What flash

We have always flashed every Rushmore bike in house, and never use LL's. I posted this a while back but the many of the folks here advised against it that flashing a bike was a slippery slope, blah blah blah.
Oddly enough the few folks that took me up on flashing a radio and mailed them to me all said their bikes sounded better after a flash than with LL's. This is one of the main reasons we also never use the Sony radios either. We get great sound from the Rushmore HU's.

Has anyone thrown any test equipment on the HU output with an amp flash to confirm that?

I wouldn't go taking the LL out of play yet either. I am going to run this setup to see if I blow my stuff up or not. All I know is this is what a RF dealer and other installers (like haze) do when they install their sled audio, warranty what they do and it sounds better than running a LL. We will see. I just know that running a LL and having to use a hp filter on the amp of a boom setup is double filtering the original signal and some of it has to be lost. I saw the signal on the computer before and after the flash was done and there was a huge different. My thought is that's why the guys running the sony HU's have such great SQ with that HU.

Just to be clear, your flash is simply choosing the amp/speaker combo settings, anything else being changed? Do these flashes include any changes that won’t survivie a software upgrade or reset?

we flash EVERY bike, with or without a DSP. Yes it’s programming the correct amp/speaker combo...they all sound different. No issues with updates, you do lose fade, dealer can always re-flash it back. We’ve had zero issues in over a year of doing this.

I would love to get the LL out. I have played with the ***** on them and am in the camp that thinks it could be better without them. I am not going to start down the dsp path until he winter.
So my dealer will do flash for me. 2 questions,
1 what is the wiring adapter to go from the HD speaker out Molex to rca in for the amps? I am running 2 amps one off the front out for the fairing and lowers with PA and one off the rear out for the 6x9 lids. I use fade to try to balance a bit since no dsp.
2 what are the sound differences between them? Functionally sounds like I want the HD 6 speaker 2 amp flash.
