Default Harmon Kardon 4 Speaker W/Amp Boom System

Hello, I have a 2013 Ultra Limited and i upgraded the stock speakers to Boom System w/Amp. What i really would like to know is,do i have to have the dealer download anything that would make the system perform better??? The system sounds pretty good now. If so,no ploblem,i would like to get the most potential out of the system that is possible,however i just don't trust the dealers because i feel some of them will tell you anything to make a buc! Any thought,suggestions or facts will be appreciated!! Thanx

You should have came fishing here BEFORE you bought the BOOM system.......nothing we can do to help you now.

You don't need to download anything.

How much did they peel you for your investment ??

The BOOM is better than stock, but you could have had WAY more, for the same $$$$................

The instructions should mention the sound equalization software download.

Unless you added the tourpak pod bass port enhancement (silly IMO), there is nothing for the dealer to do. When you do the bass port for the pods you're supposed to bring the bike to the dealer and let them flash some sound enhancement which from what I gather is nothing more than a loudness feature.
