Exactly.

Many dog on the Boom! Stage II. But I'm very satisfied with mine, and it's all covered under the extended warranty. Even if it DID cost more than buying aftermarket and installing it myself.

Don't get me wrong I like the BOOM II, but if I'm paying as much as it cost! - I expect it if not to be the best - at least to work.

See, that was my exact point! I liked it so much that even I rad all negatives about it here, I was like "I don't care that it cost's more MINE for sure will have no issues" ... sure it ran fine for year and a half, until I installed WHIM and did another flash. SO mad.

For sure Boom II is speedy and there are likely other setups out there that sound as good (or arguably better) for less. In my case I went Boom II and I'm glad I did. It's covered under my ESP for up to 7 years and it sounds great to my older ears. I figure a bike is about as shitty a place as one could dream of for a high fidelity setup but Boom II sounds surprisingly good at volume and speed. It's been rock solid as well. If you've had yours for some time and it's suddenly **** the bed is that time to hate on it? I dunno, nothing lasts forever (which is why my 7 years of coverage is so sweet).

I think that is very fair. I hope it gets figured out soon!

Get someone who knows something about audio equipment to help you. It's pretty evident that you have mismatched equipment.
