Default Adding an Amp

So, I added an amplifier to my 2018 FLTRU. It is a Hogtunes REV240-RM 4 channel amplifier. I have looked around here a lot and everything i see is people either using a BT155 line leveler or having the Infotainment system flashed. Currently, the system does not sound bad with the amp installed and Hogtunes told me I did not need a flash if I had an ultra with the fade ability built in, which I do. I guess I am just curious as to what other peoples experience is with a flash on the system and if it is worth the $70 they now charge for it?

Thanks in advance

I can't tell you how to spend your money. If it were my money, it would be flashed. If you like the way it sounds and performs, leave it.

Got the system flashed and man does it sound better! I had the dealer down in Dalton, GA do it and they were great to work with. I hadn't realized it but I picked up a nail somewhere and they found it, most likely from my work parking lot, replaced the tire, stabilizer and flash for $550. Great independent dealer with great staff

Tire had 9200 miles on it so it was time anyways. I was procrastinating.

Glad it worked out for you. Was it worth the cost of the flash?
