Aloha,
Heading to OR Thursday to do some work on my 16 Limited and I am sure I will need some help from the experts. I have a Focal sport amp, AW6.5/BT30 for the fairing and MM652 for the TP pods. I also have the BT brackets and 2 LL with the breakout harness. I also ordered the PAC TR4 in case I need it.
My first question is regarding water-resistance of the fairing speakers. I already made cutouts in the Hogtune grills to mount the tweets. I know the AWs have aluminum cones, so do I need to do anything else to help prevent water damage?
Next, do I need to connect the amp turn on wire or will the signal come from the Boom 6.5 HU through the Breakout harness? PAC TR4?
TIA,
Dave

Connect the crossover and the woofer to the amp. Then connect the tweeters to the crossovers.
Some folks like to add speaker cloth over the grills and spray it with a water replant. I normally don't with AW's. They should be fine.

I drilled a small hole in my BT bracket & ran the tweets wire thru it to the crossover, than as Haze said - connect the crossover into the AW 6.5 and wire to the amp

JMC's reply sounds like the crossover is connected directly to the Woofer.

So for my NON-bridged setup, I could connect both the crossover and the woofer to Ch 1&2? Should they both be connected directly to the amp or could I use piggyback terminals on the woofers to continue the connection as in series to the crossovers?

The Focal Sport speaker wires are marked front & rear - left & right - using the appropriate marked speaker wires, splice left front Focal Sport amp speaker wire to your left AW 6.5 speaker and to the "in" crossover wire - then splice the "out" crossover wire to the tweeter - repeat for right speaker
