AAWAV or Gannicus:
When you're comparing the SS to the PA, are you comparing the OLDER version of the SS (single 30A fuse) or the newer version that has two fuses and the screw down blocks for ALL connections?
I thought I'd read some time ago that the newer variants of the SS weren't quite the same sound-wise. Maybe I've got it backwards though.
Either way, the swap will happen this evening; I need to button the bike back up to ride to drill tomorrow!

It does seem crisper. And louder...should have probably dialed in the gains a bit lower than I had them when the PA was connected to the Sony (odd, the Sony had 4v preamps). The HD1BT is now LOUD at 15...I haven't gone up to Max volume yet! Then again, this is in the garage, so that doesn't help the relative volume.
And oddly enough, I reconnected the PA, and rearranged the connections on the battery (putting the amp connectors under the bike's battery leads, then on top of the bike's cables, I put the rings for the battery tender lead, Wards fans and heated gear lead) and now there is no POP when turning off the head unit or the bike... sweet!

Yes Sir. . . Gotta be careful with the gains on that amp. It's a powerful little amp and it doesn't take much to be super LOUD. If the HD1BT is loud at 15 the gains are a little high. . lol. I can only go to about 30 on my Sony before my ears bleed and the gains are set at the 12:00 o'clock position. (Straight up and down)
