Default Hello
My new '16 Black Gold Flake SGS "Bass Boat" and I would like to say hello. I just upgraded to the Boom II (front speakers only, so far)... and haven't been able to get out nearly as much as I'd like to get past the break-in!! (SHAME!!)

Been a long time member here (had an '11 Electra Glide and '09 Nightster)...

Just saying hi!

Good looking paint.One of the biggest challenges you will have is figuring out that 6.5 Boom box.Had mine for over 3 weeks now and still reading the Boom manual.

I have read this crazy book cover to cover many times, and haven't figured it all out yet... I figured out home to program home, YAY me.

Question: My dealer wired my Boom II to Ignition and not accessory... is that standard? Can they make it so it'll work on accessory? The head unit works, but not the amp.... no sound unless Ignition is on.

Head unit powers on, in either... the added amp does not... or I don't get any sound until I'm in "on"...
