Help with boom amp removal
Hello all, new to the forum.
I have searched for my issue but haven't found anything. I'm sure my answer is here or someone can point me in the right direction.
I have a 16 RG with boom audio. I have installed 6x9's in the lids. I have installed new 5.5's in the faring. I have everything in the faring removed to include the head unit and boom amp. I have two BT line levelers ready to install. My question is the plug going to the boom amp. Do I cut the plug and connect the wires as if there was no amp involved? I will be installing a CV B54 amp. I understand that the wiring harness is different than a unit without boom. Thanks for any help you can give.

Here is my thought on that. It's a single plug going into the boom amp. Im sure it's input from the hu and would assume that it output from the amp to the speakers. It would seem to me that if it is unplugged there would be a break in the signal from the hu. Your thoughts?

You will have 2 plugs for your front speakers coming out of the headunit. These will connect to the BT line leveler. Then RCAs from the line leveler to the amp. Then run speaker wire from the amp to the speakers.

Spoke with tech support at BT. No help on a harness. I'll do one of two things I think. Buy a stock (non boom) harness or trace the speaker feeds from the plugs going into the pods. The tech said to see if the speakers worked after unplugging the boom amp. In my mind they wont work but I'll give it a shot. If they do my problem is solved but I'd bet against it.

Update
After getting everything torn down and looking at the wiring harness, the original plugs from the stock radio harness remain. As I suspected, removing the boom amp plug provided no signal to the speakers but plugging into the stock plugs does. Now all one has to do is plug the line levelers in to feed the new amp. I had thought i would have to cut and splice the speaker feeds at the boom amp plug but did not. If you have a boom amp all you need to do is find the stock speaker feed plugs and go from there.
