Default I think I have it dialed in

First, thank you to Gann, Haze, Bunker, and LL247. Gann and Haze have been very helpful and patient dealing with all of the idea's I get running through my head at 3am at work lol

I started my 4 speaker build by accidently frying a Moto 692 that I got a smoking deal on from LL247, right as I was getting my amp issues figured out.

In the meantime I through a set of Pioneer TS-D6902R 6X9s in the lids and they definitely provide the thump I was looking for to compliment the Moto 602's in the fairing, but they lack some clarity with the highs. These might find their way into the bags at some point.

Enter the Pioneer TS-A6994R 6x9s. Same thump, but way better clarity with the highs. Very happy until I can get the Moto 692's back in the lids.

Hear are some vids from today after dialing in the amps with my 4 speaker setup:

2015 FLHXS
Rockford Fosgate TM400x2AD (thank you Bunker) for the fairing, HPF at 80Hz
Cerwin Vega B54 bridged for the lids set to all pass
Arc Audio Moto 602
Pioneer TS-A6994R
Front and rear BT355
1.18.? version with only the flash to turn on the rear channel.






Definitely got the bug lol.

Thank you. The RF isn't bridged to the 602's, it's a 200Wx2.

That is Five Finger Death Punch "Far From Home" in that vid.

Sounds good BUT if you really want to show potential get it out of the garage and hear it drown out the exhaust note up close and hear it from 100+ feet away. I found out long ago garage vids and being outside in the environment reflect 2 totally different levels.

Raining too much today to go outside with the bike, but I completely agree. Sunshine comes back tomorrow (going to use a song that i used for my baseline when i started for comparison, Beastie Boys " In 3's") and Friday I'm heading out on a 400-500 mile ride for the real test
