Default Line Output Converter setting question

Using the following LOC from factory 16 RG radio, going to 2 amps to power PRV horns, 6 1/2 and 8's. Should I leave the dial 12oclock (1/2 way point). These things never really much sense to me.

50 watts maximum input per channel Linear 20 to 20,000Hz output based on input signal Transformer isolated for optimal sound and performance Maintains correct phasing Works with most factory installed radios Detachable wiring harness Integrated wire tie mount

If what I'm seeing, it's on a 16 Road glide. If thats correct you should be using a BT355 line leveler and not the PacSNI.

The Pac is simply a line out convertor which takes high level outputs and converts to low level. You want that also, but more importantly, you want to tame that EQ curve out of the Boom radio.

Yes it's for a 2016 road glide special.

So there is no alternative other than the BT355? Just trying to save a few bucks and those things run kinda high but if it's worth it for proper audio then I guess I'll have to get one.
