I know - I was just fooling around... nothing proprietary about MP3Gain - I read up on it on the WWW and came up with the 93Db.

BTW Since when am I only "good" Friend!!! LMAO...
Nutz is the godfather/mentor/Budha (no offense here - do not even know how you look hahaha) for sure.

I am just another dude that has been around audio and music for a long time (used to play in a band back in the 90's; just picked up playing bass) and trying to help those here that are less familiar with audio on their ride(s).

Gannicus on his end is the "warehouse" on this forum... I am sure he once (tried to) put old 1970 klipsch speakers on his bike, just to see how it sounded .
he got so much audio sh.t laying around, it is not funny haha. and he also knows his stuff, trust me... and would give him my wallet (empty though LOL)...

too much polyfil is just as bad as none. All over this forum I state
  • 3 thin layers in a 15x15 square for each fairing speaker.
  • no polyfil on 6x9 lids
  • rear tourpak pods and lowers pods, use a single thin layer to line the pod. DO NOT wrap pod speakers.
  • also make sure all of your speakers are connected correctly. If you have 1 speaker that you have crossed the + and - wires, the entire system will be out of phase and you will lose your bass response.

UN I just ordered a harness from VTwin Audio to install an amp and this is the second page of the install instructions. It's the bottom paragraph that I have questions about. I haven't called them yet and asked about it but I wanted to get all of your opinions on this and also,see if anyone else has heard of this.
