unhooking the amp under tour pack
I have been kicking around doing a detachable tourpac mount on my 2012 Ultra. I was told if i remove the tourpac and unhook the rear amp i wont be able to use the radio...is this true? is there a jumper harness i can plug in to bypass the removed amp? I still want useage of the radio thru the front speakers with the tourpac removed...any suggestions or ideas please share..

well try to un plug it and see, mine is a little older 2005' with no amp in rear, and it worked fine, I have to admit i take the box off very little due to its so darn handy for storage

As already posted, having the Boom system the only way I know for sure is to disconnect the power and speakers and see what happens.
Edit: Is there a separate amp for the front speakers?

No. The amp mounted under the tour pak powers all four speakers.

Well if this is the case the OP can't remove the TP and keep his tunes. I could see installing an amp under the TP to power rear lid speaker. An amp under the fairing would have been a much better approach on a four speaker setup and allow for TP removal.
