Default Fader help

Could use some input. 16 RG. Just added new speakers and 2 amps. Everything works and sounds great. My problem is that I can't adjust the fader any longer. Even stranger is I cut it on one time and the fader is set all to front. The next time I cut it on it may go all to the rear. No matter what I try I can't adjust it. I can't set up the amps like this. Any help would be appreciated.

No it had a 4 speaker boom system in it to start. I had fade capability before I swapped amps and speakers. Running two BT line levelers.

First tell us just exactly you have in your setup. Type of amps and speakers. Do you have 2 bt 355 line levelers in the loop? Next tell just how you have the setup wired including from the head unit to the amps (rca conections) from the amp to the speakers. Lastly if no LL in play, what flash do you have. We can decipher from there.

I had the same issues - Start the bike, check to see where the fader is, then push the left or right fader arrow button the number of times to get it to center, turn the bike off - wait a few minutes, start the bike again and see if it is at center
Mine would move - but never noticed any change in actual volume front to back

You just need the correct flash, my buddies CVO did the same thing when I installed his stereo. Fader moved but did nothing.

The bike had the boom system when I purchased used. Ok, stock head unit, two BT line levelers. One for the front and one for the rear. Direct plug in to the LL from the pods in the front and rear connection from the feed to the rear speakers in the faring. All this feeds the LL from the HU. From the LL to the amps are fed with rca cables. The front amp is CV B54. I used a splitter to feed the front and back inputs. Then I bridged the front and back output and ran them to the left and right speakers. The rear amp is a CV B52. The feeds are the same with no splitter as this is a two channel amp. As I stated, everything works and sounds good. I just have no control over the fader. Turn it on and the fade may be all to the front or rear or anywhere in-between.

It sound like you have everything wired right and using 2 LL. It has to be the in the flash and how that flash incorporates the boom amps. I suggest that you have the HU re-flashed for a 4 speaker/0 amp flash to get the fade to work properly unless anyone else has a suggestion.
