If you have + to + and - to - on the R/F, R/R, L/R and L/R speakers and you have the crossover, there isn't anything to "tweak". Everyone's ear is different. There is no magic formula with audio in an outdoor environment and especially on a Motorcycle. So, unless you have something wired backwards causing the speakers to be "out of phase", you just might have speakers that don't suit your ears...

Well, actually, there is. Really large drivers (15" or larger) and a LOT of power (oh, say, 50,000 watts or so).

And of course, UN beat me to it! LOL...

man I'll tell ya.. my back was out of phase last night after spending 2 hours putting on a Fullsac (yep.. not a halfsac) sportpipe and a set of Rinehart 4".. Man what a difference from that damn D&D 2:1 setup.. Very nice low throaty tone and now I'll really be able to hear what my system sounds like at 80MPH.

UN, I opened the faring up again last night and double checked my wiring. They are wired correct. I turned the AVC down and turned the base down to 3 bars and they sound better (not as muffled) but still are lacking in volume. I have run to them in the upper range 5/8 to 3/4 full to hear them as well as the Jbls at 1/2 full range. They do have a rich and full sound at low volume but, don't handle the volume well. Maybe I am expecting too much. Looks like I will be purchacing an SS 2.350 in the very near future.

Where did you obtain the speakers from? These speakers should sound pretty damn good on nothing more than a stock head unit so if they don't and you're absolutely sure your wiring is correct, I think I'd be looking at getting the seller to replace them for you.

As my luck runs these were bought used still in unopened box. The seller told me he bought them for his Jeep but sold it before they were installed. He did say he bought them about a year ago. I will see if I can contact him. Thanks
