Thank you for choosing the Hogtunes REV 450U KIT-RM speaker and amplifier

kit for “Rushmore” platform Ultra Classics. 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.

The installation will be done in 3 major steps.

Step 1: Changing out the Front speakers

Step 2: Changing out the Rear speakers

Step 3: Installation of the amplifier

Please identify the two pairs of speakers now. Model 362F-RM (with larger

magnets) are for the front and 362R-RM (smaller magnets) are for the rear.

The rear speakers will fit in the front location but the front speakers will NOT

fit in the rear location. If you do not identify the speakers now, there is a

serious chance wrenches and expletives will be flying soon!

A video version of this manual is available at

www.hogtunes.com If you still need

assistance, please consider a professional

installation by your motorcycle dealer.

362F-RM FRONT SPEAKER

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS

Step #1: Remove the seat and both wires (+ and -) from the battery. Remove the

outer fairing/headlamp assembly and set aside. Refer to a service
manual if you need help with this. NOTE: Placing 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: Speaker Cabinet Removal: On the brake side speaker cabinet,

carefully remove the cable going into the power port/cigarette lighter
assembly. If your bike has the CB module (mounted “sideways” on the
clutch side cabinet) undo the antenna cable and main harness. The
CB Module will stay attached to the clutch side cabinet when removed.
Undo the speaker wire plugs going into each cabinet (pink/pink with
black stripe wires).

The speaker cabinets are vital to the fairing’s structure.

DO NOT operate the bike without the speaker cabinets installed!

NOTE: We STRONGLY suggest completing the speaker swap on one side and
then moving to other side! Figure 1.1 and 1.2 (below) have arrows that point
to the factory fasteners that will be removed to allow the cabinets to come
out of the bike. Although the Brake Side is shown below, fastener locations
are common for both brake and clutch side cabinets.

Step #3: Installing the new speaker: With the cabinet removed from bike,

undo the four screws that hold the factory speaker to the cabinet.
Carefully take off each speaker wire by disconnecting one at a time.
Take a Hogtunes speaker and re-attach the factory speaker wires noting
they will only go on one way. Make sure to use the model 362F-RM
speakers (with larger magnets) for the fronts! The #1 reason for tech
related calls is loose wires at the speaker which is why we designed the
self-locking clips on the speaker frame. Using the factory screws, attach
the Hogtunes speaker to the cabinet noting that there is a locator “peg”
on the cabinet and a hole in the speaker’s frame which needs to line up
so the speaker sits flush to the cabinet. Bass response will be greatly re­duced if the speaker is not flush to the cabinet! The factory speaker grill
must be removed and replaced with the supplied metal mesh grill using
the three factory screws on the inside of the fairing. On the factory grill,
you will see two round holes and one “keyhole” where the screws go
through and into the fairing. The keyhole on our grill needs to go in
the same spot for proper fitment of the new grill! With the new grills in
place and the speaker properly attached to the speaker cabinet, the
cabinet can be re-installed to the bike. It’s always a good idea to put the
factory fasteners back in to specified torque.

Repeat Step #3 for the second cabinet. Make sure to plug the power

cable back into the power port/cigarette lighter assembly on the brake
side. If your bike has the CB module, make sure to re-install the antenna
cable and main harness.
