Help Please ASAP Installing J&M Amp (stumped)
Currently installing new J&M 4 channel amp and speakers. All speakers using stock wiring for 2013 RGU. Amp installed per instructions but I am stumped on which wiring harness goes where. It looks like they sent harnesses for rear which I'm assuming I don't need. I can't see how to connect the amp to the stock HK, etc. can someone provide me with help here. All I received from J&M is a wiring diagram. Thank you.

you should have a harness that plugs into your existing front speaker wires and then has RCA plugs on the other end of it. that's your front channel inputs for the amp
if you have the larger 35 pin connector on the back of the radio with a stock plug in it, you'll need to remove the 4 speaker wire outputs from it, connect the J&M 4 wires into it, plug it back in.
if you don't have the larger 35pin plug on the back of the radio, then you simply plug that large connector with RCA jacks on the other end into the 35 pin connector on the back of the radio. this is your rear inputs to the amp
Everything should be color matching as for the wires to connect to stock front speakers and rear speaker wires. In your case you'll need to run the rear harness provided by J&M.

I was simply pointing out that with the different configurations possible some require the use of the 35 pin connector J&M provides, some you have to remove the pins from that connector and insert into an existing connector on the bike. Some configurations you simply tap to the existing rear speaker wires, some you run the new rear wiring harness.
I guess I shouldn't have stated the P&P comment the way I did (edited above post) it was more a comment directed to folks to read the directions in full prior to doing something like this so they fully understand what needs to be done.
