Hey folks, leaving tomorrow for a week-long road trip and my radio is acting up.

With the volume low, it sounds a little tinny and as I increase the volume, somewhere near the half-way point it, I'll bump the volume one more tick and the volume suddenly increases substantially and the bass kicks in, almost like turning on Loudness on other radios. There's doesn't seem to be anything random about it; it happens at the same volume level - within a tick or two - every time.

Also, I can't adjust the bass at all: The display indicates the bass is full-on, and I'm not able to lower it.

I know it's a long shot that I'll be able to solve this before I go, but who knows... any body else experienc this or know the cause?

 

Not sure if I can help but it helps to know what bike your asking for help on.

 

Sorry, it's the one pictured and identified at the bottom of my posts: A 2000 Ultra Classic FLHTCUI

 

Also what HU, amp and speakers? It always helps us to know what components you have in the bike! Thanks

 

Sorry bro but there's several ways of viewing this forum and most of them do not show your signature at the bottom.
As Gannicus stated we also need to know the rest of the audio components...stock or otherwise.

 

Yeah, hadn't thought about - thanks for the reminder; I usually post that info first off.

The sounds system is bone stock.

I'm thinking this thing is probably toast, and if that means repair / replace then I'll replace it with something more modern. Are there a few go-to configurations that people upgrade to? I'm not concerned about mad, bumpin' power, just a quality, reliable system with modern features like Bluetooth capability. It'd be nice to have a GPS display, but its a single DIN (I think that's the right lingo?) system so I doubt there's any way to do that. Probably better asked in a separate post, after searching for the answer here?

 

Ain't gonna solve it before tomorrow bro! Check with us when you get back. I'd say it's time to upgrade that system. SB and myself will be here.
