They utilize 2 - 2ohm crappy speakers in the fairing. The amp is built into the head unit and may be 25watts if I remember correctly.

The head unit is flashed for 2 speakers/0amp. Depending on your goals, will determine what you'll need for a flash.

If you are going to run 4 speakers and don't care about front/rear fade control, your flash is fine. You'll want to add a BT355 to your equipment list.

If having the ability to fade is important to you, you'll want the Ultra Flash. 4 speaker/0amp and 2 BT355's, 1 front- 1 rear.

And just don't tell the MOCO u are adding aftermarket stuff cause they will not flash it. Most of them won't anyways.

"I want the Ultra Flash cause I'm going to be adding Harley Lowers or a Harley King Tour Pack with speaker pods."
