    Appreciate the rundown. I'm a non-cvo where single connection 5X7 boom Lid and 5.25 Boom fairing speakers were added with or without an amp. Not sure. Guy I bought the bike from used a different set of lids, so should call you guys to see what my options are. Sounds like I could get an amp to increase the sound or if it has one, maybe I need to swap out speakers and add an amp. Will be calling you guys soon to figure best route.

    I have a 14 SGS with lowers, all with boom 1 (was the only option at the time). So I have boom 1 speakers with tweeters in the fairing and larger boom 1 speakers in the lowers. All with single amp in fairing. The fade works as expected with ability to fade up and down. I’m 5’8” and I can here system clearly with 8” windshield @100mph.
    A work around for the lousy equalizer issue with the factory amp: I plug my iPhone into the system and use the phone as the equalizer. It actually sounds pretty decent. I also use the iPhone as my navigation because the HD nav sucks (even worse than the factory equalizer).
    I already have a wheelbarrow full of money in this scooter, and I’ve only put like 69k miles on it. I figure as long as the factory setup continues to function (satisfactorily) I’ll keep dealing with the work arounds. I’ll probably get me a new scooter at 100k miles anyway. However, if it breaks before replacement time….You’ll have another customer.

    is there a way to get the bass the Boom system has from either the hertz or kappa perfect 6X9’s?

    • @volunteeraudio
      @volunteeraudio  2 ปีที่แล้ว

      There is a fine line between bass and distortion, the boom system has so much bass you can not hear the audio clearly, the infinity and hertz option both add a lot of mid and high with the bass. 6.5” and 6x9” speakers can only make so much bass, when add more mid abs high to add volume and clarity we perceive less bass since we have more of everything else. I think the closest speaker to stock boom bass and still has higher volume and clarity is the precision power speaker lineup, it’s just 2 completely different sounds between full range (boom and precision power) and the hybrid loud speakers without horns (hertz neo and infinity kappa perfect)

    I have a soundigital 400x4 in my 2018 road glide special with TMS65 6-1/2, I noticed in the amp there's hi level in plugs in it for 1-2 and 3-4...if I upgraded to a full stage 2 hertz amp/soundstream radio what would happen to those hi level input plugs going into the soundigital amp?

    I am in the process of installing a Euphoria system in my 2019 Road Glide CVO and I have sound to the front speakers but I, for the life of me, cant figure out the rear lid speaker connections. Its the boom 2 system connections and I have all the bypass plugs but I have about 3 left over and have a feeling it has something to do with those. From what I can see I have all the connections where they need to be but I am missing something. You guys seem the most knowledgeable all this so I'm reaching out for help.
