Can a factory Harley radio work with an aftermarket amplifier?
Use a plug and play device that will flatten the frequency response and lower the signal voltage. It is our experience that these type of devices can be hit and miss. They do not seem to work well with radios that are flashed for factory Harley amplifiers and they seem to work with some aftermarket amplifiers but not others.
Why does the radio distort on a Harley Davidson?
What happens is that the radio clips (distorts) at a low volume when the factory speaker has been removed from the bike. This is because the amplifier built into the factory Harley radios is designed to drive a speaker and not designed to drive the inputs of an amplifier or processor. The resistive load needs to be lowered.
How does resistive load work on Harley Davidson radio?
Resistive load. When you remove the factory speakers and instead feed the radio output to an aftermarket amplifier or sound processor, the radio has no load and the output becomes unbalanced. A special resistive load needs to go between the radio and the next device (amplifier or processor).
How big is a factory car signal processor?

Where are the rear speakers on a Harley Davidson?
Rear speaker. You can use this version to add rear speaker outputs to a bike that only came with two front speakers (must be flashed for 4 speakers). The connector for this harness is in the fairing behind the radio in a single 4 pin plug.
How does a stand alone DSP work on a Harley Davidson radio?
Use a stand alone DSP (digital sound processor). This is a digital device (EQ) that can undo the EQ that is programed into your radio and also allow you to re- EQ your sound to your taste. This is really the ultimate solution. There are several manufactures out there that make these devices.
What kind of audio amplifier does a Harley Davidson use?
Helix M FOUR 4-Channel Amplifier with Integrated Active Crossover $579.99 Harley Helix M FOUR DSP Amplifier with 10-Channel DSP $999.99 Only 1 left! Diamond Audio MICRO2V2 500-Watt RMS 2-Channel Power Amplifier for Harley $339.99 Diamond Audio MICRO4V2 600-Watt RMS 4-Channel Amplifier for Harley $379.99
How does the processor work on a Harley Davidson radio?
The correct processor kills two birds with one big stone because it not only straightens out the radios frequency response issues (EQ curve) it also converts all f the radios speaker outputs into high quality RCA type outputs that are directly compatible with all modern amplifiers.
What kind of wiring does a Harley Davidson use?
All of its wires and cables connect the battery, alternator, engine control module, and other electrical and electronic components to each other. Without a proper connection, some system may stop working altogether, which is why it is crucial to replace all damaged wires and connectors as soon as possible.
