Audio issues
I've spent the last day scouring the forum for an answer to my audio question & haven't been able to find it, so here goes.
I'm 70 years old and have a '16 Tri-Glide Ultra. I need to get more volume out of my Boom system. Don't know if my hearing is starting to go, or what.
I always ride with a helmet and thus only hear from my ear pads. Volume (of course) is turned up to max, and the only time I can hear well is at low speeds. Highway speed is impossible. Would love to be able to hear the prompts from the nav system.
Is there a solution??????

Thanks. Yeah, by ear pads I mean helmet speakers. Everything goes to them. I don't listen to radio channels, they're to difficult to maintain while riding in traffic. Seek, scan, up, down, static, etc I just have a usb stick with all my music on there.
And like I said, no problem around town. Just when you get out on the highway, it's a little difficult to hear. I'm sure I'm not the only one who's ever griped about this. The nav prompts and intercom seem to be the worst. Not that I can't hear at all, it's just difficult. Probably just old age. Gettin' old is a bitch.
I was hoping there would just be a simple little trick to tweaking the electronics some how to get a little more volume output. No big deal. I can live with it.
