Ok after I talked to Wayne and got all the adjustments made OMFG
This system rocks !!! Its hard to even turn it over half way on volume its so loud!!
when I first turned it on I wasnt impressed at all, then I found out the adjustments were turned all the way down!!!!
So I made 2 videos 1st is my buddies 2012 bone stock Ultra
Now I have to say these videos does ot give it any justice at all
but in person it is night and day difference
So both videos are the same CD and the radio at 6 bars on volumn
WEll hell I cant get the videos to load !!! May be to big !!
Ill try again tommorow

Did you buy your system from Wayne??
So what were your adjustments.. Just curious. Reading the instructions from ARC it was talking about taking off the top, but I didn't unscrew the lid, I just used gain adjustments.

You can adjust the BX setting by taking off the lid, the idea is that it gives you a little bump in the lower mid-bass frequencies, which are audible... This gives the 'illusion' of better bass response from smaller speakers. They have the Q (frequency center / bandwidth) of this set as such that it works well with components / coaxials and I find it does work a little better than the bass setting in the head unit.

Yes, there is an update to the KS125.2, it is the KS125.1BX.. Which has the bass eq module that you adjust by taking the lid off.

Mine has a bx2 switch on top and a bass boost button on top that you adjust with a small screw driver
