Since it appears you're not going over the top with your system and just looking for some better sound, if you want fade, I'd ask dealer to do the ultra flash, which is just 4 speakers and 0 amps. Then get a bt355 from biketronics for the front and rear. It'll help flatten out a bit and then you still have fade. Keep it simple.

I know we did 4 speaks with no amp. (it referred to the rear as "pods")
Man...Radio Shack used to sell those adapter/leveler combos for 10.00.
The Dayton DSR gives me a bluetooth app and PC/USB for settings all for 150.00
Wouldn't that(or any DSR) be better than just a pre amp line leveler?

I took bike in to have it flashed 4 speakers, 0 amp but the indy said it would sound better with amp on. I am not convinced I am getting the best sound with 4 speakers 1 amp. Highs are high, mids are weak and no lows. Would having it flashed 4/0 improve the sound? BT4180, 2 line levelers, 7.1's in the fairing and Hertz SV 165's in lowers. I did some tweaking of the LL as per Tailwind. Sounds OK on the highway, nice and loud but in the garage a little bit ago, highs were ear piercing.

You can NOT solve all the Boom HU issues with a flash at least not any flash currently available. You have to choose what is important to you. The 8 speakers two amps flash sounds pretty darn good but the fade won't work. The new Rockford flash has good reviews but I'm sure it has flaws as well. If you gotta have it all you gotta have an aftermarket HU.

The Cure for the OEM Head Unit Blues
Digital signal processors do the same job as equalizers, but many of them also perform crossover-like functions. That means they can frequency issues, but they can also adjust what frequencies are sent to which speakers.
There are a number of uses for a digital sound processor, but one of the most remarkable is to fix problems that you may have noticed with your OEM head unit. Most factory stereos are designed to compensate for low-quality speakers, which is accomplished by artificially manipulating the frequency profile. When you replace your inferior original equipment speakers with high-quality aftermarket units, this manipulation is often very easy to pick up on. If you also install an amp, the problem will only get worse.
That’s where a digital signal processor can come to the rescue. The processor sits between the head unit and the amp, and it can literally undo the factory unit’s monkey business. Some digital signal processors even have custom profiles that can be downloaded from the Internet, which will automatically fix the preprocessing issue and improve the overall listening experience by fine-tuning the unit for the interior of the specific vehicle.
