Default cerwin vega amp

I just got my cerwin vega b2 amp today. I am going from a Rockford fosgate pbr 300x2. Does anyone have any wiring instructions for this? HU-STOCK, 2 SPEAKERS ONLY, 2012 STREETGLIDE. The wiring from amp is confusing.

should be exactly the same brother. The inputs get your speaker wires and the outputs go to your speakers. Connect the power and ground from the PBR. You might need to run a remote wire from your headlamp (orange wire) to the amp.

Chances are you cut the harness on the input of your PBR to run the high level wires. You'll need to do the same for this one, or get yourself a high to low RCA converter.

BT uses the PAC one. Amazon has them for about 10 bucks. Is a PAC-15 think.

I'm running the b4 amp. It does kick ***! Wiring was pretty straight forward on my install I find myself turning it up maybe a bit much sometimes (bout all the time ) but man it sounds good and clear. Hope yall find it the same. Enjoy

Now that i need to look for a new head unit, what suggestions do u recommend? I am only keeping this bike for a couple more years. Already have the amp, ipod interface, speakers. Just need a replacement hu. I would like to keep handlebar controls also. Ironcross will fix old for $250.00 but not sure.

Lots of good head unit choices out there. The problem is in retaining the hand controls, as well as mounting the unit itself. Almost all head units today are available with bluetooth and USB ports. Streaming music from your phone couldn't be easier. I myself run a Sony MEX unit and a biketronics Retro Radio install kit. http://www.biketronics.com/bt1005x-1...858.1422707637

I looked at the biketronics retro kit. That looks good and easy enough + looking at sony mex-GS810BH HEAD UNIT.
