Installation Description

First thing I wanted was more bass, and I got a great deal from a friend for two 10" Rockford Fosgate subs in a sealed box with a matching Rockford Fosgate amp. I had help installing these early on. The next step was replacing the factory head unit, which wasn't easy! Thanks to Crutchfield's great product support I was able to buy the extra accessory needed to install the Sony head unit with little difficulty. Once that was completed, I had my subs re-wired to run through the pre-amp out on the Sony head unit. Replacing the rear 6"x9" and front 6.5" factory speakers with Alpines were a breeze. I have had Sirius before in my car so the Sportster 4 install was extremely simple, because I could go direct through the Sony's front auxiliary input!

Taking my backseat out just to remove back carpeted panel to replace 6"x9" factory speakers.
