Thank you Chris! We appreciate your feedback to make sure we're offering the best solutions in these videos. We were pleased to illustrate that the PAUX fits the cigarette lighter receptacle with ZERO modifications.
Hello, I just purchased this kit along with the 6x9 for the saddlebags. My question is, how would I run the high level to each speaker without a amp to get 50 watts per speaker? Thank you, Jason
Hi Jason, great question. The internal amplifier produces 25W at 4Ω and 50W at 2Ω. All 4 of your speakers you have are 4Ω, so if you ran the fairing speakers off the front channels and the bag-lid speakers off the rear channels, the built-in amplifier will only produce 25W each channel. If you ran a front and rear speaker (wired in parallel) off the front channels, it would drop it down to a 2Ω load to produce 50W, but that power will be divided between 2 speakers (50W /2 = 25W per speaker) This may not be enough power for your system, especially the baglid speakers. For optimum results, we would recommend the external amplifier and amp installation kit (the Stage-2 kit). The baglid kit plugs directly into the amplifier's rear outputs, so without an amp, you'll need to make a MOLEX adaptor to mate with the connector supplied on the harness.
Sorry we missed your original post. You use the rotary encoder to scroll through folders, then press the encoder to enter the folder. You can find the owner's manual here: rockfordfosgate.com/rftech/library/2019/09_motorcycle_kits/1230-70243-01-e_pmx-hd9813-man.pdf
Press and hold the MENU button, then scroll to BALANCE > FADER > AUDIO. You have access to a 7-band EQ and the Punch EQ which is essentially a Bass/Treble control (+/-18dB at 45 Hz and +12dB at 12.5kHz).
Yes, it is plug-n-play and integrated using the factory harnesses, allowing you to control the radio using the handlebar thumb control. More photos can be found here: www.rockfordfosgate.com/products/details/pmx-hd9813/
We do not recommend using this system with pre-installed BOOM! amplified systems. Due to the various wiring configurations that H-D produced during the 98-13 time-frame, we unfortunately cannot guarantee plug-n-play fitment.
Hi Jennifer, it's adequate to power speakers directly, but limited to cruising. If you're frequently on the highway or riding at 40+ MPH, then we would recommend an amplifier.
It should be compatible, just keep in mind the PMX source unit is not compatible with factory amplified systems, CB, Intercom, rear volume controls, and factory equipped satellite radio systems. You can check the compatibility of the connectors by comparing your radio with the PMX here: www.rockfordfosgate.com/products/details/pmx-hd9813/
Great question wunder8962! The Stage-1 system utilizes the built-in 50 Watt amplifier built-into the radio. The Stage-2 and Stage-3 use an external Marine Grade TM400X4ad amplifier as shown here: www.rockfordfosgate.com/products/details/hd9813sg-stage2/
The PMX-HD9813 is a digital media receiver that supports Bluetooth, AUX Input, MP3, Pandora, and support for SiriusXM. There is no CD player. You can find more about the radio here: rockfordfosgate.com/products/details/pmx-hd9813/
We wanted to keep the cost on the radio down so unfortunately no. You can review all the features of the PMX-HD9813 source unit here: rockfordfosgate.com/products/details/pmx-hd9813/
Yes, they are a bit painful. At timecode 1:59 we do specify using a "long reach 3/16" Allen wrench" and at timecode 2:04 we show a closeup of the rear bolt removal. Having a ball-head Allen always makes these easier, but we were able to reach it without one.
Thank You soooo much for making stereo equipment for our motorcycles. I always bought you stuff for the cars in the 90’s
Thanks Pauly for continuing to be a Rockford Fosgate Fanatic! We appreciate it!
Have this same setup on my 07 street glide, I put in a new battery and now the head unit will not power on, any help?
Nice Job as Always , Eric !!!!! The USB/Aux Plug is the only way to go , especially for Hardcore H-D Owners

Does the kit come with the auxiliary to replace the cigarette lighter
As mentioned in the video, the PAUX is an optional accessory. You can purchase it online here: www.rockfordfosgate.com/products/details/paux/
Hi. tell me how to set up scrolling through folders with tracks in this tape recorder? menno folders, not the tracks themselves

Is there bass and treble adjustment on the radio I don’t see it on mine

Does it work with the factory handlebar controls?
Yes, it is plug-n-play and integrated using the factory harnesses, allowing you to control the radio using the handlebar thumb control. More photos can be found here: www.rockfordfosgate.com/products/details/pmx-hd9813/
Will this work with a pre installed boom amp and speakers
We do not recommend using this system with pre-installed BOOM! amplified systems. Due to the various wiring configurations that H-D produced during the 98-13 time-frame, we unfortunately cannot guarantee plug-n-play fitment.
Would this head unit push rocksford Fosgate speakers that are 75 watts RMS/ 150 watts peak? Or would I need to install an additional amp ?
Hi Jennifer, it's adequate to power speakers directly, but limited to cruising. If you're frequently on the highway or riding at 40+ MPH, then we would recommend an amplifier.
Are you able to use the original controls on the handlebars with this system?
Hi Cory, great question. YES, the thumb control on the handlebar retains its functionality since we're utilizing the factory harness.
Would this work with my 2010 street glide CVO street glide? Plug and play ?

You should have showed how to access the 2 rear stereo mount bolts because it's a real pain in the ass!!!!
