I was originally going to install the Hogtunes Ultra kit in my 2010 limited and changed my mind.

I am now thinking RF Punch amp and replacing the four stock speakers with the Infinity Kappa 62.11i. At some point I may ad some tweeters but more likely add lower speakers.


Main questions.


1. Do just the front speakers get hooked up to the amp and the rears stay attached to my stock radio?


2. Do I get the 2 or the 4 Channel amp?


3. Do most folks just remove the CB or relocate it?


Thanks, Mark

 

I would like to add to this for general purposes.

Whats with this 2ohm and 4ohm wiring and the parallel and series stuff?
If we get 4 channel amps and have 4 speakers HOW are they suppose to be wired!?

 

If you are running four speakers, at a minimum get a 4-channel amp. I'm not all that familiar with how Harley radios are wired under the fairing, but ultimately the speaker wires from the radio will go to the amps inputs and the amps outputs will be wired to the four speakers.

Here is a good link that explains Ohms, Watts, etc. http://www.crutchfield.com/S-fIdqBRQ...fers-ohms.html

 

CHIPMOVER - Sounds like you have an Ultra but what year?

Big L66 - Never worry about wiring your speakers in series. Only parallel under certain circumstances. The standard rule that we all try to accomplish is each speaker needs to have it's own channel. If you have a 4 channel amp. 4 speakers. If you have a two channel amp. 2 speakers.

Parallel is normally used with 4 ohm speakers with an amp that is 2 or 4 ohm compatible. Ohms is nothing more than resistance

Parallel wiring is used to reduce 4 ohm speakers down to two ohms so more speakers can be added to the mix. Example: If you have a 2 channel amp that is 2 ohm and 4 ohm compatible. You then have the ability to wire in 4 speakers in parallel. The load will be reduced to 2 ohms. In other words if your 2 channel amp is producing 300 watts RMS @ 4 ohms. That would be 150 watts per channel, per speaker. Wired in parallel each speaker (4) would receive 75 watts for a total of 300 watts.

The ideal scenario is to have a 4 channel amp wired to 4 speakers and a 2 channel amp wired to 2 speakers. Hope this helps!

 

Ah hah thank you on this one!
