This is what i have read as i know little to nothing about it but after a trip to my dealer i am thinking of buying some Boom's the parts guy tells me the new version is first class. Dynamat It is a form of sound insulation/sound proofing comes in a sheet,a lot of people say you can also use a product called peel and stick (thin flexible roofing rubber) that u can buy at lowes for a great deal less.I guess you cover the rear of the speaker to create the effect of a deeper sound and to prevent sound loss.

You don't cover the rear of speake,r you cover the enclosure the speaker is in to make it more solid and less hollow sounding. This gives a much better sound. My fairing now sounds less hollow if you knock on the outside of it. I lined the entire inside of the outer fairing with Dynamat.

I also just purchased the Boom speakers and think they sound good, but I am not getting the volume that I was expecting. The reason I bought the speakers were because the pitch of the stock speakers hurt my ears when anything other than music came on, like a DJ's voice or a commercial with someone talking, while at highway speeds. The Boom speakers actually cured that problem, but I honestly believe the stock speakers were louder. I am finding myself cranking the volume up to max just to hear it at highway speeds when before I never had to turn it up to more than 3/4 volume. I think my overall cure is that I am going to have to buy an amp to go with the Boom speakers because I do like the quality of the sound they provide. I am hoping that it may also be my setup with the stock HK stereo. I never did get to play with that much after installation of the speakers.
PS. I had to modify the chrome speaker rings to fit the Booms, because I like my chrome stuff

Didyou install the boom pods to a stock detachable king tour pac? Do you have any pics? Did you also add an amp or have the dealer reflash your stock radio so you could use the fade options?

Sorry it took me forever to repost. I don't check in as often as I'd like to.
I ordered a new king tour-pak and these speakers when I picked up the bike. I had the dealership do all the installation. They are attached to the pak if that's what you mean.
As far as the fade feature, honestly I haven't messed with it as it sounds good. I hadn't even tried to adjust the fade and wasn't aware a flash may be necessary. I'll look into that.
