Audio guru's
Does anyone know if the Boom Audio 5 1/4" speakers are 2 ohm max or 2 ohm rms? Poured through the threads and can't seem to locate this answer. Harley feels the need to try and keep this info secret as if it's the cure for male pattern baldness.

Anyway they are 2 ohm speakers. RMS unknown. RMS is the root mean square and it would be a number like 50, 60, 75 or 100. My suggestion would be to forget you ever heard the name BOOM and move on. You want speakers with at least 100 watts RMS and 90+ sensitivity. look at JM and Infinity for your 2 ohm speakers. Look at Biketronics, Kicker and Pioneer D series for your 4 ohm speakers.

I was asking because the 2011 RGC I just bought already has the Boom audio speakers in it. I can pick up a Clarion amp new for next to nothing. It says it's 2 ohm stable @ 2x75w max @ 2 ohm. After what I've spent on other upgrades in the past two weeks it's going to be a minute before I can get the $$ for a real system past the money warden. I'm just looking to find something to give the Boom's a little help until then. The interim will give me some time to research the setup I want to go with as a final upgrade. At that point I'm looking at the Biketronics and the new Fosgate bike set-up.

According to the manufacturer specs it has a high/low pass switch to eliminate the real low base frequencies. I was thinking that would help with the overload..go kaboom..issue.

Don't do it! Cvo speakers are one ohm. To get a multichannel amp that is one ohm stable, you'll be don't spent a grip on it!
