LOL.Just a curious question.. If RF knows that their 5x7 is a direct plug and play replacement for the Boom I & Boom II speakers... Why would they say the do not work with the Boom II? I mean with all the known issues with blown 5x7 in the lids that Harley has, why would RF not take advantage of that known issue and state right on their site that it works with both and for the Boom II you only need the one plug? They are not gaining anything by telling people it doesn't work. Just seems odd to me. If it does work as others are saying, then it seems RF is missing out a lot of sales...

Its like some random harley tech telling ppl they haven't heard of sumping or the transfer issue. I had more than one tell me this. "Never heard of that...."
Not all employees know what they're talking about. If these two guys above say the RF speakers will work, they'll work.
But, I think you should bite the bullet and go with something better and ditch all the boom crap. lol An amp and 2 pair of 6.5's and a pair of 6x9's can be had for well less than 2k.

Not trying to get under your skin but if the truth gets your panties wadded up you've came to the wrong place. We're all here to help and it's obvious you came here for advice. I was merely pointing out the advice RF gave you was wrong. I'll just defer to the other helpful folks here that have the ability to beat around the bush for those with delicate feelings. Good day.

That is what they say but they work. The boom speakers are biamped meaning they have 2 plugs going to them. The tms57's are coax meaning they will produce the full range with one source. You install them and only use the woofer plug (the only one that will fit) and leave the other plug unplugged. Full range sound from the rear that actually sounds better than the boom.
If I was the OP I'd listen to travelingypsye as he's done this before with good results.

Why are grown *** men like yourself all in their feelings? You still haven't answered my original question to you...Did RF's response seem sensible to you? You know it did or you wouldn't have posted their response here. But I'm the ******* for pointing out the obvious. If that's how you see it then so be it. I've been called worse. Good luck in your quest. Personally I'd pull out all the Boom II crap and start over but you're not interested in what I think. Good day.
