Default Needed or Not

So I read about the PAC sni-15. I don't see where it IS or is NOT a MUST ?
Here's a scenario. 2 speaker on factory boom, amp with adjustable gain and frequencies, with RF flash.
Do you use it or not ? Do you use BT 355 with this ? or not. What does a PAC sni-15 actually do ?
Is there a quality brand ?

If ur using a factory amp there is no need. Ur already connected to the amp thus a Line Out Converter would not be required.

I would use one! Using the LOC, wiring the factory speaker plugs onto it, will plug into the speaker outs on the Boom head unit and no need to mess with the factory harness. From there you use RCA into the amp. Easy peasy!

This allows for low level inputs into the amp as opposed to high level.

That^^^^^.

If you have a Rock or 8/2 or ? Flash then use the LOC. If u have the stock OEM flash use the BT355 as that helps with the brutal bass curve associated w that flash.

Is there a quality LOC out there ? The last one I used, (on a different bike), burned up. Never knew why, and was told not to use it. But I didn't have the RF flash on that one.

That PAC SNI 15 serves its purpose very well.
