Default Claim made GTS boom in a pre 2019 ?

Can't show any proof it works. We all know 50% of the net is some kind of scan. but the Claim has been made. We shall see where it goes.

There are pics on Facebook showing one installed and operating, I think they are asking 450 for it. Pretty cool

I agree, it's pretty cool... 2 downsides imho.

1) Cost.... at 2100 upgrade cost it's a pricey venture

2) You still have a screwy eq curve.

That's the show stopper for me. Better resolution on screen and faster boot up add zero value for me. Not knocking guys that want it, but 0 improvement in SQ and I'm not interested.

It comes from the fact that the Moco uses two different bin files. One is a bin_off file used for listening (read demo on the sales floor) in accessory mode. The other is for when the bike is running, it is a less than stellar eq curve that basically saves the system from itself and the user. It may not be that bad when only stock equipment is used. Upgrading the factory audio with amps and good speakers gets to be a little more challenging with the Boom systems. To add another tid bit of info, they also use several flashes to accommodate the various models and options.

Ahh, thank you. I remember seeing posts from people complaining that the Boom sounded quite different with the motor running.

Truth be told it's beyond me why anyone would spend big $$ to listen from bike speakers going 70mph. I went with a Cardo PackTalk wireless headset w/JBL speakers. It's FM receiver seems to be better than that in the Boom, and the eq. is available from a phone app., but everyone to their own tastes, eh?

Then you've never heard a custom audio setup. And I'm not talking about that overpriced Boom crap either.

I have the send 20s EVOS and the WHIM, compared to my setup at any speed it sounds like complete and udder crap compared to my stereo system, half helmet, full face, doesn’t matter, no comparison
