right now I have the Stock GTS radio on my 19 road glide special. I have been trying to get some better bass response.
current setup is cicada 6.5 components in the fairing. GZ yellow baskets in the lowers.
1200.2 4 ohm sound digital amp
gz4-8xii dsp
the sound is crystal clear and loud. Never flashed the radio. But. Ow Im not sure if I should or should t. I just would like to hear the bass drums of Metallica or megadeth songs.
Should always flash it, however, with your set up you're not going to get the bass you want. Unless you drop in some 8" or 10" subs somewhere, won't happen. 6.5's in fairings just can't do it. One reason I went with GZ's in the fairing is the good mids response, and slightly better lows than some in their class. This winter I'm going to wrap the pods with sound mats, and then install some 6X9 GZ's in the lids. Buddy of mine is working on 3D printing pods for those as well. Still won't get the bass, but will help a bit. Best of luck. Oh, the OP is the guy who actually put my system together.

Which model Cicada are you running in the fairing??
I hope I don't sound too stupid here, but I'm trying to correlate the Flash info language used in this thread to what I'm seeing on the EQ screens of my bike! I have a 2020 Street Glide, and I'm pretty unhappy with my audio system. To put it simply, I think it sounds like someone threw a blanket over the speakers. I have like ZERO Hi Frequency response with the Treble control turned all the way up, and I have the Bass turned all the way down to avoid low-end distortion. I'm running a 2-speaker system using 2-way speakers in the factory enclosures with some damping material inside them. I have the Biketronics BT355 line level converter and a Dual Class-D 600 Watt stereo amp. I was using the factory EQ preset up until last week when I went into my HD dealer and had them install the 'Rockford' flash. I got a certificate back from them indicating that this was done. But, this is where it gets muddy: How does one know just what you've got by looking at the EQ screens on the media head? I'm going to attempt to post some pics of where my unit is currently set as far as EQ goes. I believe the pics show it as being selection '08'? That's the only one Highlighted. But, this is where I'm also trying to associate the 8/2 or 8/4 numbers here in this thread with the 'EQ Settings' numbers as shown on the media head screen. I hope you can enlighten me here. I DO understand the graphs, and from what I see in the original post's reference it looks like the Rockford flash is the 'flattest' of all of them, but that also appears to be using the BT355. I'm curious about that as well, since that unit attaches to the speaker output of the media head. Was that a voltage/frequency reading taken FROM the RCA 'outs' of the BT355? It said 'no amp' in the heading, so without an amp I'm curious just how this measurement was achieved? Again, hope to get 'educated' here. Thanks, Tom D
