Default After market HU on Rushmore RG?

I think I'm done with the factory unit. Even with the biketronics leveler, I'm not getting the sound I want.

Has anyone switched to a single DIN unit and used a biketronics Retroradio mounting kit on their Rushmore RG? Any pics?


Bonus questions:

1. Any recommendations on a new Bluetooth HU?

I know a lot of guys are running Sony. I'm looking for something with a good EQ.

2. I'm powering my 602's with a CW B2, should I actively be looking to upgrade my amp?

have you tried going back to 1.19.0?

LL247 can help you out, he's changed out his HU for an aftermarket one.

You do know that Daytona and Myrtle last week were both won with Rushmore HU's. I think with a two speaker set up there's some better improvements you can make to you set up than ripping out your HU. Oh and you will typically lose some SQ with bluetooth.

Just trying to help bro!!!
