I have mine wired directly inline on the speaker wires that go to the rear speakers from the harness in the front of the bike. Requires you to cut and splice the factory speaker wires located in the main harness.

Would it be ok to only upgrade and amp just the front speakers while leaving the rears original/unamped and use a magic box for the fronts?

what it essentially does without jacking with HD and their "works sometimes and doesn't work sometimes" flashes is equalizes out all the DSP on the stock head unit so as not to cause sound issue with your upgrade.

It can be had from Cycle Sounds.

This is ONLY for 14 and up bikes.
