Default Boom audio stage 2 upgrade

Let me first say this is on a 2015 road glide special. I had the stage 2 amp and speakers installed at the dealership, I purchased the saddlebag amplifier and speakers stage 2 to add and try and install on my own. It seems with Harley's instruction manual you need to learn a foreign language to understand them. I'm wondering if anybody can simplify the install process at the point after speaker and amplifier have been installed in the saddlebags. Sorry you have to dumb it down a little bit for me to understand it any help would be appreciated.

the wiring should be fairly simple. rear-speaker wire goes from head unit to amp to speakers in bags. amp gets wired up to direct power, a relay for on/off, etc.

i dont know much about the Boom! system beyond the fact that it is incredibly low quality equipment sold for outrageously high prices

PM Copyless. He installed his system (before removing it) and may have some insight. All the connections are via wiring harness. The front amp uses the front speaker connections while the saddlebag uses the rear. The tourpak amp connects to the harness under the rear seat back so I'd assume the saddlebag amp does also. If you are on a Street Glide I don't know where the harness connects.

I believe they are behind the left side panel where the fuse box is, that connection where the second amp gets the input from the radio ?
