Step #3:   

Installing the New Speaker:

 With the cabinet removed from the 

bike, undo the four 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. You will see a small locator “peg” on the 
speaker cabinet. There is a provision on the underside of the 462F-RM 
that allows the speaker to sit over this, so there is no reason to cut the 
peg off. Using the factory screws, attach the new speaker to the  
cabinet. Please make sure the speaker is flush to the cabinet when 
installed. Bass response will be greatly reduced if the speaker is not 
flush to the cabinet! The new speaker can be used behind the factory 
cloth covered grill, but the speaker will play louder with the supplied 
metal mesh grills installed. If you use the metal mesh grills, remove the 
3 screws that secure the factory grill to the inner fairing. Looking at the 
metal mesh grill, you will see that one of its mounting tabs has a  
“keyhole” in it.  The metal mesh grill will install into the inner fairing  
using the screws that held the factory grill in, but the mounting tab with 
the keyhole MUST be oriented so it is closest to the radio. With the grills 
in place, and the speaker properly attached to the speaker cabinet, the 
cabinet can be re-installed to the bike. It’s always a good idea to put the 
factory fasteners back in to specified torque.
