Default Biketronics

After many hours of research on line I have decided to go with Biketronics 4180 amp and BT7P1 Pro 2014 speakers for the fairing. Just looking to see what would be the best speakers for the tour pack? I did have a guy offer to do a package deal with Beyma 6.5 coaxial speakers in the fairing and Hertz in the tour pack. This set up was a lot more and I havent heard much about Beyma on these forums. Anyone using Beyma? What a good speaker to pair up with the BT7P1 Pros? I have a 2016 Ultra,

Still looking for info after 4 years - I am currently running Software version 1.19.0 with my 6.5 Boom radio but was wondering about upgrading to update things. I have Biketronics BT355s and the 4180 Amp - no complaints with them, just a few software annoyances, bugs and some outdated maps. The current version is 1.22.0.1. Do I still have the ideal version (I haven't followed this thread at all in quite a while) or should I upgrade to keep my audio sounding like it does?

There hasn’t been much discussion on this lately but the last general consensus is that 1.19.0 is still the best for audio. Many have said it’s not enough to forego the updates/fixes. FWIW I’m still running 1.19.0.

I did a exchange of the line levelers with Biketronics for their new ones and my local Harley Davidson dealer swopped them out for free. Not expecting that but I did pay a lot to get them to install the amp and four speakers. It does sound better.

New line levelers for the Rushmore's?? If so what do they do differently?

A Flash still only gives you simple bass and treble adjustment. A dsp gives you infinite control!!!!

fix86. Takes care of it all..Just saying. You want to update your software. Then do it..if it screws up your sound just recalibrate the fix. Problem solved until Harley changes EQ again no problem just recalibrate again...been running it for over a year.
If I would have found this first I would have save a ton of money
