PrecisionPower HD13.LVF User manual

  • Hello! I've analyzed the installation instructions for PrecisionPower's lower vented fairing with 6.5" speakers, specifically for the HD13.LVF and HD14.LVF models. This document covers everything from disassembling the original fairing to mounting the new one, including the speaker wiring and final setup. I'm here to help you with any questions about these instructions or the installation process of lower vented fairings and speakers.
  • What tools are required to remove the crash bar cover?
    What type of screwdriver is recommended for the speaker pod screws?
    What size drill bit is recommended if the speaker pod hole is too small?

Tip: If aligning the speaker into the speaker pod is
difcult, the EQ module can be omitted; is not required
for use. Disconnect it from the speaker and speaker wire,
then connect the speaker wire from inside the pod directly
to the speaker. The speaker wire with black stripe should connect to the – terminal on the
speaker. The solid color speaker wire should connect to the + terminal on the speaker.
***The remaining steps assume you have opened the upper
fairing to install PrecisionPower’s MAA4.400 amplier, or to
access it/an existing amplier.

*If the amplier is already powering PrecisionPower’s fairing speakers and/or saddlebag lid
speakers, attach the 8-pin amplier connector for the lower fairings to the female connector
attached to the upper fairing or saddlebag lid speaker cable.
*If another amplier is used, you can cut off the 8-pin amplier connector and connect the
individual speaker wire as direct by the amplier manufacturer.
