Default Still not satisfied

So setup is alpine hd149, bt 4180, 7.1 fairing 6.5 lowers,6x9 lids.
Two things not happy with.
1. I listen to country, old rock most and everything else on occasion , I can not get eq set to play country and rock either one or the other which makes me have to switch between my eq settings on deck if I want the best for each.
everything from bass to highs that country will take are to much for rock

2. I feel like front sound stage needs more bass thinking about trying the arc moto in lower pods but hole reason bought bt was lifetime warranty matched speakers.

do you folks think some, most of this is tuning ? what's thoughts of switching to Kenwood x998 for warmer more mid bass

Do you run your fairing and lowers in parallel?

Is this a serious post? It sounds great to me...I'm not sure why you're not happy.
Also, I'm sure after recording this, your neighbors hate you with a passion. lol

Dude your fine. with the exception of the HU, I have the exact same set up.
There's absolutely nothing that you're missing. Remember, its a bike stereo, not a club. The thing with bike stereo's is, you're always gonna want more. But I'm sure everyone on the road near you, will hear your music clearly. Also, those BT speakers are so powerful, that they completely kill the bass from your 6x9's. No way around that.

Get on it and ride and enjoy the music.

The Moto 602s will def help your bass out, but I'm guessing Haze asked about running your front sets in parallel because you don't want to run 2 different speakers in parallel.
