Default Sound Changed??
Anyone had their sound change while riding?
I've been making changes to the flash and software. Put it back to stock flash with 1.19.1 software. Added a new amp and spent a couple hours tuning. Rode it and it was ok. Not the best going down the road but sounded awesome parked. The highs jumped out and the bass hit hard.
Today I went for a spin to test and about a mile down the road it was like flipping a switch. The highs were gone. Sounded completely different. I figured I blew something and headed home. After listening more it seems like the eq settings are different. No highs or lows, just flat. Is this just the boom blues or am I loosing my mind? I seem to recall last fall doing an update and it changed the sound several days later.

It sounded the same as in the garage when I drove it a couple days prior. Now it sounds the same (flat) parked.

Good tip, I think 1.19.0 sounds better than the others.
