New Front Speaker Setup
I just installed speakers and amp in my 16 RGS. It's a Biketronics BT355, B52 amp and Kappa 62.11 speakers. I've gathered all the info on here I could before I installed but wanted to verify my setup with the guys on here. I set this up by ear.
I have turned off AVC and set treble and bass flat (dead center). Set frequency to the 9 o'clock position but not positive this is 80 hz, sensitivity (gains) was turned completely down, and switched crossover adjustment to HP.
I started the bike and set volume to 3/4 and started to adjust the gains. Some songs sounded good at the 11 o'clock but others had some distortion so I settled at the 10 o'clock position.
I just wanted to verify that I didn't miss anything or should have done something different. Thanks for any of the guidance

Sounds like you've done everything correctly. Tuning by ear is crucial as you've experienced with your setup. May be a good idea to check your music source and make certain that all off your music is playing at the same levels.

Thank you SBates08. I'm currently playing mostly off USB. Most of the songs were ok when I had the gains turned up but a few had some distortion so I figured turning gains down some to play it on the safe side would be best.

There's a program to convert all ur songs to the same volume or dB watever it is lol..im sure someone will name it.. I've used it before with mixed results.. The songs that sounded low now song normal.. Others are super loud and all were done at the same rate.. Maybe I didn't do it right or something but maybe it'l help u dial in your system

Something to remember - Don't decompress .mp3s. You lose some fidelity every time you compress a file into an .mp3. What I did was rip my CDs to uncompressed .wav files and used those as the source. If I had to make changes after I exported the file to .mp3 I started over with the original unmodified .wav file.
Overkill I'm sure and time consuming but I am very happy with the results.
