Hogtunes Amp.
I'm considering buying the Hogtunes nca70.2 amp for my'03 egc, but can't seem to find any pictures or literature on what adjustments are on the amp. High pass, low pass, gain, or bass boost? Any help would be appriciated.

Also found it at Dennis Kirk w/ some better pics:

Adjusting Your System--Please Read!
In order to make your new system perform as good as it was designed,
please take a minute to understand and follow these tips:
1) Set your “Automatic Volume Control” (AVC) to 3 bars. After extensive on
road testing, we found that this AVC position works and sounds best. Your
new amplifier has been specifically set-up for this radio setting.
2) Your Hogtunes system is designed specifically for a motorcycle at speed.
Exhaust noise and wind noise have been taken into careful consideration
in how your system performs. How your new system sounds in a driveway
or garage is radically different from how it will sound at highway speeds.
Although your system was set-up with a factory radio with its bass and
treble controls in the middle position, if you feel the need to make adjustments,
please do so (carefully) at your normal cruising speed.
3) If you have an aftermarket car radio on your bike, everything will work
fine, but please remember that car radios are designed to work in an
environment with little or no exhaust or wind noise. Many car radios have
“features” such as equalizers, loudness contours, surround effects, etc., all
designed for a quiet environment, and all of which will hurt your ability to
hear your motorcycle system at speed if left on. Please take a minute and
turn as much of these “features” off. With a car radio in your bike, the
only adjustments you should be able to access for best performance are
volume, bass, treble, balance, and fader.
4) If your using an external device to supply music through the radios aux
port, we have an article on our website that can help make your peripheral
audio device sound as good as it can. The article is at http://www.

yeah it's got gain controls and nothing else.
and I call total BS to #3.
and if you don't mind about 1 hour of work to install something I would HIGHLY suggest looking at the PBR300x2 for a 2 speaker setup. More powerful amp, less money, better quality. It's very easy to install and if you look at the top of the audio thread there are step by step installation instructions that cover a good range of bikes and combinations.

Seriously though Drugar - for a couple bucks more than that amp alone you could get an entire system (amp+speakers).
UN knows his stuff! What's your budget? Do you already have upgraded speakers you were going to push w the 70.2 amp?

Thanx for the replies. I ordered the rockford fosgate instead. Didn't like the idea of no adjustments. I have a set of J&M 140 watt speakers already. I'm not tring to enter a stereo competion, just trying to listen to some tunes while I'm riding. Thanx again

that should do perfectly fine for you sir. Make sure to wrap those speakers with polyfil while you've got the fairing apart to help tighten up the sloppy bottom end.

Polyfil
Would polyfil be like a speaker baffle? I'm just curious. Thanks.

not so much a baffle as a tuning device to trick your speakers into thinking they're in a more controlled enclosure.

Polyfil
Interesting. I was looking into baffles for speakers as I understand will help focus the sound. Will the polyfil serve the same purpose? Seems this would be a less expensive method? So do you just tape the fiber around the back of the speaker in order to isolate? Thanks for the insight.
