I did the newest J&M Rokker XXR amp and speakers in my 2015 RG, final verdict is still out on it as I'm kinda disappointed, John from J&M wants to meet up with me at AMERICADE and seems to think he can work it out for me...otherwise I'll be ripping it out and going with Biketronics...probably should have went that route from the start...but I drank the kool-aid lol

I have front stage 1 to install(had points to use plus sale), but I'm really afraid to fix something that's not broke. I already can full volume(+bass-treble) and my 70's rock is clear as can be at 0-75+ mph. At WFO, my RCX's will mask it. more thump would always be good, but not at the cost and the nightmares. I already have to turn it down. I'm trying to find some music I don't play to prove what a crappy system it is.

I put a bunch of time into researching audio upgrades as I'm a bit of an **** audiophile. I realized that a big Harley with the exhaust sound I loved and the open air environment wasn't going to be conducive to quality sound at highway speed no matter how much cash I threw at it. Having said that at slower speeds with an open face helmet and no ear plugs I get great quality sound...actually up to about 50-60 MPH. I chose the Boom! II upgrade including 4 speakers and the 2nd amp. I mainly did this for warranty purposes but in retrospect even though I really like the sound (for what it is) I think I overpaid. I wear S Plugs or ear plugs if I'm at highway speeds for more than a few minutes regardless of helmet (but always when wearing a ff). I get really good sound with the S Plugs at very low volume and also get awesome sound deadening. If I were to do it over I'd probably have kept the stereo stock as it sounded ok at low speed and just spent the money on S Plugs. If I spent most of my time cruising around town then the upgrades I made would have been worth it.

I have a setup with Hog tunes 6 1/2" fairing Speakers and JM 6 1/2 speakers in my saddlebags with JM Rokker 4x500 amp
No flash needed
No problems with performance after a speaker replacement. ( I did have a hog tunes speaker that went out randomly but they sent another in about a week and it's performed great for about 6 months now )
I am satisfied with my upgrade. It's aftermarket but all plug and okay with like connectors bc even though it's made by different manufacturers its compatible, relatively affordable, and both companies provide good support.

I installed the Boom Stage I and although it is more clear/louder, I've had some issues that I've had to go back to the dealer for. #1 the amp "clips" when I first turn the bike on. This normally indicates some sort of ground fault, but for the life of me, I haven't been able to pin point it. It could be internal to the amp, dealer looking into it now. #2 My fader/balance controls are unresponsive. All 4 speakers have equal sound, but I'm unable to change anything. #3 Like many others, my AVC is no longer working. It was working fine until the amp install so I'm not sure what the deal is there now. I have 19.1 firmware and it was working after the flash. Hooking up the bike to digi tech shows that the amp loses communications to the unit. The amp is definitely not playing well. I'm beginning to think that I should've saved the $1K in amp and speakers and went with HogTunes or RF.....
