I just just checked mine by pink Floyd shine one you crazy diamond and Joe Walsh Life's been good to me both live cuts and all I can say is I wish the wife didn't have to be up at 230am
WOW I love my new set up

 

it is all personal (depends on your ears as well as type of music you like to listen to), BUT... there are several "websites" that provide like a top 10 songs to dial in your system by ear (not bike related!!!).
1 list I found 2 years ago (cannot find it anymore!) had Hotel California as well as 2 songs, sorry, of the black eye Peas and 1 from Radiohead (for "ultra" lows).

this one I just found: http://portable-speakers-review.topt...-speakers.html

 

I listen to a lot of music that has a ton of bass. If I used Hotel California I'd blow my speakers when the bass hit.

Love me some Big Pun....I'm not a player, I just crush a lot
Tupac California is another one I like.

 

Nice fine. LOL at some of the warnings at then end of each choice.

 

Hmm I may need to revisit my tune with that list.
I originally used bawitdaba, just lose it, a Mashup called the day the music died and bird machine. Never thought about some of those songs in the list above.

 

Having worked in the concert business for 16 years, I have never heard anyone use any of those songs to tune any speakers. That list is horrible. Maybe it's different for smaller speakers, but I wouldn't say any of those suggestions are good at all. I have hears Norah Jones - Don't Know Why used a lot. Just throwing that out there.

 

I would think the best would be classical or jazz, as the music is usually recorded flat without any coloration.

 

Damn that's an old thread!!!! Tune to what u listen to bro. If ur goal is hip hop parking lot competition ur building and tuning to that. If ur putting around town or up and down the strand/boardwalk listening to loud rock, build and tune to that. If ur a touring dude that plugs 2000 sounds in and rolls, u better build and tune to a wide range.

Id rock kat daddy for some bass. rihanna, hotel cali, or marvin gaye for some clarity. And then some def leopard, Metallica, or guns n roses for loudness.

 

and i hate to be the guy to mention micheal jackson, but when billie jean plays and those drums crack loud enuf to make the Warden cringe on the back seat...
