Default Jl fix 86

Is anyone running the jl fix 86. Does it work better then the line levelers. Or has someone figured out how to get the mid bass back after you start the bike.

I have talked to several people that have installed the fix. All say the same thing, Improves sound quality and makes the bass and treble adjustments work much better. also no more sound diff between run/acc. I was set on getting one, but Arc has one coming out, so Im waiting to see what is said about it. Sounds like it will be harder to setup than the fix though. Everyone has said its much better than LL's.

The dsr1 is coming out sometime in the spring, but I haven't heard if it will do what the Fix86 will do as far as taking either the on or off bin and having the same output signal. Having the functions of the 360 is appealing along with Bluetooth to your phone for tuning instead of needing to hook up to a computer sounds cool, I know i really like my FP3. I'm not sure how much time delay will help on our bikes, but being able to eq each channel separately will help for sure.

Vance and Hines FP3 fuel controller. Newer version of their fuel pack, but you can control it through your phone using bluetooth. Here's a screen shot of being able to mess with the A/Focal #s.
