lmao, that thread was posted October 14 2013. If you look hard enough or ask enough people, eventually you'll get the answer you're looking for Bruce. Flashes are different now, some are not available, some dealers will tell you they can do it and still screw it up. Whatever you do, we'll be here to help but not many folks are using Boom Audio for high performance audio for a good reason.

Exactly. The sled audio game has changed 10X since this thread. It was a very good starter thread though!!

Default BT Line Levelers

So I now have the LL installed. Do I need to turn on the adjusters? What are they going to do, when I do? Should the bike be running or not?
Is this the right thread, or ?

If you have the Biketronics BT355 Lineleveler do not touch the adjustments on that piece!!!!

You need to post a thread in the audio section of what components you have in your system
ie : amp, speakers,head unit and year of bike and you will find the help you are needing

Question enclosure mods

I'm looking/wondering, where I saw the posts about holes drilled in to the pods for bass response. A, does anyone remember what post numbers these are, and B, did anyone ever further research this idea of "advanced porting" of the speaker pods?
Biketronics 2180 and Arc Audio installed.

Beamer leave the adjustment on the LL alone.
If you try to adjust them it will act as if they are not even there. If you go tweeking on them you will defeat the purpose of using them and they are hyper sensitive to movement of the adjustment pods

Not so much porting as it is venting. 3" hole with polyfil loosely filled in the pod.

I know Dynamat is popular in the front fairing - but has anyone thought about doubling it's thickness and seeing if it improves the results?

How does this compare to getting the $250 BT speaker brackets?
