The amplifier turn-on wire is not used when the radio is flashed because it uses the DC Offset from the speaker outputs (via the t-harness) to turn-on the amplifier.
@@derricksax8836 Great question, we have tested GT and GTS radios and the highest volume should be 3-bars from MAX. Anything beyond that and you will just clip the radio and add distortion.
I’m removing my stage 3 from my streetglide to put on my road glide. Will the stock set up work once it’s all removed or do I need to flash the computer back to stock ?
We don't recommend any aftermarket installation be used without Flashing the radio, regardless if using Rockford Fosgate or any other brand. Other's that use "line levelers" simple attenuate the audio, but can't fix the radio clipping. It's not a matter on IF you burn-up your speakers, it's a matter of WHEN you burn them up. You can read more about why the need to flash here: rftech.custhelp.com/app/answers/detail/a_id/1215/
Hdhu 14 siri ( sound stream company) is installed in my roadglide now. If i install rockford amp. Is flashing amp needed? Because i plan to install myself in korea . I have many question. Sorry.
No, if you have the SoundStream model, you do not ned to flash the radio. The flashing requirement is is needed to remove the EQ settings on FACTORY HARLEY-DAVIDSON GT, GT6.5, and GTS radios, not aftermarket models.
If you hear the "double heartbeat" when you turn your bike/audio system on, then it's flashed. This is caused by the CANbus looking for the factory amplifier. If you don't hear it, it's not flashed.

Where does amp turn on wire connect to?
The amplifier turn-on wire is not used when the radio is flashed because it uses the DC Offset from the speaker outputs (via the t-harness) to turn-on the amplifier.
So can you ever go max volume or just not before you flash it ?
No, we never recommend max volume without the radio being flashed.
What about if it is flashed ?

Thnx almost done with install
I’m removing my stage 3 from my streetglide to put on my road glide. Will the stock set up work once it’s all removed or do I need to flash the computer back to stock ?
Yes, a flashed radio with no amplifier will still work fine. It just gets rid of the nasty Bass Boost that typically damages speakers.
Question do the bag speakers work with out the radio being flashed or does have to be flashed first ?

@@rockfordfosgate VERY.VERY THANKS A LOT!!!!
Excellent video, now show a DSR1 install with the same setup please.
Thanks for your feedback. We're thinking about producing a DSR1 supplemental video that illustrates how to integrate it into an existing setup.
how do i know my radio is flashed??
If you hear the "double heartbeat" when you turn your bike/audio system on, then it's flashed. This is caused by the CANbus looking for the factory amplifier. If you don't hear it, it's not flashed.
@@rockfordfosgate Thanks so much for the reply. I just ordered the system and looking forward to installing it!
