adjusting your systeM-please read!
In order to make this new system perform as well as it was designed, please
take a minute to understand and follow these tips:
1) Set this “Automatic Volume Control” (AVC) to 3 bars. After extensive
on-road testing, we found that this AVC position works and sounds best.
This new amplifier has been specifically set-up for this radio setting.
2) This 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 this 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 there is an aftermarket car radio on your bike, its functions will work
fine. 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.
These are all designed for a quiet environment and all of which will hurt
the 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 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 possible. The article is at:
