Adding an amp to 2015 Ultra
I want to add an amp to my factory stereo on my 2015 Ultra. I have heard the stereo has to be flashed and I've heard it doesn't. Can someone please clear this up for me?

The flash you have is fine. They don't flash for your wanted upgrade any longer, anyway.
What you will need is a Line Leveler to flatten out the eq signal from the radio and before the amp. Biketronics has the BT 355.. You will also need new speakers, the stock ones won't survive the amp.

Granted, Soundz is promoting their products and services, but they are widely respected for their work.

i added an amp to my 16 RGU and had to have it flashed... as it was explained to me, it disables the head unit's amp and tells it to use the new amp, so there's no bi-amping going on. I just went with the one amp in the faring. the flash also changed the graphics for the fader. I have the factory Boom 6.5.
