Default Stereo tuning question
When you guys and gals tune your stereos, what do you have you battery charger set on? I need to do some fine tuning but don’t want to run the battery down

I just push volume up or down while I'm riding. On occasion I will adjust base or treble, but not very often.
Do you have a stereo with 2 wheels?

So how do you get the base to adjust when your stereo has no base?

When I tune My System I always have my battery hooked up to a battery tender.
If I notice the voltage dropping I will start the scooter so it charges it.
I do have a DSI-2 that I connect to my laptop to do my fine tuning.

Most just use a trickle charger.

I used my BatteryMinder charger set at 8 amp that maintained a pretty solid 13.8v.

I use my car charger. It ranges from 2amp to 200amp boost.

I usually leave it on 2amp, if I'm working it too hard, I'll bump it to 10amp.

If I push my volume button in I have several options, base treble and automatic speed/volume adjustment.
