Harley Boom Audio Amp with J&M Speakers
Anybody use the Harley Boom Audio amp with J&M Speakers? I have the Stock HK radio in my Limited with J&M Rokker speakers. Since I already spent the money on these speakers I want to keep them, put push them louder. My dealer says by using the Boom Amp my warranty on the radio will remain and I will like the clearer louder sound. I know I should upgrade everything etc. etc. but I want to keep my stock radio just want it louder. Let your knowledge/experience rain down upon me..........

The only thing I would contribute is when I put the Boom amp under the tour pak it made it a hassle to either change the license tag (say to a personalized one) or to move the TP back using the adjustment holes

Thanks for the response. What speakers are you using and is it noticably louder at high speeds?

Thanks app. Sounds like the J&Ms may have done more than the Boom Audio amp. I did it the other way around. Speakers first just wondering if the amp will help a lot or if the stock radio will cut me out at higher volumes/ speeds...

dealer apparently has no clue what "clearer louder" sounds like. Slap an aftermarket amp in there on those J&Ms and you'll be delighted.

HD's audio products are poor value.
Dealers often play the warranty card to discourage use of better, less expensive aftermarket products--but that's BS.
Check out the audio forum.

That's what I was going to say. Why in the world would an aftermarket am void the Harley radio? That's like a car company saying if you change out the head unit it will void the warranty. I know you're just repeating what the shop told you but are a lot of amps out there that are better. Including motorcycle specific or mini amps used in cars.
