Default Question on Boom System Upgrade
I have a stock 2016 Street Glide Special Boom Stereo system. Is an upgrade to the Harley Boom II system worth it?

NO!

For what you will pay for the Boom 2 system you can have a much better cheaper aftermarket system that you will be much happier with.

Not a chance in hell. Take some time to lurk around the various threads a bit and come up with a ruff budget. When you start to get a few ideas post them up with the budget # and how many speaks long term and I am sure u will find a brother that has already traveled the same path.

Nooooooooooooooo. I've been down that road. Be thankful you showed up here first and asked that question before spending a nickel on any additional Boom paraphernalia.
