My amp has a built in line leveler. Can I just splice the wires and put the ones running to the speakers to the outputs and then hook the ones coming from the HU to the inputs on the amp?

I cut off the RCA cables that's hooked to the molex connector and I'm wiring each wire to its respective place

Are you referring to the wire that came with the amp?

I am not familiar with the Powerbass amp. But what I do know is if you in fact have a Rushmore model touring bike and the stock radio you will need a BT Line Leveler to get a quality signal out of the radio. If you don't want to use a BT Line Leveler or a Line Out Converter then you can connect it as you suggest above. What speakers are you using? Let us know how it sounds.

It has Powerbass 6 1/2".....yes I was referring to the wiring that comes with the amp. As far as a Rushmore bike...I dunno. It just has a stock 4.3 head unit, no CB, no nav, no intercom

Does the inner fairing and radio look like this?

Yes, you have a Rushmore model.

Once you get the system installed let us know how it sounds.
