Default Harley Boom Amplifier Kit 76000278???

I just purchased a 2014 Ultra Limited with the Boom 6.5" speakers, front & rear.

Will the Boom Amplifier Kit wake-up the front speakers or would my money be better spent on new fairing speakers & a different amp?

Beyond a doubt your best option is to put in a new amp, speakers and a Biketronics line leveler. You will never be happy with Boom. Do a quick forum search and the advice will be uniform. The amp and speaker recommendation will depend on your budget but you will not hear a recommendation to install a boom amp. $500 for that amp is a total waste of money. This forum is an amazing source of info.

I've installed aftermarket speakers & amps on lots of pre-Rushmore bikes. I was hoping that the Boom system for the 2014 & up models was improved to the point that it was a viable option.

I wouldn't pay $500.00 for a Boom amp. If it's a good option for the Boom speakers (volume & clarity versus factory speakers & no amp) that have already been installed in my fairing, I thought I might try to buy one here on the Forum or on eBay at a bargain price.

It's just good money spent poorly, regardless of the amount, if u think it will magically make the Boom speakers come alive and be tolerable on the road.

Tailwind is correct. We have a package for the new model bikes that's priced at 579 which will be leaps and bounds over anything boom can offer
