Default bt355 VS flash

There's a place around the corner that flashes bikes for RF systems they install. If you had easy access to a flash, would you do the flash over BT355? This would be for a amp and 2 speaker system.

The BT355 makes it easy to plug into your speaker connectors and convert to rca for low level amp inputs.

If your amp has high level inputs you can purchase the connectors and make up plug n play adaptors or tap into those speaker wires and wire direct.

I'm gonna say get it flashed, you can used then use adapters from American hard bag to get your inputs to the amp.

Good info. But as a low cost option what about just using the speaker wire downstream of the harness and hooking up a PAC SNI LOC with RCAs. And if u get a smoking deal on a Stinker amp wiring kit those harnesses are included in their orange box bundle.

Lots of options!!! BT 355, 8/2 flash, AHB adapters, PAC LOC etc......

I just cut a 1.5’ rca cable in half and soldered it onto the ends of the speaker pigtails that go into the pods. Then plugged those into the dsp. You could go straight into most amps (with proper flash) I would think, except SD. The hu only puts out 3-5v anyways, depending on flash.

Just found out the shop charges $100 for flash. Seems high?

I would keep looking. $40-$60 seems more reasonable.

And this is why the proven BT355 is a popular path.
