Jumping on the band wagon...
Jumping on the band wagon...
Well, I pulled the trigger on a new audio system for my 2010 Ultra Classic last night.
Kenwood KDC-X998 HU
SS PN4.520 Amp
BT 7.1 120w speakers for the front
BT RetroKit
Infinity Kappa 62.11i's for the rear
I have 8 gauge wire to use for the Amp.
My question is will I be ok with the stock speaker wires?
I seem to remember reading that it would be fine but I have looked so deep into every forum with any kind of audio info that I can't remember where I saw that. (I think it was UN that had said it...)
Now the wait for parts and the install.
I'm hoping to get it installed before I head to Daytona Mar 11th.
Thanks.

Congrats on the set up. You're bike is going to sound GREAT! Get ahead of your install and start pulling stuff out now.
The stock wires work, but really a cable of wires is cheap 10 - 12 bucks. I'd probably grab a roll and use thicker cables for my own piece of mind.

I got it all installed yesterday.
SOUNDS GREAT!!
I need/want to adjust the amp gains a little better.
I tried with DMM but for some reason I was not getting a voltage change so I gave up and set by ear, and my ears SUCK so I am going to try again to make sure I am getting all I can without damaging any speakers. :-)
Thanks to everyone that did all the trial and error before me and posted about it!
And Ultra, that amp install idea is BRILLIANT!
