Default Help with audio install!!

HDForums Members I need your assistance.

Just bought a 2011 Ultra Limited, and installing a new head unit and amp, speakers kit.

Head Unit is a marine sony system.

Amp is tiny 4 channel Rockford Fosgate

Replacing front speakers with 6.5 RF and getting rid of rears with new 6x9 in rear lids.

Now heres where i need some help never done this before.

Now I have installed the head unit and amp, just hooking up amp to head unit Im having issue with.

1 Do I need to hook up the remote cable?
2 On the amp do I connect the RCA links from the head unit to the amp?
3 For the speakers do i tap into the Hd lines and just add them in.
4 For the rear speakers do i extend the wires from the head unit and link them into/from the amp then onto to the speakers.

Any help would be great

Rich

1 Do I need to hook up the remote cable?

Yes it seems most aftermarket harnesses piggy back this onto the cigarette lighter wire.

2 On the amp do I connect the RCA links from the head unit to the amp?

Yes if you want sound

3 For the speakers do i tap into the Hd lines and just add them in.

I guess you could do both

4 For the rear speakers do i extend the wires from the head unit and link them into/from the amp then onto to the speakers.

If using an Amp you only have a power, ground and rca wires that go into the amp. All speaker connections only go to the amp output terminals.
