Soon after the end of my two years warranty period the right front speaker of my 2014 Limited CVO stops working :-(
I'm into the electronic development business therefore it was not hard to find out that the main board of the amp was damaged.
I have read a lot here about the disappointing things arround this device. So my question is simple. Is there a solution to replace the amp with any other amps under my fairing one to one by using still the original multipin socket? If the experts see no chance with this I will see myself buying a new 76000277 -knowing the "improvable price/power-performance". or do I have another chance, without modifying the cable harness under my fairing.

For any help, Thanks a lot in advance - Thomas K

Amp is the original CVO 2014 76000277. Placed under fairing, connected with one multipin socket


At least some passive components burned defective on the right front channel. So the board is hard to be repaired.

 

So the decision has been made.
On eBay I found a later version of the amp "76000277A". The friendly shop from southern Texas shipped it to me in Germany.
The amp works fine and I'm happy again with this solution.
Nevertheless this posting was helpful to me, because 119 Readers and no direct answer makes it also clear. So I know "there is NO socket compatible solution" (no alternative amp) on the market. Because nobody of the readers have had an answer. With this clearyty the 1:1 replacement was a clear consequence.
Therefore Thanks to all who have clicked :-)

Thomas,

As you said most likely the reason nobody responded was nobody here has a good working knowledge of the factory Harley Audio equipment's guts. The reason being it just does not perform as well as even cheap aftermarket stereo equipment so we don't work with it much.

I am glad you found a simple solution, I too appreciate the value of "plug it up and forget it". I just outgrew the factory sound quality early on in the game. As far as cutting wires go you can add aftermarket amps and speakers without cutting the factory harness, but it does require some reading and learning from the bike's owner to do so.
