Unlocked AB interface
Didn't see this anywhere so disregard if already posted and I missed it. Volunteer Audio is releasing their interface that isn't pre tuned for just the hertz system. According to the video they're available now but the online software for tuning won't be fully ready for about a month, limited features until then. Supposedly accessed through factory usb for tuning when all said and done. For now at least it's the only one on market but a few others are rumored to be coming out in the next couple of months. If you previously bought the AB interface pre tuned for the hertz setup you will be able to access the software for tweaking if desired. All yours for $899 plus $100 for the harness (universal or hertz package specific).
It certainly opens the new bikes up to a ton of options for your choice of amps/speakers but audio sure ain't getting any cheaper. I'm not knocking the price, they paid for the development and won the race to market but I was hoping for a lower price point. Will be interesting to see where the other manufacturers come in at since they have a target now.

I also worry about the new A2B converters being LOCKED OUT of the system by Harley and Fosgate, any time in the future whereby they decide to modify the internal communication codes between audio devices ,,,,,
I know that Volunteer audio has really spent a great deal of time and $$ to bring these A2B converters to market, but I have not yet seen a review by anyone who has one working, except from Volunteer audio themselves ,,,,,
still makes more sense to me to use the STOCK Harley amplifier as the A2B converter, and connect the ROKKER amplifiers to the outputs using our specially tuned adapters ,,,,
Audio performance in this configuration is clean and loud, with on-highway performance comparable to our ROKKER XXR systems for the 2014-2023 Harleys ,,,

and THEN when the new A2B converters have proven themselves to work properly, not be affected by Harley system updates AND the price comes down a bit, simply unplug the stock Harley amp, from the ROKKER amp, plug in the new A2B converter ,,,, and rock n roll ,,,,
