Default 2014 sgs hd boom upgrade problem

I took my new bike to the HD Dealer to have the boom upgrade, it sounds great, only problem is the amp doesn't seem to power up all the time, and when it doesn't power up the volume all the way up you barely hear anything, weather its on FM radio, or my ipod no difference. The dealer had had it back twice and I don't think they have the amp powering up on a good source, the first time they hooked it up to the turn signal hot wire, any suggestions, where to connect the hot wire for the amp? You wouldn't think a customer would have to find a solution to this problem,

Thanks for any solutions

MOhdman ,,,,,,,

is it possible that the dealer did not connect the amplifier into the bike properly ? ,,,,, should not be that hard as it is all plug-n-play ,,,,,,,

well, first he should remove the Harley amp and have the radio flashed back to stock ,,,,,, OR flashed as NO AMP/ACTIVATE FRONT/REAR FADE ,,,,,,

then you can add any amp that you would like to ,,,,,,,,,,

once you can get past all of the B/T and Fosgate sales force on this forum ,,, take a look at these also, http://www.jmcorp.com/SeeProducts.asp?PF=50 as I consider them THE BEST value for the $$$ spent ,,,,,

Through the years I have tried man many speakers and amps. A couple were bad ****.
I now ride a CVO street glide with the boom audio/amp with 6 speakers and 2 tweeters.
I am very happy with it.
