There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.
UPGRADE STEREO AMP

Not sure what model you have but yes, you just disconnect the speaker wires and run them to an amp then back to the speakers. I used a compact 300 watt rockford fosgate 4 channel amp but I installed it where the XM satialite box would go so if you have that you may need to relocate the amp. The amp is very compact and works great but you will also need to upgrade the speakers. After blowing several aftermarket speakers I finally found "DC Gold Speakers" which are matched perfectly and can reproduce all the highs and the lows so you will get great bass.
These are custom made speakers and are pricey but worth the cost if you like clean sound. They fit in the orgional spots but you need to trim a corner off of the speakers on the front ones and a bit of plastic off of the bikes speaker grill cover on the rears. Neither trim shows and the speakers work fine when done. If you take a look at the side view comparision you can see how dramatically differernt the speakers are and the small one is already a high performance upgrade.
I added a 300 watt bass amp in the frunk to get even more base but that is strickly an option, the DC Golds work great without it.
Good luck

Great info, Thank you!
Thank you for the info, I was worried Can Am did something crazy with the wiring to prevent an easy switch out. I like the Rockford amps, not familiar with the DC Gold, but will check them out. I'm hoping I can fit a 6 1/2" in somehow then I wont need to find a place for an 8" subwoofer...
