I'm about to wire up my Cycle Sounds Radio, and everything looks relatively simple (despite the crappy instructions) EXCEPT:
1. The directions say that "Amp comes pre wired with OEM wire connectors that plug into most accessory add on connectors under seat." I've looked under the seat... and I have no idea what I'm looking for. I don't see any free plugs. Where should I be looking?
2. The kit said that I needed to install a relatively cheap t-tap to avoid voiding out the warranty on the electrical system. These instructions are even worse. None of the plugs on the t-tap fit the plug on the amp, so I'm not sure at all where it even goes.
3. I also picked up a USB charger to plug into the bike and mount under the ignition... it didn't come with instructions at all.
I don't get it. It SEEMS like a very easy project, yet these instructions are so poorly written, I can't seem to get past bolting the parts to the bike. There aren't even any diagrams.
Anyone have any experience with these?

Last time I called the number, it was a Friday afternoon and the guy answered his cell phone from happy hour. He was pretty helpful all the same. I will give them a holler the next time I'm able. Problem is not bein' able to call them from home 'cause I don't get there till after 7 eastern.
I didn't see a fuse in the T-Tap. Would photos help? I can take pics of all the connectors.

Sure Bob. Send in some pics. Take your seat off and snap a few there also. I know we have some electrical wizards on the site. Cant be that hard to mumble through it.

One under the seat. That big red thing at the back is my Panacea tail-light controller.

I've got more pics. Took a bunch of close-ups of the plugs. Just let me know what would be helpful... 'cause I'm freakin' stumped.

Almost forgot. Here is the extra bag of goodies that came with it.
