Hogtunes 362R-RM : 6.5-inch Rear Replacement, 2 Ω (2014 - model year) - Manual (Page 2)

Congratulations and Thank‐you for your purchase of the Hogtunes GEN3 6.5”
speakers for “Rushmore” platform bikes! Since positive word of mouth is the
best way to grow our business, we want your new speakers to work as well as
they were designed to. If you have any questions or concerns, we are here to
help. Email [email protected] or call us during regular business hours (EST)
at 705‐719‐6361. If you still need help, then please consider a professional
installation by your dealer.
362F‐RM Front Speaker Installation Instructions:
Step #1: Make sure your ignition switch stays in the “OFF” position. Remove
your 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 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).
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 4 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 attach the factory speaker wires noting they will only go on
one way. 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 need to line up. The factory speaker grill must be removed and
replaced with the supplied metal mesh grill using the 3 factory screws on
the inside of the fairing. In the Hogtunes grill, you will see two holes and
one “keyhole” where the screws go through and into the fairing. The
keyhole in the Hogtunes grill needs to be oriented so it is closest to the
radio on each side for proper fitment! With the new grills in place and the
speaker properly attached to the speaker cabinet, the cabinet can be
re‐installed to the bike. Its always a good idea to put the factory fasteners
back in to specified torque.
Repeat Step #3 for the second cabinet. Plug the factory speaker wires back
into the cabinet’s speaker wires and your speakers are ready to test. 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. Re‐install your fairing and
windshield and your new speakers are ready to enjoy!
362R‐RM Rear Speaker Installation Instructions:
Step #1: Make sure your ignition switch stays in the “OFF” position.
Remove the factory speaker grills by undoing the 4 screws on the front of
the grills. Carefully lift up on each speaker and take the 2 wires off by
pulling one at a time from the stock speaker. Remove the speakers.
Step #2: Hogtunes 362R‐RM rear speakers are a direct replacement for the
OE speakers. The female OE “in‐line” connectors mate with the male
connectors on each speaker and only go on one way. The number 1 reason
for tech support calls is due to loose connections at the speaker. Please
make sure you have a very good connection to avoid this. Once you are
confident the factory wires are correctly attached to the new speakers, set
them in place, install the grills that came with the kit and secure the speaker
by reinstalling the 4 screws per grill. Note: The factory rubber “nutserts” on
the rear pod side can be finicky. It’s a good idea to get all 4 grill screws
“started” and then get each one snug. Gradually tighten each one down
making sure all 4 screws holding the grill down are secure!
Step#3: Turn your radio on and confirm that both speakers are playing. Your
new speakers are ready to enjoy!

DO NOT operate the bike without the speaker cabinets installed!
