I had read not to mess with adjustments as they are preset. Also I never flashed bike because just amp and 2 speakers shouldn’t need it. If I do adjust LL could I get back to factory settings if need be.
Trying to troubleshoot everything else before I mess with LL. Thanks though

Ya I read that too.... it’s not a big deal to turn them back to stock. Up to you

This sounds a bit beyond my knowledge level but, willing to learn. My set-up is also tinny sounding. 15 Streetglide Sp. with BT amp and (can't remember exact #) AA moto 602 speakers. Clearance checked, all wires perfect! Just a bit too much highs. Agreeing with bzmannn, I was told the same thing. How do you know which way to turn, and by how much?

Just a quick thought, there has been. many times I've read that Mike at BT recommends doing a factory reset after installation. I'd try that before moving the line leveler adjustment.

Let us know the results!!

I guess i just saw it the other way,not to much highs but not enough lows, once i adjusted the BT LL I was able to get the lows back, and then fine tuned the HPF on my amp to my liking. prior to adjusting the LL, the HPF did nothing.

imho 42.3 sounds way too high for that system. Gains that high plus avc will smoke those speakers.
