Default Amp Wiring Question

Hello, a buddy of mine bought a DS18 Candy Micro2 for his 16 Street Glide. The seller told him it was plug and play. The only wiring the amp came with is a connector, one end plugs into the amp and the other end is loose wires.

I really do not want to cut any factory wires if I can get around it.

Go to Biketronics - get a BT355 line leveler with the speaker connector to make plug & play, then wire the power to the amp from the battery using the correct wire gauge & fuse

Would be able to help more if we knew what else he is running with it.

At the risk of being that guy, I hope it's some cheap entry level 2 ohm speakers he's using. That thing doesn't have enough intestinal fortitude to push squat.

Haha, they are some (cheaper) speakers he got with the kit.

Thanks, JMC22

Just contacted Biketronics. Hopefully their adaptor will work. I just can't bring myself to cut the factory wiring up.

I just finished my first stereo install and I don’t cut a single factory wire. Only wire I actually touched was using a T-tap on the cigarette lighter wire for my remote wire. BT355 Line leveler and RCA cables.
