2014 FLHXS Radio Flash Problems
I installed the Rockford PBR300X2 amp and Polk MM651 speakers in my 2014 FLHXS. The amp is wired to the existing front fairing speaker outputs. Out of the amp goes to the cross overs and then to the speakers. I took my bike to the dealer to flash the radio for 2 speakers/1 amp but after they did they I didn't have any sound. They tried it twice with the same results. Has anyone else experienced this? I only have the two speakers so I don't have any fader settings to check. Any help would be much appreciated.

You said,
"You took my bike to the dealer to flash the radio for 2 speakers/1 amp"
Take it back and ask them to put it back to stock,
"2 speakers/NO amp
This what other people have posted for this problem.
Hope this helps,
Chris

No, others have stated that flashing for 1 amp have made a huge difference in audio quality. That is what others are posting.

It is very confusing I know. I have seen it said both ways. I too have a 2014 SGS and am also finding it difficult to find coo-berating stories. My only advise is, it's not working by telling the Boom! Radio there's an Amp. Try telling it there isn't.
Please keep me up to date.
Cheers, and just as frustrated as you,
Chris

Does anyone know the options that the dealer should select when flashing a 2014 6.5 radio for aftermarket amp and speakers?

you have the amp wired to high side (stock speaker out)(not good for sound has to be converted to line level low power) then you crossover the sound.. the boom amp download I believe it is stopping the high side signal and is sending the signal to the preamp side of the radio which you are not using .. go back to stock convert speaker signal down crossover it amp it and then speaker it..or better way wire amp to radio preamp outs which you probably need an adaptor with Harley doesnt sell but comes with boom amp..

There is no low or high level output from the stereo. My problem was that I didn't have the remote power connected and after they flashed the radio, the AMP wasn't seeing enough of a signal to turn on, hence no sound. With remote power connected and the radio flashed it now sounds awesome.
