Default CV b52 amp question

I just got my new hertz hcx 165 and was about to order the b52 amp just wondering how do you hook up the amp if the stock radio does not have rca.. does it use the speaker input to get the signal or do I need to buy a converter or something..

thanks jaime

What year bike? Either way contact Biketronics and they can get you set up with what you need. 10% off using HDFourm code and and i think another 5% off for labor day weekend using the code WORK

CORRECTION: just use the code work for 15% off.
