Default new amp

Well i just got my rf pbr 300x2 amp and my polk audio mm651 speakers. I am reading the book on how to connect my amp up. Is this pretty well the way this goes to hook up or do you guys have any suggestions on what i should watch out for. I am hooking this up to the HARMON KARMON head unit on my 2012 street glide and am just using speakers for the batwing fairing only. I have the rings and wiring also. Any help would be greatfull.

Take your time, its not a hard project and make sure you use the polyfill to wrap the speakers.

I'm doing the same except the bike is a year newer which won't make a difference.

Default Amp instructions

I would really like to thank ultranutz for his step by step instructions on wiring my rf amp and polk audio speakers. Instructions were dead on and right to the tee! I am very happy with the results and thank you for the help. Ultranutz is the man for audio. Worked on it today followed instructions and nothing blown everything works great. I am going to play with the gains a little bit tomorrow but otherwise sweet!

+1 here on how generous Ultranutz has been with his help. I used a step by step he made and it was a huge help and made a nice check list as I worked to install an SS amp and four mm651 speakers.

I'm looking at the same system. Could you post the step by step in a link, please. I want to say thank you to all the guys on this forum for taking their time to share their knowledge! I was looking at the soundstream 4 channel 520 amp, but the rf pbr 300x2 may better fit my current needs. If things go good in las Vegas next week, may look at new head unit too
