolt on the back fender, you will see
a large factory wire plug. One side of the plug has wires that go to each rear speaker pod.
Separate this large factory plug. One plug from the KENWOOD rear harness will plug into
each side of the factory plug just separated. They will only go together one way.
