That's great service. Now save that file, and when you open ia copy of it, you can make little tweaks here and there to see if you can dial it in even better. Just don't overwrite the original so you have a fall back. Cheers!
yep! exactly what I plan to do! still have original file stored on phone in case I screw something up!
I make custom files for folks all the time. I even had a bike win an SOS show that I tuned remotely, another made it to the finals in Myrtle two weeks ago. It's do-able.
Hi Haze,
How can I contact to inquire about your remote tuning assistance?
Darn funny how things change remember being stuck like op and man the crap I got for asking for can map .
Even after spending lotta of money all it takes is one shop to start it and soon they will all jump in and this will soon be the normal .
Will be interesting to see how many folks do this to multiple shops and then start reporting back as to who has the best mail tune.Good news for eq dummy's as my self just to bad took so long .

It will be fun to watch this evolve. I think Chris Lowe has basically set the standard going forward. Buy product from his shop and they will offer up a lil extra customer service to get the DIY crowd playing in a generally accepted tune sandbox. Soundz & others are already in that same tent regarding their packages. Many shops will follow. For the true DIYs, the info & education will be exchanged more and more each and every day. The M&Gs are also a great place to hear systems that ur ears like and simply view the tunes & associated product pairings. No two tunes will be the same however the successful baseline tunes will no longer be a secret & get most folks really damn close to where individual minor tweaks become damn easy & rewarding to each individuals ears. Fun stuff watching the sled audio industry advance/mature. I learn new shix each and every day & enjoy the hell out of the process.

Times change that's for sure! I'm no longer at the shop -- gave the keys to my partner Henry. I haven't been there for almost a year...ALL I've done of the last year is tune bikes, mostly for local shops or guys travel down to Florida to have their bikes tuned (similar to a dynotuner). I also work with major shops/installers across the country to get their bikes ready for shows.. I've found I can't virtually tune all bikes so I have to be pretty selective who I can help otherwise it's not worth it to the guy on the other end. GBS guys are good dudes and offer a basic tune to their customers, essentially to get them initial sound but it's also a wise warranty prevention tool. The tune comes ONLY with crossovers set up (no EQ) and it lowers the chances anyone is going to blow a speaker!! (smart of them) For Iamann22 it wasn't enough so I'll see if I can help him out. I don't offer "baseline" tunes, I make each one from scratch and no tunes even virtually are the same. It's a process and luckily I've nailed each one, so far. I don't know of anyone else that is creating tunes from scratch like this. For most shops...well at least the top shops or show winning ones, it's too time consuming for the cost of a tune, they have a shop full of bikes that need work and those normally take priority.
Knowing what I know now, my honest recommendation is to try to get it your biked tuned at a reputable award winning shop. Across the entire country there's only a handful of folks that continue to win shows and most of the shops that are doing well in retail are not winning much. Don't fall for gimmicks that guys know about tunning because they sell speakers or do installs. Be choosy with who you think can provide you a tune.

I can agree with that. I have spent my share of money on these shop around me and still had to end up trying to do it myself. I have learn a lot here. Some things come easy and other not so easy.

Don't get me wrong as I find tremendous value in the art of tuning however there are endless details that all are directly factored into such tune thus I find limited $$$ value in a email file or remote tune. Unless someone can physically get their ears and other business tools on a sled, it's nothing more than a baseline tune. No way around it. Just way too many factors that go into a properly tuned sled.
Furthermore, after all that static tuning takes place we then realize that for 99% of the marketplace, sleds are not static displays thus these fancy tunes become even more of a baseline tune for each individual to build upon based on their ears and various other dynamic circumstances.
So what's the ultimate solution for the end user on this daily rider social media platform? Education? Exposure? Hands on? Local support from a trade professional? Audio packages that are proven? Pre-tuned packages? Remote tunes? Product selection? Build strategy? Etc?
I would bet big cash that picking just one or focusing on just one of the above topics will NOT provide for an optimum or max potential sled audio experience. A balanced combination of many of the above factors perhaps? Damn right!!!! At the end of the day education, exposure, hands on experience and networking play a very big role in the unicorn hunt. Which is probably why many of us come here on our spare time to enjoy & embrace this hobby as a damn fun challenge. It's all about the details. Each and every one of of the details.
