    • Another negative is the unit does not feature a remote power wire, so if you wire the power direct to the battery it will always be on, draining your battery
    • I hope the Bluetooth doesn't drain my battery
    • will drain your battery.
    • that drain my battery and that I can't return
    • Another bad review was that it drains your battery if you leave it on while the bike isnt running
    • Until I get it switched, I have to remove the fuse to keep it from killing my battery.
    • I recommend to install a toggleswitch so it doesnt drain the battery
    • The audio system drained my battery the 1st night
    • so it didn't kill my battery
    • It would have gotten 5 stars, but I had to add a on and off switch, it was killing battery.
    • I was really excited about the system when it was working before it drained my battery forever
    • Doesn't drain the battery
    • This will drain the battery quickly when the bike is off
    • wish some of the cords were longer thereby allowing for a bit more flexibility is where I would like to mount it, but I was able to make it work, but for the stupid instructions destroying my battery (which cost $108 to replace).
    • They SAY it includes everything you need to install, but that's assuming you connect it directly to your battery, which would kill your battery
    • Also need to add a kill switch so it doesnt kill your battery
    • It was fairly simple to install minus having to find a power source that wouldn't drain the battery.
    • and it completely drained my battery dead
    • Did not wire to battery--will drain battery--you want the speakers to turn off when you turn off your bike
    • so it wouldn't drain the battery when not in use.
    • so it doesn't drain my battery
    • So make sure at night you plug your bike in because this will drain your battery!
    • Install took about an hour and I installed an on and off switch because these will kill your battery if they're left on
    • Drains the battery.
    • Constant battery killer
    • Who makes a stereo without an on and off switch, killed my battery, says 1000 watts but the louder sound is muddled
    • Washers were broken, small but noticeable dent in one speaker, you need to buy a separate switch so it doesn't drain your battery because it is constantly on, look very cheap would not recommend them to anyone
    • Tried to tap into light power but had to use battery so have to install toggle to not drain battery(probably also voiding warranty
    • and it completely drained my battery dead
    • The unit, even with a toggle switch to the battery still didn’t stop it from draining my battery
    • The Company needs to incorporate a built in toggle switch so you don't drain your battery if you decide not to patch into ignition switch
    • I found a wire that is hot with the key (there is no on/off switch on the amp so make sure you don't get your power from an always-hot source or it will drain your battery), grounded it to the headlamp bucket, and mounted the amp to the triple trees right behind the windshield (the integrated wiring harness limits somewhat the distance you can mount the amp from the speakers; behind the windshield it is somewhat protected from the elements)
    • I recommend getting an SAE adapter and splicing it to the power to provide a quick disconnect so you do not drain your battery
    • For relay wiring, post 86 is for ground, I combined the amp ground and battery ground on the same female quick disconnect, post 85 is for 12V signal wire which can come from any circuit that is energized by the ignition switch, post 30 is direct to battery positive, post 87 (NOT 87a
    • I call the tec department and asked them how do I turn them off because they killed my battery and the man to
    • I went away on a business trip for 5 days and came back to a dead battery
    • 1st: you have to install a kill switch, otherwise it will drain the battery in just a couple days because the Bluetooth stays on as well as the indicator lights on the box
    • so i loomed all the wires and protected them as much as i could
    • And lastly after riding less than a hour after installing them the speaker broke as you can see in the picture
    • It's very adequate .. not as good as
    • Sound quality is good, installation was easy, Bluetooth works as it should.
    • Would recommend as it wasn't hard to install even if you havnt installed speakers on a bike before
    • Everything worked as it was supposed to and I have no complaint
