Speaker upgrade help needed
Okay, I've searched &have found contradicting information, so I'll ask.
2014 Street Glide with the 4.3 Radio. I want to start with upgrading speakers. Maybe an amp in the future, but not now. Will I need a radio flash or not?
I know I need 2ohm speakers. I don't want to spend a ton of money. The JBL GTO638 seems to have good HD based reviews on Amazon. Otherwise maybe Polk MM651 or Infiniti Kappas. other than the speaker adapters, what will I need?
If I decide to add an amp down the road, what all will I need then? Flash or just some inverters?

If you are doing just fairing speakers u will not need a flash as the flash that is spoken of most around here is to open up the rear channel for lids speaks or adding a TP.
Since it's a Rushmore u will need a BT 355 Line Leveler to flatten out the crappy HD bass curve. This also makes it a "plus and play" install.

How do I know if the previous owner had the rear speakers flashed but took them off? When scrolling through my diagnostic menu earlier I had codes b1350 & b1342 for rear speakers open.
radio hardware version

software version 1.16.9

Do you have rear fade control? If you don't, then the bike was probably not flashed. That is an older software version though.
