Default New AMP Help needed!!

First off I am not an audio person. Any help would be greatly appreciated

2010 Road Glide (NOT ULTRA)

I currently am running 2 front Hertz 6.5 Speakers and 2 rear Punch 6x9 Speakers. I purchased the Soundstream Picaso nano PN4.1000D to replace my Rockford Fosgate amp. I am being told I need to flash my existing stock radio for 4 channel setup to run this amp properly.

Is this true?? If not, how should I hook this up? I did not hook up the current system.

thanks in advance

I hope this amp improves the sound quality

You do not need to flash anything. Flashing is for Rushmore (2014+) bikes.

What Rockford amp? I'm guessing the PBR300X4?

Gonna take you off high level with the Soundstream bro. We're gonna run low level input.
First off whomever told you to get a flash on a 2010 RG does not have your best interest at heart. Never speak to them again!! Lol. All jokes aside get a set of PAC-15 or PAC-35 line levelers and a two sets of stinger 4000 series RCA's. You will need these to run low level off the Soundstream. PM me when you have the gear.
