Default Boom audio stage 2 upgrade

I’m looking for advice on an audio upgrade. I’ve got a ultra limited low 2017 that I want to upgrade to Boom audio stage 2. Ultimately I’d like to have 6 speakers. Fairing, lowers, and tour pack. My problem is 90% of the time I ride with the tour pack off. That would be 4 speakers still running. I’m told that would throw codes and wouldn’t work.

Anyone else done this or can point me in the correct direction?

thanks in advance.

I have no experience in this matter, but would the tour pack speaker really add that much considering you ride without it a lot? Why not focus your resources on the system itself plus the very best fairing speakers you can get.

i own a 2019 SGS but 99% of the time use speakers in earbuds to listen to the system. I’ve never really understood the blasting of the sound that so many systems achieve. Just my humble opinion,

Don't waste your money on the Boom Junk. Head over to the audio section, the guys there will set you up right.

Forget boom. A mid level aftermarket 4 speaker setup will smoke the 6 speaker boom system for way less money.

True, they will help spend your $$, but a lot less than the BOOM stuff with twice the sound, and YOU, get to ride with Tunes you can hear.

True that. I got out of there only spending $1,200, so I consider myself lucky.

yeah I got out under a grand, then I quit, but I can feel a relapse coming and I’m gonna need another amp fix soon. I can feel the itch.
Just one more amp won’t hurt.......right?
