Help with installing speakers on R3T

[Joe Arnson]

I bought a Lanzar OPTIMC90 Opti Drive 700 Watt Speaker system for my 2011 Rocket III Touring. I have bolted on the speakers and they look great but I am scratching my head looking for power. I am not the most electrical savvy person but have hooked up a few mobile electronics in the past. I see on the R3T circuit diagram there are 3 accesory ports, one marked accesory, one GPS, and one (heated) grips. I plan on using all of these and figure the accesory port was the one for my speakers.

Does anybody have any idea where all of these ports are? I would assume they all shut off with the iginition as well. I was thinking about mounting the amplifier in the saddle bags but it's looking like less of an option after seeing the amount of cord included with the kit unless I buy an extension cable. Any input is appreciated, thanks in advance fellas!

The connectors for the heated grips and GPS are under the gas tank. The connector for the auxilary power port is on the left side behind the infill panel behind engine. It is marked with blue tape. It is always hot, I will have to check but I think the GPS connector is also unswitched. These are just plugs designed for the Triumph accesory to plug into, you would have to find the right plug or just cut off existing end and install your own.

I saw the one connector under the tank earlier. Knowing that it's always hot I guess I have to put an on/off switch inline now. No sense taking any chances.

Thanks for your prompt response. You guys are excellent.

That's a good idea. Do you know anywhere that sells the connector for the accessory ports? I was thinking for using that as my power and still installing a relay off the lights.
