Help with Amp wiring
Hey guys, I am deep into the system upgrade on my 2015 Ultra. I have 2 Cerwin Vegas. They do both fit in the fairing BTW (I will post pictures when I have it done). My questions is where the hell to you grab the front and rear channels coming out of the BOOM HU to hook the RCA into the Amp??? I looked all over for instructions and can't find them anywhere.... Thanks!

There are wires in the harness from the HU out, no RCA's on the stock HU. My stock plug harness' plugged into a harness from BT which had wires which went into the amp. Then RCA's out of the amp to my LL which go to my speakers. My RGS had a separate plug for rears. (Ultra probably does too)

The picture helps a bunch Bert!
Other questions I have are:
1. Since I am running 2 4-channel AMPs, need to use RCA "Y" splitters to go from the Amp RCAs (which has 4 RCAs) to the LL RCAs (which only has 2 RCAs)?
2. I am confused on how to wire the speakers. I currently have the upper fairing set (which I have mounted in the BT brackets) and the rear touring speakers with existing wires. I don't have the stock wiring in place for the lower fairing or the Saddlebag lids. Do I just run all new speaker wires or are there wiring kits that I should be using?
3. I am hoping to use the fader controls on the HU. Do I need to do anything special with the speaker wiring to enable this?
Sorry for all the rookie Questions, thanks in advance!

everybody here is a rookie, including myself. Only dumb questions are the ones that don't get asked and then the dummerer questions are the ones that don't get asked and wind up costing you more time and $.
