An answer then a question. Only the dealer can do flashes and do you already have the boom stuff?
Because for the money you can get much, much, much better sound. More importantly, much more reliable audio components that will actually have a resale value. That boom stuff is so bad they won't even take returns on it. The failure rate is abysmal.

 

I can't tell from your question if you have installed the stage II kit, or planning on installing the stage II kit?

 

We are planning on installing the Stage II kit on my buddy's Ultra. It already has the four stock speakers and the Boom 4.3 screen. There are two speakers in the fairing and two in the tour pack. He has already purchased everything from HD, it will arrive this week. I have experience on upgrading to Stage II fairing speakers and added the amp on my 2015 FLHXS and I rode it to the dealer so they could flash it. The instructions clearly say that you will blow the speakers if the system is not flashed.

My question is strictly about flashing the system after the install so we don't blow the speakers. From what I have found it must be done at the dealer. However, he has a brand new 2017 and the Service Manager mentioned that he thought he would not have to bring it in to get it flashed and that somehow we could do it.

I still believe he should not turn the system on and that he should bring it to the dealer so they can flash it so it recognizes that it now has two 300 watt amps instead of stock power.

 

It sounds like the Service Manager isn't sure. I agree with you. Bring it to the dealer and have a Tech that is familiar with the Boom II systems take a look at it.

 

Hi New the forum...

I have a quick ?

I have 3 reg speakers... 1 4x6 and 2 5x7 and 1 sub. Do I need a 4 channel amp? The only thing got me confused is the bridging part. What I really want to do is play all four through 1 amp with good power going the sub. Please show a diagram of how this should be wired. Any help with be appreciated.

Thanks

 

you are joking right? If not, then I highly suggest you take your bike down to your local audio shop for the assistance that you need.

 

I have a '14 SG and looking to upgrade my stock system. Looking at the RF PBR300x2, because it seems to be a popular choice on this forum, plus I'm also on a budget. What I really need to know is, what is a good quality brand of speakers to buy, without having to modify my stock pods. Do I need 2 or 4 ohms, and exactly how to wire them. Any info would be greatly appreciated.

 

This old fart learned something tonight, I have been scratching my bald head for weeks trying to figure out how to upgrade my 16 RG Audio, this bit of education helps . Thanks, Vann

You can add Gannicus to that list and you WILL get the best sled audio advice there is!

 

good info regarding ohms and matching speakers to source (HU/amp)

what about watts?
example: two 4 ohm speakers in parallel connected to 2 ohm channel, channel output is 150 watts @ 2 ohms. how many watts do each speaker get? 150 or 75
