I also had the boom audio upgrade done as well and blew right side speaker even before I had the bike insured was just listening to stereo in the garage. Took it to the dealer and was replaced, they did jokingly say I must have had it to loud but no problem with replacement.

Default No problem

As described by many...dealer had no issues replacing the speakers. They are ordering them right away, will get them put on when they come in. I guess that is what I should have expected. I feel somewhat validated for having them install it now.

What does this video have to do with the OP issue of a speaker connection issue?

I did the boom audio upgrade also with the plan to add saddlebag speakers later. How are the saddlebag speakers doing for you? Any improvement on sound, especially when cruising at highway speeds?

This shameless and inappropriate advertising is actually having a negative sales impact from my point of view. At this point I would never buy anything Rokker. I wish the forum moderator would take some action on this.

I have to agree. The shameless plugs of videos and no comments or help with the original topic get very annoying. Its almost an anti benefit to JM. I would not buy there product as its just annoying that its thrown in every post audio related.
