Thank you for your purchase of Wild Boar Audio’s Amp with Front
Speaker Kit specifically made for “Rushmore” platform Street Glide®

it was designed to, so if you have any questions or concerns, please
email: [e-mail] or call us during regular business hours at
705-719-6361 (EST). If you still need help, please consider a
professional installation by your dealer.

Important:

This is a powerful system, and needs to be adjusted correctly for the
recommended dealer radio re-flash, or damage may occur. We
STRONGLY suggest reading this entire manual before proceeding!

This manual is written in 3 major sections:

Step 1: Speaker Installation

This system requires a radio re-flash by a dealer to work properly. This is
explained in Section 3 of the manual. Please DO NOT ignore this important step,
or the system will not work as well as it has been designed to.

With the correct radio flash, the system can play at high levels with virtually no
audible distortion. The amplifier has built in protection. You will know you are
at the limits of the system if one channel of the amp turns off and back on. This
typically all happens in less than a second. Channels turning on and off quickly is
letting you know to adjust the volume down slightly. The tweeters on the speakers
are also protected by a poly thermal coefficient (PTC) switch. This heat sensitive
switch will temporarily turn the tweeter off until the switch cools off, and will then
turn the tweeter back on. This will only happen at high volumes.

Many users take advantage of the convenience of ‘streaming” music to the radio
using Bluetooth® Wireless Technology. It should be noted that plugging in the
music device using the radios USB cord sounds better and plays louder than using
Bluetooth. Make sure that any equalizers on the music playback device are OFF.

There are many different styles of amplifiers. Wild Boar Audio is a Class D design
as this is the best choice for high power on vehicles with smaller charging systems.

The main advantages of Class D are:

• Very efcient design (Big power output while not being too hard on bike’s

charging system)

• Much lower amplier heat compared to other designs

• Amplier can be much smaller compared to other designs

The downside to Class D design is that it can interfere with FM reception.
Although every effort has been made to reduce any FM interference, it is possible
to have some stations not come in clearly. For this reason, if FM reception is a very
important part of your listening, we strongly advise against the use of in fairing
antennas. After considerable testing, we have concluded that nothing works as
well as the factory antenna which is why Wild Boar Audio and Hogtunes do not
offer in fairing antennas.

BEFORE GETTING STARTED

2

Step #1: Remove the bikes seat, and undo the main (+ and -) connectors 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.

Step #2: Speaker Cabinet Removal:

On the brake side speaker cabinet,

carefully remove the cable going into the
power port/cigarette lighter assembly.
If the 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).

Removing the Factory Cabinets:

It is STRONGLY recommended to com-

plete the speaker swap on one side be­fore moving to the other side! Figure 1.1
and 1.2 have arrows that point to all 8
factory fasteners (per side) that will be re­moved to allow each cabinet to come out
of the bike. Although the brake side is
shown below, all 8 fastener locations are
common for both brake and clutch side
cabinets. In Fig 1.1 you will see where
the speaker wire exits the cabinets. The 3
cabinet fasteners below the speaker wire
are 7/16” heads that will also accept
a 3/16” allen head. A “ratcheting box
end” or “ball end” allen wrench will
make removing these 3 fasteners much
easier!
