Okay, looks like power goes to the "DC12V" and ground to "GRD" right underneath (guess I should look past my eyeballs next time).
Still confused about wiring the front speakers though. I'm curious why we have to cut into the 35 pin connector for the rear speakers but not the fronts. Also, is it the pin connector side of the wire that we connect to the amp connector or the side that goes back to the rear speakers? Gosh, this stuff confuses the hell out of me!

Okay, I think I may have it figured out...please confirm or tell me how bass ackwards I have it.
The wires that orginally went to the front speakers will be clipped and be connected to the high level input connector that goes to the amp. The bare wires on the front crossovers go to the appropriate channels on the other side of the amp. Once clipping the four rear wires from the 35 pin connector, the wires that come out of the head unit will be connected to the high level input connector that goes to the amp. The wires on the tourpack side will be connected to the appropriate channels on the other side of the amp.
Correct, I hope?

This sounds right to me from what I've read and the diagram that was posted. I'm still confused about the crossovers do you need the crossovers just for the mm 651s or or is it for any speaker you add to the amp I'm considering the Titan 2s for mine but may use the polks if you have to use the crossovers to make the speaker and tweeter work what crossovers are you using?
Deer hunt I also following this appreciate all you have asked and I also appreciate all the info in the answers to all these questions bunch of good folks here willing to help a brother out thanks guys I've learned so much in the last week I'm having to read this stuff 5 times lol.

Glad this is helping! Figured I have a question on just about everything so should help others with a complete install, lol.

Strait, what was your setup again please sir? That will dictate which speakers you should go with.

The crossovers come with the MM651 speakers. I don't think the Titan II speakers come with external crossovers but instead have capacitors soldered inline and attached to the speaker itself.

I just have the stock head unit with the boom speakers so pretty much starting from scratch.
Planning on doing it in stages as time and money permits just wanting to do the fairing and amp right now then I going to do the rears prolly Titan 2 6x9 in the Harley color matched bag lids seeing as my ride is ember red really don't wanna have to sand a set down and paint them worth the little extra cost for no headache in this just to bolt on. Then I going to change head unit after that prolly going about that part backwards. Ultra I also have a thread started about this so as not hijack deer hunt on the wiring thread here.

Disregard this.....I was looking at the wiring diagram from my phone and was hard to tell. Can see it clearer on the computer.
