Default Installing speakers

I'm installing Boom speakers on a 2011 Heritage. I'm having trouble finding where the fuse wire goes. There is a separate red wire with a plug and no fuse. The fuse is in the separate black wire with no plug. The directions don't say where it goes, unless I'm missing something, probably the case. Any help would be appreciated.

The fuse will usually go from the positive side of the battery to the pwoer wire. Never have installed a Boom system but that is where I would put it.

That would be the orange-white wire?

I mean that it shoudl go from the positive side of the battery to the power wire for the system. I used the orange and white for power on my J&M speakers so I guess the answer is yes if there is not a wire included in the system that is for power already that attaches to the orange and white wire.

After thinking about it, the fuse should go between the speakers and where the power comes from so between the orange and white wire and the speakers. Sorry for the confusion.

Your right, the white wire with orange stripes is the ignition on wire

On the 2011 softails you need to get the wire harness to install correctly.
