#Cycle sounds magic box full

oh and the volume I run going down the Interstate I have it set bars before being full volume. when I get the lids I do plan on running the magicbox for the rear, and when I set it up I plan on running the pods off of the line out before the Magicbox, just to get alittle sound out of them, I dont always run the tourpack so I am not to concerned about the sound out of the pods. so in my opinion I think the Magicbox does what is supposed to. I plan on putting the Saddlebag lids in the winter and I am torn between the Hertz ecx 570, or the Biketronics 5x7 speakers, the price is the difference. I have a tour pack on the bike and I am running the stage 1 boom speakers in there, they sound good, but I dont sit on the rear seat, so the wife said that it sounds really good for her. when I set the sensitivity, I had the Bass and treble at 50%. On my amp, I have input sensitivity set to 50%, and the crossover to just under straight up and down. I am running the Magic box with my system, I am using the Diamond Micro4v2 amp and HCX speakers in my 15 RGS, as stated earlier, dpending on the out put of the song that you are using, this will determine the best sound. I promise you, there will be more boom for your buck this way! Once you've attacked these two areas successfully, then do some research on this forum and decide how much you want to spend for your stereo system. The stock RGS windshield looks cool, but sucks for riding and music. The top of the windshield should be somewhere between the tip of your nose and the top of your nose, depending on the characteristics of the windshield, while sitting upright in riding position. This gives your aftermarket amp a clean signal to amplify, resulting in a much more clear sounding stereo assuming your speakers are quality.ДЇind a seat you're gonna do the majority of your riding with.ДЇind a properly fitted windshield. That's what's happening when you use high level(speaker line) outputs from your head unit to your aftermarket amp.ДЄ line level converter or 'magic box' takes the amplified signal and strips the distortion and amplification from it. Think about how an old vinyl record sounded with the static and such. HD will not put preouts on their head units. The signal is sent out BEFORE the head unit amplifies it. This is the problem that having RCA (pre out) jacks on your head unit solves. Also, if you take that crappy signal and send it in to an aftermarket amp that's pumping 100w/ch, you're reamplifying a signal with all of the crap still attached to it. So if you have a crappy source, or are planning crappy quality music to start with, it's gonna sound like amplified crap coming out. Just like any amplifier, it amplifies EVERYTHING that comes through it and sends it to the speakers. The stock head unit already has an internal amplifier. Then like any other problem, you come up with a plan to solve it. When you talk about the 'crap' coming out of the stock head unit at speed, it helps to know how it works and what that 'crap' is.
