This is my first time making a post like this so bare with me.

This was all in a 1999 FLHTCI.
I installed this system in my garage with the help of a buddy a few weeks ago.

I wish I had taken more pictures wile I was working on it, I might take the fairing back off and take some more pictures later.

I know this system is not great, but it's what I have, I posted this just in case anyone needed help.

My system:


1. Biketronics RetroRadio™ Radio Install Kits BT 1000 - 1998-2005 Sony Radio Install Kit - http://www.biketronics.com/products/...stall-Kit.html

2. SOUNDSTREAMŽ PN2.350D 2-CHANNEL - http://soundstream.com/store/car-aud.../pn2-350d.html - For the Biketronics 7.1's in the fairing

3. HOGTUNES SADDLE BAG LID SPEAKERS - http://www.hogtunes.com/bestlidsperiod.html - W/ HT 6X9's

4. Sony DSX-S310BTX MP3 iPod iPHONE Digital Media - http://store.sony.com/digital-media-...ivers-Speakers

5. Hogtunes 7 in. Lower Fairing Woofer Kit -

6. BIKETRONICS TITAN II 7.1" SPEAKERS - http://www.biketronics.com/bt7p1-speaker-upgrade/ - For the fairing

7. Soundstream PN4.520D 520 - http://soundstream.com/store/car-aud.../pn4-520d.html - to power the HT 6X9's & the HT Lower fairing woofers.

Accessories I used:

A. Soundstream WK-8G Complete 8 Gauge Amplifier Wiring Installation Kit - X2 - http://www.ebay.com/itm/Soundstream-...f8d728&vxp=mtr

B. SOUNDSTREAM PN4.520D BRACKETS FOR HARLEY FLH FAIRING - http://www.ebay.com/itm/SOUNDSTREAM-...item2c7d3100fa

C. Premium Y-Adapter Subwoofer Audio Cable 1 Female RCA to 2 Male RCA Splitter - http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_trks...at=0&_from=R40 - These are needed so you can split the front channel in my case, or rear channel from your first amp into your second amp.

D. RCA Male to Male Video Connector Adapter AV Cable Coupler Joiner for Car - http://www.ebay.com/itm/RCA-Male-to-...item19d52d6e52 - I used some of these so I didn't need RCA cables as there isn't much room and cutting RCA's are a pain in the rump.

E. Sirius SNYSC1 Interface for Sony - You will still need a satellite receiver with this set up, I used this kit in conjunction with a Sirius Radio SCVDOC1 SiriusConnect Vehicle Dock Kit (http://www.ebay.com/itm/111147308746?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649) and the Faceplate my Sirius Sporster 5 from my truck. Running the cable from the Sirius SNYSC1 Interface into my right saddlebag, as seen in the pictures below.

F. Fairfield Poly-Fil Premium Polyester Fiber, White, 1 Bag, 16-Ounce -

G. Hogtunes 2-Channel Amp Mounting Kit -
Remember, remote from HU goes to remote (REM) in on first amp, then run a wire from the remote (REM) out on the first amp to the remote (REM) in on the second amp.

Installed both the PN2.350D and the PN4.520D amps in the batwing fairing, they fit but it took a lot of imagination and beer. The BIKETRONICS TITAN II 7.1's magnet takes up a lot of room where the HT 2nd amp bracket goes.
Getting this 2nd amp in place is by far the hardest part of the entire install.

Pics of bracket for the PN2.350D in the links below.

And with the amp in place. Test and make sure that your fairing will go back on before you bolt anything in place, I had to move the PN2.350D 3 times before I found a sweet spot where the fairing would go back on.

The PN4.520D installed.

Both amps in place, and the Sirius SNYSC1 Interface for Sony installed.

I used the spare black and orange leads on the headlight wire harness to hard-wire the Sirius SNYSC1 Interface in for power.

The wire lengths in the amp install kits and the Sirius SNYSC1 Interface are way too long. The amp kits can just be cut for the length you need, even the twisted RCA's can. Just remember the RCA's have 2 wires inside, a ground and a positive.

I don't think the Sirius SNYSC1 Interface bus cable can be spliced so just stuff the extra wire under the head unit and zap strap everything before you try to fit your outter fairing back on.

HT Lids:

When drilling the hole to install the rubber grommet make sure you tape the out of your saddle bag and start drilling from the outside of the bag, otherwise the paint will flake off.

Spitting on the rubber grommet will help them go in easier

This kit comes with a quick detach wire harness, and the instructions are great. The only wires you'll need to cut are the 4 prong amp connection on the end of the wiring harness if your not using a HT amp.
Snip the connector off and run the wires directly to respected amp speaker outs.

Note: for some reason all the HT kits I've seen, The black wire will be your positive and the colour wire will be your negative.

For example: Blue/black will be your left channel and Brown/black will be the right channel, hooking the blacks wires to the positive terminal.

The same goes with the Lower fairing kit.

Lower Fairing:

Really straight forward install, nothing tricky here.
Same as the HT lids, cut off the HT amp connector (unless using a HT amp) and connect the wires directly to the respected channels on the amp.
Same as above, blue/black for left and brown/black for right.

The black wire was positive again on this kit.

And the fairing all buttoned up:

Soldered, crimped and heat shrink all cuts/connections just to be safe.

Ran all grounds to the negative battery terminal to avoid interference or issues. Just have a buddy hold the gas tank up as you run the wires under it.
Straighten out a wire coat hanger and tape your wire ends on it and fish it under the tank if you need to.

Set all gains using the distortion method UltraNutz posted in the sticky and it worked well. It sounds great.

I had no idea what I was doing when I started this project, I've never installed an audio system before but it all went together easy. It's just common sense really. Have lots of beer and good music on hand

I'll try to get more pics up, any questions just ask.
Comments/suggestions?

Thank you to everyone in the Audio forums for the help.

 

Helluva nice write up there bud!

 

Your pics from the Dropbox account isn't working. Dang, I really want to see them.

 

They work for me, maybe its a security setting on your PC?

 

Works OK for me too

 

I just went over all my links, they should work for everyone now.

 

Thanks for the pictures especially of the 4.520 on top of the Sony. I'm using the same head unit and SS 4.520 amp. Pictures are worth a thousand words!

Nice write up and thanks!

 

No problem!
If anyone needs/wants more pics of anything just let me know and ill upload them to my dropbox.

 

Nice install. Interesting choice of the Hogtunes lower woofer kit. Since they are usually used with the 40.4 or 70.2 amp, I would be careful with the gains. The Soundstream will easily overpower them.

 

very nice and detailed write up ball654!

Glad it turned out well for you sir...
