This is the pretty new system I got, I got it used on ebay and I dont think it's the stock wiring. I am AWFUL with wiring, so I'm turning to the pros (you guys/gals)
Here's a picture of the speakers and the way it shows to install. But the edited picture is what mine looks like.
I wanna make sure that both speakers get hooked up to the battery's + directly. And that I dont have to ground anything b/c they are build in the casing.
there should be a grey wire coming from the crankcase volume control.
grey goes to switched +12v
the red and black wires from each speaker plug into their respective red and black wires on the 2 RCA adapters.
the end with the RCA connectors plugs into a "y" adapter
the "y" adapter plugs into the crankcase volume controller
mounting the speakers securely to the handlebars provides ground for the system.

I'm getting a loud popping noise when I connect the power. I have the black powder coated ones and it says in the manual "For black powder-coated speakers, ground each by attaching an enclosed grounding ring to the stem and connecting the other end to the bikes ground"
EDIT - For future ppl to know with these speakers. the black powder coated ones need to be grounded from the stem. I hooked it strait to the battery and it's great now.
