Default HELP......lower speakers wiring.

Need your help guys. 2007 street glide. Im installing an amp(sound stream st41200w) and 4 speakers, 2 in the fairing and 2 in lower fairing. I’m not sure how to wire up the lowers. Do I double them up on the front speakers input/output on the amp or run them through the rear input/output? If running through the rear, I have no idea on how to do so. Also I’m running the Aquatic HU. Thanks.

It is a 4 channel amp run each speaker on its own channel.

Thank you for responding. Yes it is 4 channels. Sorry this is my first time trying to install the lower fairing speakers and may sound stupid but should there be a pair of input wires for the lowers like the ones I pulled from the fairing speakers? Or do lowers run from only the amp and the speaker wire that I install? Sorry again brother but I’m CONFUSED.

Yes the lowers run from the speaker wire you install. Some people go thru the bar. Have seen it run under the bar. Not much of a run after the lower maybe 6 to 8 inchs into faring thats exposed.. RCA cables run from HU to AMP speaker wire from AMP to each speaker (all 4). Including the faring speakers. You will not be using the stock wires for the faring speakers. At least that is how I would do it. The HU you have I set one up for a friend. The was something I had to wire for the rear speakers. That part is fuzzy was year and a half ago. Someone else show be able to chime in. It's a popular head unit.

Out of the aquatic there are 4 rca outputs and 4 rca inputs to the amp. Just be sure you get those right. 2 for the front and 2 for the rears. Then you will have 4 channel out put from the amp that you will wire to your speakers. Easy peasy.

so I didn’t need to cut the ends off of the stock speaker wires in the fairing?
