As for the HPF settings, those will have lines on them that the arrows should point to.
Agree with Bert in that u should be running full pass on your amp with the LL set properly. And if u do want a touch more of the low freqs in, u can ever so slightly adjust the LL HPF to do so. And when I say ever so slightly I'm talking a hair at a time as they are very sensitive and bad sound can happen fast.
Dynamat & FAST baffles will also warm things up if ur using the BT Fairing Brackets.

It's been a while so I'll have to look at the line levelers again but o believe it's the two gains on the end that I adjusted.

Yes the gain setting are on the end of the LL. I was thinking you were talking about the HPF. Thanks for bringing that up T! Either way changing the Gains also changes the HPF voltage. Maybe tesnevo can help you get them set back to default.

It's an additional little detail u can use to warm up a speaker just a tad. It's 2 foam rings and also a cap that u install around the speaker cage and magnet.

Thanks buddy. And thanks for the pics. Is that something I buy (if so, where? ) or something I build?

Ok switched the amp back to flat. The gains were set pretty much dead on 24.49 before I touched the line levelers, so I set everything to run the test tone. Fired the bike up and then adjusted the line levelers gains back to 24.49 on each side. I took a picture of the gains as they came and where they are at now looks identical. I pulled the test tone and hooked the speakers back up. Put the fairing back, fired the bike up and turned it up. It seems to sound quite a bit better. There's a lot more lows and mids it seems. I shut it off and left the stereo playing. There is still more bass without it running but doesn't seem to be as much of a difference. I'll need to get it out on the road to tell for sure though.
Now for the software update. I got it downloaded to my laptop but it won't transfer to a thumb drive. Not sure what to do there
