Need HELP with AMP hook up!!!
Any help would be appreciated. I am hooking up a kenwood 600 watt amp to my 2016 road glide. The amp has the high output plug and wires which I have identified to connect. My intent was to splice them to the pink/black and pink wires for the front speakers, but the harness plugged into the stock HU only has one set. I'm sure there is a harness I can order, but I need to hook it up today and hit the road. Already behind schedule. Thanks
UPDATE
So after digging a little further, I found all four wires near the harness that plugs into the HU. Now to find a good wire to spice the remote wire to.

What model Kenwood amp are you using?
Where are the power and ground from the amp connected to?
There is no splicing necessary to connect high level inputs.
Remove the stock speaker wires form the speakers. These are the wire used for the amp input. Crimp connectors onto the high level input harness wires for the amp that correspond to the existing speaker terminals.
Code:
Stock Front Speaker Wires
Color Speaker
PK RF +
PK/BK RF -
PK/O LF +
PK/GY LF -
Run 16ga wire from the amp output to the speakers in the correct polarity.
The positive wire on the lighter can be used for the remote turn on.
No sound more than likely means u have the output from the HU not getting to the amp properly, considering u have wired it properly from the amp to the speaks with POS to POS and NEG to NEG.
Start w the HU output and such input into the amp.
I jacked w one the other day and the HU output wires were simply labeled wrong.
