Well I think the reason is this!!
I can not even turn the volume over half way without it hurting my ears so if you have the AVC up to say 3-4 and your volume is allready say 4-5 its will get extremly loud at
45mph!

I really think if you have it at 1-2 it may be ok!!
PS I have not rode my bike since I put this system on so Ill hve to see !!

piesik650.....that's quite a creative 4-channel audio set up you've got there. Looks much cheaper/easier than the bag-lid set up too. If I ever upgrade from a 2-channel to a 4-channel amp, I may copy-cat you.

I recently saw a Hog Tunes factory video where the guy said to set the AVC to (3) bars.

I really don't remember, but now you've got me curious. I'll have to take a look at it tomorrow and see.

Most MFG's will have you turn off AVC because the distortion will blow your speakers.

With the proper equipment,...................AVC would not be a problem.

There are adjustments that can be made to 'dial it in' to your liking.

Thanks for all the advice and ideas. As a few of you suggested I spoke with Wayne. Good guy who knows his stuff.

Anyhow, I'm 99% sure that I'm going to go with Arc Audio's MPAC 6. This setup sounds like it is exactly what I am looking for. Before I pull the trigger, if anyone has any reviews on this kit I would welcome hearing your experience.
