6. Important Installation Notes
When first listening to your system, you will need to
adjust the levels
and/or EQ on your audio device
as well as
the amplifier gain level. We
recommend starting
the gain
at
a
low
level
and slowly turn
ing
it up until you reach optimal sound quality.
The
amp crossover switch
should always be at H (more volume, less bass) or Off (more bass, less volume) setting.
Are you using a phone charger or s
atellite
r
adio
?
If after installation you receive a whining
/feedback
sound in your speakers, call or email us to request a free ground loop isolator.
Audio Source Equalizer Adjustments & Sound Files
It is important to choose a quality device to use while riding to get the best sound
out of your speakers. Most modern mp3 players and smartphones
work great
, but you may want to make a few equalizer adjustments as well.
Generally, settings for
'
rock
'
or
'
standard
'
setting
work well depending on the type of music
playing
, but we recommend you try them all
The quality of the audio files matter too! This is not generally a problem with
modern digital music sources (MP3,
Pandora, Spotify, iTunes
, etc.),
but sometimes comes into
play if low quality audio files
are being used
. If you are having problems with
sound clarity this could be a factor.
Always get your music from a reliable and trustworthy source (such as Amazon, Google Play or iTunes)
Keep the amplifier input (headphone jack) from touching any bare metal when there is no device plugged into the jack or you may get static or
popping through the speakers when the bike is on.
**IMPORTANT: Make sure the speakers, amplifier and any wires or other components will not interfere with your steering, gauges, line of sight, or
anything else that could affect or inhibit your driving ability or vehicle operation and that all wires are away from hot engine/pipe areas, and that
everything is secured to your vehicle.
