FLHX stereo question
I bought a nice Used 2008 FLHX with a Tourpack installed.
If I remove the Tourpack, my stereo does not work.
Apparantly the Amplifier is under the Tour pack which the Harley people here tell me is not standard and if I wanted to put another one in the fairing, it would be $$ to do that or move it,
I would like to be able to play music without having the Tourpack on all the time. Is there any option other than the $$ one?
Thanks!

Orrrrrr...you could buy a SECOND amp for the batwing and have the present amp only control rear speakers. You could even ADD speakers. Namely in your lids.

woofmaster if I'm not mistaken and I'm no expert on these HD/Boom Audio amps..
on the stock head unit only the front outputs of the head unit are used to feed signal to this amp. The amp then seperates the signal internally and feeds both front and rear speakers. There is also some CANBUS stuff to worry about here too that tells the head unit about the amp, etc. This explains why when you detach the tourpak, the front speakers no longer work either.
If Carl, Harleypingman is around he might chime in as well because he knows more about these HD amps than I ever want to know about them.
What I would do is simply disconnect the front speakers in the fairing and don't use those wires for anything.
On the 28 pin connector that's plugged into the back of the head unit, pins 1,2,24,25 are your speaker outputs from the head unit. "Y" those off and feed them into a small amp like the PBR300x2 and wire that to your front speakers. Now this is providing your front speakers can handle this kind of power. If not, I'd replace those too with something like the Biketronics BT7P1 7.1" and be done with it.
Now the other option would be simply to re-route the existing harness for that amp, stick it in a saddlebag and make quick disconnects for your rear speaker pods.
