How easy is the installation? Do I need to cut or splice wires, or flash the Harley radio?

Installation is engineered for precision—not improvisation. Soundz kits are built for both professional dealers and capable DIYers. With factory-grade harnessing and integrated tuning, there’s no wire cutting, no soldering, and no dealer flash required.

Here’s how it breaks down:

• No Wire Cutting: Every Soundz kit includes a model-specific harness designed to connect directly to the bike’s factory radio wiring—no guesswork, no damage to stock wiring. You’ll use an inline T-harness that pulls audio signal cleanly, and battery power leads with pre-crimped terminals. It’s a bolt-in process, not a hack job.
• No Dealer Flash Required: For 2014–2023 bikes running Boom!™ Box radios, we’ve eliminated the need for a dealership visit or external flash tool. Our Soundz DSP interface includes a built-in flash process, triggered during setup with our included software. It reconfigures the factory EQ properly for Soundz systems—no risk, no surprises, no upsells at the dealership.
• Bolt-in Installation: Every component is designed to fit existing factory locations. Amplifiers are mounted in the fairing using custom brackets—never in the saddlebags. Speakers are either direct-fit or upsized when it improves performance, like converting 5.25″ fairing pods to 6.5″ or 5×7″ lids to 6×9″ on 23.5+ CVO™ bikes. Our saddlebag kits adapt the factory lids—not replacements—so your paint match and fit stay perfect. No special fab work needed outside of lid cutouts (and yes, we provide full templates).
• Pre-Tuned DSP: The interface module (not the amp) handles tuning. Whether it’s the CAN bus version for 2014–2023 or the A2B version for 2023.5+ CVO™ and 2024+ Skyline OS, the DSP comes pre-loaded with the correct sound map for your bike and kit configuration. Gains, EQ, and crossovers are already set—so you just install and ride. No amp knobs, no software confusion, no risk of blowing speakers.
• Installation Time: For a first-timer, a 2-speaker fairing kit might take a few hours—mostly due to fairing removal and clean wire routing. But with everything clearly labeled and plug-in ready, there’s little trial and error. Dealers and experienced techs can knock it out fast.

Bottom line: Soundz kits install clean, smart, and fast. No wire butchering, no splicing, no flash tools. Just precision-fit components, pre-loaded tuning, and a professional-grade result—fully reversible, but once you hear it, you won’t want to.
