Thank you for choosing the Hogtunes Model 5x7REV/RG front speaker and

amp kit for Road Glides. Since positive word of mouth is the best way to

grow our business, we want your new system to work as well as it was

designed to. If you have any questions or concerns, we are here to help.

Adjusting Your System--Please Read!

In order to make your new system perform as good as it was designed,

please take a minute to understand and follow these tips:

1) Set your “Automatic Volume Control” (AVC) to 3 bars. After extensive

on road testing, we found that this AVC position works and sounds best.

Your new ampliﬁ er has been speciﬁ cally set-up for this radio setting.

2) Your Hogtunes system is designed speciﬁ cally for a motorcycle at speed.

Exhaust noise and wind noise have been taken into careful consideration

in how your system performs. How your new system sounds in a driveway

or garage is radically different from how it will sound at highway speeds.

Although your system was set-up with a factory radio with its bass and

treble controls in the middle position, if you feel the need to make

adjustments, please do so (carefully) at your normal cruising speed.

3) If you have an aftermarket car radio on your bike, everything will work

ﬁ ne, but please remember that car radios are designed to work in an

environment with little or no exhaust or wind noise. Many car radios have

“features” such as equalizers, loudness contours, surround effects, etc., all

designed for a quiet environment, and all of which will hurt your ability to

hear your motorcycle system at speed if left on. Please take a minute and

turn as much of these “features” off. With a car radio in your bike, the

only adjustments you should be able to access for best performance are

volume, bass, treble, balance, and fader.

4) If you’re using an external device to supply music through the radios

aux port, we have an article on our website that can help make your

peripheral audio device sound as good as it can. The article is at:

5X7REV/RG

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

Step #1: Remove the main power and ground wire from the battery. Remove your

outer fairing/headlamp assembly, and set it aside. Refer to a service

manual if you need help with either of these.

Note: A towel on the front

fender can help prevent scratches or “dings” from dropped tools or

fasteners etc.

Expletives will also be kept to a minimum!

Step #2: • On the brake side inside of the of the inner fairing, you will see a wire

“strap” that secures a 3 wire harness (black, blue, and brown) to the

bike. Take the wire out of this strap and let it hang.

• The “A” arrow in ﬁ gure 1.1 below is where a larger factory “Molex”

plug is secured to the bike (if present). Pull down on this Molex to

unclip it from the frame, and let it hang for now.

Note: Newer model bikes have this Molex located elsewhere.

• Using a small ﬂ at head screwdriver, locate and adjust the 3 position

switch on the end of the ampliﬁ er to the “+3” position.

• The “B” and “C” arrows in ﬁ gure 1.1 show the nuts that need to be

removed on the brake side of the bike so the steel plate the amp is

installed to can attach on the 2 main studs.

• Once the plate is on, re-install these nuts to factory torque

speciﬁ cations.

• The Molex that was removed from the frame (arrow “A”) can be

re-secured to other wire harnesses using supplied zip ties (if Molex

is present).

Step #3: Unplug the factory wires at each speaker. Remove the 3 torx head screws

and “speed nut” that hold the stock grill/speaker in place and remove

from the bike. Put the factory grills/speakers, and factory torx head

screws aside. Separate the 5x7 from their grills. Locate the “baggie” in

your kit with 6 smaller Phillips head screws.

Using these supplied Phillips

head screws (only)

and the stock “speed nut”, install each 5x7 grill to the

bike.

HOGTUNES accepts no responsibility for inner fairing

damage if factory torx head screws are used!

Install the new

speakers to the grills noting that the speakers must be oriented so the wire

connectors are closest to the radio.

WIRING THE AMPLIFIER

Step #1: Plug the 2 connectors of the main wire harness into “Power” and “Audio

Input” on the ampliﬁ er. Tighten (snug) the 2 small ﬂ athead screws on the

power connector to prevent it from backing out while riding.

Step #2: On the input harness, locate the yellow/black pair of wires with the male

connectors and plug them into the factory speaker wires on the clutch

side of the bike. Also on the input harness, locate the green/black pair

of wires with the male connectors and plug them into the factory speaker

wires on the brake side of the bike. The connectors are sized correctly,

and will only go in one way. Note: The blue 4 pin plug with black wires

on the input harness is an “expansion port” which used to send music to

a second amp, or is used to send radio power to run other speakers on

the bike. You can see how the expansion port can be used further on in

this manual.

Step #3: On the opposite side of the amp are 3” (75mm) wires ending with a 4

pin black connector. This plug sends ampliﬁ ed power to your speakers.

Locate the 4 pin black plug wire harness with brown/black and blue/

black wires, and plug it into the ampliﬁ ed output plug. The blue/black

wires will plug directly to the speaker on the brake side of the bike. The

brown/black wires will plug directly to the speaker on the clutch side of

the bike.

Step #4: The orange wire is the “remote turn on lead” and tells the amp to turn on

whenever it sees +12v (.5 amp min.). Unplug the factory center wire (+)

on the cigarette lighter. Plug the orange lead from the ampliﬁ er directly

onto the lighter using the female connector. Plug the factory lighter wire

to the male “take off” connector which is part of the amps orange turn

on lead. Important: If you do not attach the orange wire from the amp to

the center wire at the cigarette lighter, the ampliﬁ er will not turn on. If the

factory fuse for your cigarette lighter is blown, and your cigarette lighter

does not work, your ampliﬁ er will not turn on.

Step #5: • On the brake side of the bike, in front of the gas tank, on the side

of the frames backbone, you will see a rectangular opening where

a large wire harness, (and throttle/idle cables on 98-07 bikes) pass

through from the fairing side of the bike. The red and black wires for

the amp will pass from the fairing side through the large opening under

the radio, and through the rectangular opening.

•

Take the rubber cover off the inline fuse holder, and remove the fuse,

the fuse holder will pass through the rectangular opening much easier.

Once through the opening, be sure to replace the fuse!

• “Fishing” a small piece of wire through this opening ﬁ rst, taping the

red and black wires to the ﬁ sh, and then using the ﬁ sh to feed the wires

through may reduce install time! The harness is designed to be routed

between the frame backbone and gas tank on the brake side of the

bike ,and come out just behind the gas tank.

•

You MAY

need to undo the back bolt of the gas tank and pivot the tank

up to allow the harness to pass through at the back of the gas tank. Be

sure to re-install this bolt and torque to factory specs!

•

For 07+ bikes

, Loosen the tank console and run wires up and over the

gas tank, but under the tank console. There is a provision on the front of

the tank console for wires to pass.

• Secure the ampliﬁ ers harness to the bikes factory harness’ using

zip ties.

Step #6: Attach the red wire to the positive (+) battery terminal, and the black

wire to the negative (-) battery terminal. The factory battery wires are

also re-installed at this point. Secure the 5x7Amp/RG harness to the

bikes factory harness’ along the frame and behind the tank using sup-

plied zip ties.

Step#7: Turn the bikes ignition to the “ACC” position, and turn the radio on at low

volume making sure the system is working. Using supplied zip ties, “clean

up” the wiring inside the fairing. You will see a large wire harness right

under the back of the radio that sits just behind the “hooks” the outer fair-

ing clips onto. You should zip tie any Hogtunes wire to this main harness

so that no wires are in the way of these hooks. Otherwise the outer fairing

will not go on. Following this important step will also help keep expletives

to a minimum!

Step#8: Go to the inside cover of this manual and follow the steps to set up your

system so it will sound as good on a bike at speed as it was designed to

SYSTEM UPGRADE #1

This system is an easy way to add rear speakers to your bike if you’ve added a

King Tour-Pak®. Hogtunes rear speaker pods come with a wire harness set up for

quick detach tour paks that will plug right into the expansion port on the amp.

Important: Since the RADIO power will be used to power the rear

speakers, you must use rear speakers speciﬁ c to your year of bike!!

Use expansion port to send

radios built in power to a

second set of speakers

(rears on Non-Ultra Models)

Optional HF-2RG

Tweeter Pod

SYSTEM UPGRADE #2

This system has the incredible power of 2 NCA 70.2 to your bike! The ﬁ rst amp

will run the 5x7” fairing speakers, and HF2-RG Tweeter Pod (if present). The

second ampliﬁ er is used to power a set of rear speakers, or speakers in your Ultra

Classic style fairing lower glove boxes.

NOTE:

If you have added Ultra Classic Style Vented (2005+) Fairing Lowers to

your bike, the simplest thing to do is purchase a Hogtunes FL7-Rev kit. This kit

comes with a NCA 70.2 amp, and 7” woofers.

For Road Glide models, the

purchase of Hogtunes RG 40.4 adaptor kit is required!!

The metal plate in that

kit is used to bolt the second ampliﬁ er into your fairing

Optional HF-2RG

Tweeter Pod

Use supplied blue plug send

signal from expansion port of ﬁ rst

amp to input of second amp

SYSTEM UPGRADE #3

This system uses a Hogtunes NCA-40.4 160 watt 4 channel amp and a NCA

70.2 for the ultimate in power! As shown below, the typical system would have 2

channels of the 40.4 power the 5x7’s while the other 2 channels power the rear

speakers. The bypass out of 40.4 is used to send music to the NCA 70.2 which

powers the fairing lower speakers. The beauty of this system is that all plugs that

go the speakers are the same. If you decide you would like more ampliﬁ er power

to your rear speakers, by simply moving a couple of plugs around, you can apply

the higher power amp to which ever speakers you like to custom “tune” the system

for your requirements.

Use supplied blue plug send

signal from expansion port of ﬁ rst

amp to input of second amp

Optional HF-2RG

Tweeter Pod
