Audio harness question (sidecar)
The sidecar kit purchased from HD came with an amp that mounted under the tourpak for the sidecar audio. The sidecar has it's own volume, comm port, and channel selector *****, basically the same as passenger controls. The signal comes to the sidecar from the HU.
I believe the amp is the same as the CVO setup for that year (I could be wrong though). It has the overlay harness used to plug the amp into the main harness.
The sidecar is not controlled by the fader on the HU as it has it's own volume control.
What I am not sure about is what speakers does the amp run, sidecar only or does it run the fairing and rear pods to? The sidecar schematics only show the sidecar. Then when i use the bike schematics its not making sense to me.
What I would like to do is run my JL amps for my fairing and rear pods and let the boom amp run the sidecar, can this be done if the boom amp is running only the sidecar. I assume the boom amp is running sidcar only because I don't think the factory would run 6 speakers off 1 amp.
I want to run the four speakers on the bike with amps like any other bike. My problem is the damn sidecar. I have to use the stock radio because the sidecar controls, this is my problem.
When I go to the Harley microfische site it shows the wiring diagrams for the bike and sidecar on different pages and I can't copy and paste so y'all can see it. I need a different set of eyes on the wiring diagram to see what I am missing.
Is anyone looking for a winter challenge?
I will post a link to the microfische page
Maybe I can get lucky and figure this out one wire at a time
