What wiring stuff do I need?
Hi
Bike is a 13 road glide custom.
I got the bt2180 amp, mounting bracket and retro radio kit. I have arc audio 602 motor speakers and matching brackets on order from phat. Gonna order the Sony mex-70bt head unit soon.
Just gonna run the two speakers in the fairing only.
Having never played with this audio stuff before or had the fairing off on my bike, I assumed I wouldn't need to buy anything else. I thought the speakers would come with wire and everything else I bought or am buying should be plug and play with what comes in the box.
Am I missing anything? Lots of talk here about rca cables and all sorts of stuff.
Thanks

+1 on a better ground. Best bet is to run both power and ground to battery. BT recommends in the fairing and only gives enough wire length to do that, but I recently had to re-ground on an install last week after using the recommended spot. Granted, after a dozen BT amp installs this was the first issue, but best to avoid potential problems altogether.
