Could you have used a signal converter to feed the Kenwood from the stock amp to make use of the auto volume control from the speed sensor feature?

You could maybe feed the audio out from the stock amp to the audio inputs of the Kenwood, but it wouldn't effect of the volume of the bluetooth device. It would only effect whatever is coming from the stock amp.

@Wayne Cogswell just came across this on Facebook. I have been thinking this should be a thing like cars have them! Keys in your pocket and walk up and start it up and away you go! One of the best accessories to have! Thanks for the vid! Helps make the install that much easier! Got to find a “Guard Dawg” now!

It's just a basic RCA to 3.5mm adapter. I'd buy it off Amazon personally. Gonna be way less expensive them Best Buy or Micro Center.

Trunk: XFMT King Tour Pack Luggage Pack... www.amazon.com/dp/B07Q2D1GL9?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share Head unit: IYING Wireless CarPlay Wireless... www.amazon.com/dp/B0BQ71FFM3?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share I will say, the trunk is a cheap knockoff and has a lot of issues and is over priced for the quality. The head unit also has some drawbacks too, but for the price isn't too bad.

Is the new amp too much draw for the power output on the bike? I have searched and it typically says the 1300 has about 80-100 watts to spare on power consumption

I never had issue with too much draw. Although, it did stop working this summer and I haven't had a chance to determine why.

If the bike never stalled, or the battery is still in good condition, then all is well, chances are the amp was just running too hot in such a small space and over time It just quit. But thank you because I just purchased the Pyle Marine, 400 W, which has the same specs as the Kenwood, and know now that it will suffice for power consumption.

I added this Kenwood Bluetooth amp about 6 weeks ago with Polk Db 522 speakers as I bridged the amp and the Polk speaks are one of the few 5.25 rated for 100 watts rms. Really sounds quite good. I think this winter I will replace the Garmin which is next to useless for me add a head unit that I should be able adapt to the Garmin space with something like the Infinity PRV 250 or 350. But there are quiet a few options these days for similar size head units. This way I could listen to FM should I want, also bluetooth, or even USB flash drives. Thanks to Wayne for turning me onto this the Kenwood .

Very well made video brother. Thank you. Something that I am wondering is why you preferred to wire straight to the batery rather than power from an ignition wire. Or am I understanding this wrong? Thank you again
@WC1300
@WC1300 3 жыл бұрын
@@rockabolica the yellow wire that goes straight to the battery is a constant power wire. It draws a small amount of power while the bike is off (very small amount) to maintain the memory of the amp (bluetooth pairing, volume setting, etc) if you hooked it to a power source thst is not always on, you'd have to pair your phone every time.

Finally found someone who upgraded, good on you Wayne. Bought my 15 v star 1300 deluxe in May. Now sound is not too bad but I run android with my Sony digital audio player loaded with high quality CD recordings. My Cool Stream Car Pro with the outdated 30 pin cord skips way to much and is inconsistent with automatic volume up and down although it does play the music louder than my Cool Stream Duo did, but the duo did not skip. Duo works great in my Victory Cross Country which also has an N-touch amp, and I installed a RF 300 x 4 amp really pushes loud and clear music. Since May I have been disappointed trying to find anyone who had upgraded to a better audio source for the V star. Then I just found yours Wayne and now know it can be done. I have looked at the Kenwood you used as an upgrade, which looks to be an easy and good solution. But I have no usefor the Garmin Zumo, hell I can not even read it while riding. I have thought about taking out the Zumo and replacing it with a head unit that will fit in that space that has bluetooth, radio, aux, and possibly usb for flash drive. There are several choices. And then a small, at least 60 watts rms, cool running digital amp. After seeing your video this should not be to difficult. I already have the Polk 5.25, but I wonder if 6.5 would fit as people on the Stratoliner Deluxe are using these also. Do you have any thoughts on this.

I know of a couple people who have upgraded to 6.5s. I think you need to use a spacer, drill some new screw holes and probably remove the speaker buckets.

@@WC1300 Thanks for the reply. I have a pretty good idea those speaker buckets are what gives this motorcycle clean sound out of the box, just a little underpowered. If I had to remove them I would probably be better off with the 5.25. Again thanks.
