3. Choosing an Audio Device

other device with a standard headphone jack (3.5mm output).

PLEASE NOTE: Most audio devices are NOT waterproof

4. Mounting Options

Possible speaker mounting locations include: Possible amplier mounting locations include:

• Handlebars • Spotlight Mounting Bar • Under The Seat • Fork Bag

• Engine Guard/Highway Bars • Forks • Side Tool Compartment • Windshield Bag

• Luggage Rack • Risers • Saddlebag • Front Down Tubes

It’s worth taking some time to consider the best location for your UNiQ Cycle Sounds amplied speaker system. While many options are possible, choose

one that will look best from both the front and back, give you optimal sound and not interfere with vehicle operation or safety. An ideal location is behind a

windshield* on your handlebars using the provided three-piece mounting brackets. Mounting here brings the speakers closer to the rider for optimal sound

and appearance. (*Windshield is not required, but will offer a louder sound due to the blocked wind).

5. Installation Instructions

Important: Review important installation notes located at the end of this section prior to continuing with installation.

Mount the Speaker Clamps

Mount the clamps to your handlebars, highway bars or other location and ensure the 4 allen screws on each clamp are securely tightened. The clamps

themselves will tighten when the speakers are installed.

Mount the Speakers

Feed the wire through the clamp and mount each speaker to the clamp (Flat washer and lock washer go on the bottom). Make sure they are tightly and

safely secured, but do not over tighten. Run the speaker wires down to where you are going to mount the amplier, being careful to avoid the engine or any

area that could cause heat or other damage to the wire/vehicle or inhibit your driving ability.

Amplier Power Plug Hook Up

Find a place where you want to mount the amplier away from direct exposure to the elements such as a tool compartment, under the seat, fork bag,

saddlebag, etc. Most places will be ne, but try to avoid areas that could cause extreme overheating (such as places wrapped in foam or cotton).

Take the black (-) ground wire and run it to the negative (-) battery terminal. Take the red (+) positive wire and connect it to positive (+) battery terminal

(We suggest installing a 5 amp inline fuse along this wire, however it is not required). Take the orange remote wire and connect it to a switched 12v power

source (such as the headlight or taillight wire) OR through a toggle switch then to the battery positive (+).

**The orange wire MUST be connected. This is what tells the system to turn on and off. If the orange, black and red wires are not connected, the system will NOT work.

Amplier to Speaker Hook Up

Connect the black wire with white stripe (-) from the left speaker to the green wire from the amp.

Connect the black wire without the white stripe (+) from the left speaker to the brown wire from amp.

Connect the black wire with white Stripe (-) from the right speaker to the dark blue wire from the amp.

Connect the black wire without the white stripe (+) from the right speaker to the orange wire from amp.

Amplier Low Input (For connecting your audio device)

If you wish to also use your own audio device, then nd the black cable with the 3.5mm earphone jack on one end and the red & white (RCA) plug on the

other end. Plug the red and the white ends into the corresponding Low input of the Amplier. Run the other end of the wire up to your audio device (iPod,

MP3 player, satellite, walkman, etc) and plug it into the headphone jack of this device OR plug it directly in to the optional Bluetooth Module and follow its

instructions. (Bluetooth may lower volume output).

In-line Noise Suppressor (Available Upon Request)

Filter is only needed if you hear feedback or humming through your speakers. If this happens, install the noise lter between the amplier and the battery

by connecting the blue wire to the positive (+) battery terminal and the red wire to the red (+) positive wire from the amplier. Do not connect the black wire.

Most applications will not require the installation of this noise suppressor.

If you have poor or no sound or receive feedback (even with the noise suppressor), please re-check all wires, including positive and negative connections

and conrm that your system is connected to a good ground. Conrm that no wires are stripped and touching metal. If available, also test the system using

a different audio device or the built in USB or FM.

Load your USB drive w/ MP3 ONLY songs from your computer. If you need assistance with this step, please call and we can help!

6. Important Installation Notes

When rst listening to your system, you will need to adjust the levels and/or EQ on your audio device for optimal sound output. You will also need to adjust

the amplier gain level. We recommend starting at the lowest settings and slowly turning it up until you reach optimal sound quality. The amp crossover

switch should always be at H (more volume, less bass) or Off (more bass, less volume) setting.

*Make sure the speakers, amplier, lters and any wires or other components will not interfere with your steering, gauges, line of sight, or anything else

that could affect or inhibit your driving ability or vehicle operation.

Make sure that all wires are away from hot areas, and that everything is secured to your vehicle. Make sure your driving ability or vehicle operation will

in no way be inhibited by the installation. We are not responsible for systems installed or used incorrectly.

SATELLITE RADIO USERS

If after installation you receive a whining sound in your motorcycle speakers, call or email us to request a free ground loop isolator.

ROAD KING RIDERS

Install to extra accessory switch using these instructions: http://www.uniqcyclesounds.com/roadking

BLUETOOTH HANDLEBAR CONTROLLER

Attach the Bluetooth controller to the handlebars using the included attachment. This will mount easily to any 1-1/4” bar. For a 1” bar, we suggest

adding some of the included 3M tape to keep it from moving on the bar. Also be sure the device is snug and secure in the holder. Device is not

waterproof and should be move to a dry place if it starts to get wet. See separate controller instructions on how to pair and use the controller.

H-D® (to 2011) T-TAP INSTALLATION (SOLD SEPERATELY)

Under the seat of your Harley-Davidson you will nd a place to unplug the harness and connect the T-Tap (inline). Next, connect the orange wire from

the amplier to the orange wire on the T-Tap, connect the black wire to the Black wire on the T-Tap and connect the red wire to the battery positive (+).

This will allow the system to turn on/off with the ignition/accessory. (Sportsters are not compatible with these T-Taps)
