Default HK flash and magic box?

Yall have lost me on the HU flash and magic box stuff. Does this stuff need to be done to upgrade fairing speakers and add an amp?

I ask because I have fried two sets of speakers and one side on my amp. Fried right side speakers on a set of polk audios and set of cycle sounds with a pbr300x2. The system sounded good before amp fry and speakers. I am only replacing fairing speakers and adding an amp to them only.

trying to make sure this is not something I need to to in order to get a good sounding system with out having problems.

Thanks for the help.

Lot more people educated on this than me. But the short answer would be yes. I think once you add the amp you need to reflash the head unit. you may have had a bad am and that's what fried the speakers. Not flashing the head unit more than likely was not the cause but still needed to be done.
