not sure why you would use a separate switch when your ignition switch is already there.

Hers my 2 cents on why or why not more information isn’t given out. I’m a newbie and I had no idea how to use an EQ or DSP so I watched a lot of videos and read some articles. Picked a lot of my buddies brains with a million questions which they got tired of I’m sure. Downloaded the program and started playing around with it justnon computer not hooked up to everything. That was a great way to start to understand what the functions of the program did. It was still clear as mud haha. Decided I should have someone install my system and tune it. Was it completely perfect depends on who’s listening. Then it came time to ride and I could notice a difference so needed to get that preset 2 and that was like night and day having that now active.

I think it was T that said earlier when riding you will need to balance the system out differently as yeah u will need to give some more to the bags versus it sitting still. I’m working on that now. Its all trial and error and everyone’s ear is different. So long story short for guys that have experience to just give you a tune what good will that do as everyone’s system is different as others have said. That tune May blow your system then what you will blame them and trash them that they wrecked your system. No one wants that. There’s really two ways to do this. Have your system installed and tuned by a professional or hook it up and start playing around with it. Did I get a little help sure I did but I had it installed and tuned where the installer was actually there listening. If guys just send tunes they aren’t there to here what’s going on thus a liabilty in my eyes. So please stop expecting free info or tunes it’s prob not gonna happen.

Because I didn't think of it when I wired up a switch instead...

BINGO! I spent the last couple months installing and tuning (in the garage) and had her dialed in just right.
The snow finally melted I was able to put some miles on this past weekend. Well now I have a lot more tuning to do. It's a different world between garage and riding. I'm running ARC DSP. Would be nice to have the DSR1 and be able to tune from phone.

The difference between riding sled audio vs parking lot sled audio is similar to comparing ice hockey to ice fishing!!



Luv T

PS. Having the wiring capability to tune the PSM for a static tune and and also riding tune is a damn good feature to have so don't underestimate this when ur wiring things up.
