PRACTICE SAFE SOUND
Continuous exposure to sound pressure levels over 100dB may cause permanent hearing loss. High powered auto sound systems may produce sound pressure levels well over 130dB. Use common sense and practice safe sound.

PRATIQUEZ UNE ÉCOUTE SANS RISQUES
Une exposition continue à des niveaux de pression acoustique upérieurs à 100 dB peut causer une perte d'acuité auditive permanente. Les systèmes audio de forte puissance pour auto peuvent produire des niveaux de pression acoustique bien au-delà de 130 dB. Faites preuve de bon sens et pratiquez une écoute sans risques

PRACTIQUE EL SONIDO SEGURO
El contacto continuo con niveles de presión de sonido superiores a 100 dB puede causar la pérdida permanente de la audición. Los sistemas de sonido de alta potencia para automóviles pueden producir niveles de presión de sonido superiores a los 130 dB. Aplique el sentido común y practique el sonido seguro.

PRAKTIZIEREN SIE SICHEREN SOUND
Fortgesetzte Geräuschdruckpegel von über 100 dB können beim Menschen zu permanentem Hörverlust führen. Leistungsstarke Autosoundsysteme können Geräuschdruckpegel erzeugen, die weit über 130 dB liegen. Bitte wenden Sie gesunden Menschenverstand an und praktizieren Sie sicheren Sound.

OSSERVATE LE REGOLE DEL SUONO SENZA PERICOLI
La costante esposizione a livelli di pressione acustica al di sopra dei 100dB possono causare la perdita permanente dell'udito. I sistemi audio ad alta potenza possono produrre livelli di pressione acustica ben superiori ai 130dB. Si consiglia il buon senso e l'osservanza delle regole del suono senza pericoli

Installation Considerations
This kit was designed exclusively for the 2014 to present Harley Davidson Street Glide and Road Glide touring bikes. This kit allows you to add an amplifier and subwoofers into your saddle bags. If you feel unsure about installing this system yourself, reach out to one of our many qualified Rockford Fosgate dealers for a qualified technician at https://rockfordfosgate.com

Before installing, disconnect the negative (-) battery terminal to prevent damage to the unit, fire or possible injury.

Before beginning any installation, follow these simple rules:

• Be sure to carefully read and understand the instructions before attempting to install this motorcycle subwoofer kit.

• Consult your motorcycle's service manual for model specific information. Models may differ from year to year depending on factory options and aftermarket accessories added.

• This motorcycle subwoofer installation kit is specifically designed to work with Rockford Fosgate's POWER M5-800X4 amplifier.

• With the addition of an amplifier, be sure that your current charging system is in proper working order.

• Utilize a blanket or fender cover to protect the front fender from tools or any other items that may be accidentally dropped while removing the fairing and gas tank.

*Dynamic Power indicates actual, usable power delivered by the amplifier to the speakers when listening to music. Dynamic Power ratings are based on CTA-2006 industry standards. Dynamic Power has been provided to indicate the actual RMS power output performance of the amplifier in the real world.

** The HD14-SBSUB kit is designed to work exclusively with Rockford Fosgate's Harley Davidson Plug and Play Stage kits that utilize the TM or M5 amplifiers mounted in the fairing. This only works with factory fit 5x7” bag lids or with the TMS69BL14 bag lid speakers. If your bag lids have the OEM power locking system, this kit will NOT fit. If your bike came with an factory amplifier in the saddle bags, this kit will NOT fit. This kit was designed for OEM non stretched bags.
