Default Rushmore Wiring Diagram

Hello all....I've been a lurker here for a long time. I am really impressed with the knowledge here and willingness to share. I am working with Haze on a new install in my 2014 Ultra.
Thus far I have purchased the following:

1 set of AW6.5 and AT28's
2 JL audio mhx280/4
1 set BT speaker brackets
1 BT breakout harness and 2 BT355 LL
Noico sound proofing
Alpine SPR-60 speakers (rear)
2 amp wiring kits....

I am know getting ready to start the install and was wondering if anyone has done a wiring diagram for the Rushmore installs, I have started to piece together one and instead of "reinventing" the wheel I put it out there if anyone has one. I did alot of searching on this forum and did not find one yet. I think it would be very helpful to myself and others attempting the install. I have a back ground in plant engineering and would be willing to draw up diagrams for systems and possibly see if there should be a sticky for it.

Wiring diagram is in the shop manual. Why would you need it? You won't be tapping into any of the stock wiring other than the remote turn on which is a $6 splitter with purple and black wires that your local HD shop will have in stock.

What I am referring to is all the interconnections of the speakers, amps, crossovers, tweeters, etc. Now if that is in the shop manual, please forgive my ignorance.

There are bits & pieces of wiring information spread throughout the audio forum, but nothing specific to your installation.

The manual for your amps will show you how to properly bridge them.

Biketronics has great instructions and/or videos for installation of the brackets & line levelers.

There are various diagrams on how to wire the cross-overs, in conjunction with the components you've purchased. You can do an internet search or one here on the forum to find this information.

Let us know if we can help.

WTR thanks for the response, yours is one I have been watching closely because of the same components. I got my bike all apart and am going to start on the install next week. I'll be coming back to the forum for help without a doubt.

Are you going to mount the amps side by side above the headunit or mount one vertically on the BT speaker bracket?

Did you get (4) RCA "Y" adapters? You'll need a pair per amplifier.

That's a great question....I've seen the pic of the one mounted on the BT speaker bracket and was going to go that route, but wanted to see if they will fit side by side above the radio first. Have you tried them side by side? If so that is the route I will go.

I haven't tried them side by side but it looks like they may fit.

Using the BT brackets really frees up a lot of room inside the fairing, so the BT355 shown in the picture of my build could be moved elsewhere and that, combined with moving the amp back another 5/8" or so, might allow them to sit side by side.
