Question 2019 Boom GTS - Flash

Hello everyone,
I’m brand new to HD. On last Monday I walked into a local dealership on a morning whim- by the end of the day, I was the owner of a brand spankin’ new 19 Road Glide Special. The next morning, I jumped on a plane to go back to work. I had the bike delivered to my house last Friday. I won’t be back home to ride it for about 3 weeks - in the mean time, I’m researching and ordering parts!
I’ve ordered a slew of audio products and I’d like to avoid using a LL/Flattener to over come the DSP of the BoomGTS. After searching the forum and reading a myriad of threads, I have not found any definitive answer as to whether or not the GTS can be flashed for/to 4 speakers/no amps?
I called a few shops in the area (from Rockford Fosgate list of dealers). 1 stated they hadn’t done anything later than a 17 and that they’re Digitech probably wouldn’t connect based on the current SW
One other shop stated that he hadn’t done an 2019 models - but- he was confident he could do it because his software updates whenever he connects to the internet.
Has anyone reading this had a 19 flashed? If so, how well did it work out?
TIA

If you are going to use a BT line leveler than use 4-0. If you are not using a line leveler use 8 speaker 2 amps.
