HD 6.5" boom speaker upgrade
Anyone installed the 6.5" Boom upgrade fairing speakers in a 2014 touring bike? Just the fairing speakers, no amp. If so, what do you think of them? I just put them in my new Streetglide and I am pretty disappointed. I previously had the Boom faring speakers in a 2012 Streetglide and found them to be big improvement over the stock speakers. But the Boom upgrade for 2014, not so much. The sound is pretty flat - it almost seems like they tuned them to stay away from any highs or lows so they could play louder without distorting. Am I missing anything in tuning them?
Thoughts??

Just an update for anyone thinking about these speakers. They need an amp even though the P&A book doesn't tell you that. Without the amp they are muddy and flat - unless you crank the volume all the way up and then they distort. The stock speakers sound much better with just the stock radio. I removed them and went back to the stocke 5.25" speakers - much better. I will wait a bit to see how the aftermarket develops.
For now, don't waste your $$ on the Boom components unless you are prepared to spend big - and then the quality is mediocre at best.
