Rushmore help with wiring
OK, so I've read many threads till my eyes have practically fallen out....!
I've installed the following pieces into my 2014 ultra:
Front fairing speakers ~ DD AW6.5 w AT28 tweets
BK speaker brackets
(2) JL MHX280/4
Alpine SPR60 (rear Speakers)
BK breakout harness w 2 LL
Installed 4 gauge wires from the battery to the fairing into a fused splitter to supply 8 gauge wires to the amps.
Now I am stuck and cannot figure the rest of the wiring, I feel terrible asking but I need help! PLEASE
The first picture shows the 2 line levelers ( I don't know which one is for the front speakers and which for the rear)
The second picture shows more wiring coming from the breakout harness, don't know what to do with that either?
I did buy 2 RCA (Y) harness with 2 male to male connectors, don't know how they are used. I've never hooked up amps before, I see that I need to have a trigger voltage to turn them on, GOT THAT.
On the JL Amp configuration paper I think I will need to wire the one called 2 Bridged Stereo Outputs?
Riding season is coming fast and I want to be ready, any help will be greatly appreciated.

the wires in your second pic that connect to the breakout harness can be removed and put back in the box marked "save in case I ever sell this"
As for which line leveler is which, the one with gray and white wires are the front. The one with the purple and green wires are the rears.
I'm trying to visualize your JL amp config. If you are running it bridged stereo, you will be using both RCA inputs to the amp. I believe you'll need 2 Y splitters for the one amp..one male into each channel of the LL then the split end make sure your follow the cords and put one in the Right front and one in the Right rear. Then the other cord out of the LL will split and go into the Left front and the Left rear. If you are bridging both these JLs, the exact same configuration will apply to the other one except you'll be using the rear LL. The wiring diagram for that configuration is pretty clear in the instructions.
I had a hard time finding male to male/male RCA splitters so I ended up using male to male barrel connectors because I had female into two male. The barrel went into the female end of the splitter then into the LL. Available on Amazon very inexpensively.

Thanks for the help Chris, I really appreciate it. I was totally confused with the extra wiring from the breakout harness.
I may have more questions when I get time to work on it again....at least the inside of the fairing looks awesome. LOL
