Definitely no secrets on anything anymore. It's the setup and combos that are the trial and error. Other than some lid speaker swap I am done for now.

Some more tweaking and tuning and possible speaker change/add to the front stage.

To do some more dabbling in the uncharted waters that I started last winter and try to perfect the map of the waters I was traveling.
So your taking up sailing?

Up in this area it is called ice fishing if and when it gets cold enough.

Tesnevo I am thinking about going back to the lake we talked about in August for the bigger fish.

This audio thing is nuts.

When i bought my bike, I thought this is sweet, I finally have tunes on my bike. I was happy, for a while!!!!

Then I heard a few bikes at a bike night and thought, maybe i can up the game a bit. I think that's where it all went wrong. From there, I came here on the forums. Now that I think about it, that's where it went wrong (right). A couple different routes and I was happy again!!! But now I'm wanting more again. Everytime I think I'm good where I'm at, the target changes. It's like a drug habit, it takes a little more each time to get you where you want to be.

Going to these meet and greets with you guys is like hanging out with a group of dope dealers. Giving you a little taste and setting you up for the bigger high. Albeit, a really great group of drug dealers!!! Lol.

All that, for this. This winter will bring some changes. It's funny how you can start out saying " I can't give up any bag space" then comes the next season and you wonder how much space do you really need?

Thanks to all of you!!!!! A great group of guys, feeding my new addiction.

I have not dove into the sled audio the way I would like due to lack of funds, but from what I read drugs might be cheaper. Lol. Just gonna do some Polk audio mm652 up front to get me started and redo all of the stereo wiring. The rest of the money is for comfort upgrades this winter. Bars, headers, seats controls etc. Look forward to seeing what everyone is doing. Great group of guys with tons of ideas for any budget it seems. Good luck to everyone on the winter tear downs.

I'm thinking about pulling out the biketronics stuff and going with some Rockford fosgate stuff. A local indy has installed that in a couple of friends Limited's, and they kill my setup. Of course they have tour pack speakers, but I'll be adding lower speakers so. Just need to research exactly what he's installing. Scared me a bit when I asked him about flashes or line levelers, and he answered that Rockford fosgate requires neither, its all done "in the amp".
