correct. Dealers can’t do the flash with their HD software unless Boom is recognized. The options won’t show up on their screen.

I think that depends on the dealership. My dealership asked me if I wanted to flash for an amp or not when they did my bike. I told them no amp and just flash for 4 channel no amp like an ultra per recommendations from here. They could have flashed for an amp and in hind site I wish I had them do it. I wouldn't have to had it flashed again. im not sure just what tools they were using but I don't think it was HD programmer. Now I have no LOC or rca connections in line. Just molex connectors from hu to the amp with fade control.

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.
you will not have fade with that flash. The boom system has to see a boom amp in order for it to give the fade option. If you flash to a 4/0 flash you get fade but not as flat a signal.
All the molex connectors are available thru vtwin audio or namz

interesting. The flash info I got from your company (RF) specifically stated you would not have fade unless 4/0 flash was used. JM gave me the same info.

The dealers digital technician use to be able to flash whatever you wanted. The moco took that option out of the program.

So I am still confused. Can you get the 6/2 flash without fade if you don’t have the Boom amp or can the software not do anything except 2/0 4/0 when no Boom amp is installed. Seem to be getting conflicting reports here. Like I said sin my previous post, my dealer will do anything I ask as long as the software is capable.

I had the dealership flash my hu for the 4/0 to give me fade control right after I installed the system. When I had the audio shop flash it, they flashed it for 4 channel/1 amp and tried 6 channel/2 amps and it sounded better so that is what I ended up with. No loss of fade control.
Time will tell if it works or blows up my shix. I did rewire the amp eliminating the rca's and LL, retuned and it sounds good to me.

BTW I noticed my company (RF). lol

You had an indy shop do your flash, correct?

BTW wife is happy with HCX 165s/TM400X4AD combo you suggested so maybe you are on the right track.

Does your fade work? I’ve heard of people getting it on the screen but it doesn’t function without the boom amp. I haven’t done any experiments with different flashes so I’m only going off what I’ve read, which could be bs.
