Here is what I found on the RF website when I was doing my upgrade and this is the flash I have now. Apologize for the quality... The important thing is to be on the SYSTEM INFORMATION tab when the tech sets the amp1 and amp2 to NO which may be the default) and on the SPEAKERS tab when he sets it to 8 speakers /blah, blah/2 amps.

Also keep in mind that this flash makes it necessary to use a remote turn-on wire which I wired up to the positive side of the 'cigarette lighter' port.

I also lost the automatic volume control which I didn't think worked that great to begin with.....

Now if someone can answer may latest question about if I upgrade the firmware to the next level, will I lose the dealer flash?

I used the suggested settings from JM I think it was, and AVC, fade, bass, treble, etc.... everything works.

I'd like to hear too if doing the latest ECM download overwrites the flash. My guess is it would. I'm not going to be the one to find out lol.

Truth is, I don't have any Boom issues that need fixing.

Default New system on the way

Well, after reading most of this, I'm convinced I need an upgrade. So I am going with the following:

Infinity Kappa 62.11i
SS PN2.350D Picasso NANO 2-Channel Amp
Boom Audio grills

Really hoping I don't have clearance issues with the Infinity's. If I do hopefully I can sort it out without much trouble.

But the best part is.......... less than $220 delivered.

The tweeters. Here's a thread about it...https://www.hdforums.com/forum/audio...or-kappas.html

At least one other user had the same problem. Maybe there are different Boom grills?

The first set of BA grills I got for an install a while back were not like that. They were perfectly flat. Interesting. Nice work-around!
