audio uprade

[vtom1800]

Was wondering what the best bang for the buck is on an audio upgrade? Have gotten old and just don't hear as good as I used to. Music simply doesn't sound right on the trike. Sounds ok inside a vehicle. 2012 Goldwing 1800 with a CSC kit on it. Got back the end of June from a little trip. 7,236 miles. Thanks for any info.

Maybe it is not the system - rather the music itself.

By this, let me ask - is the music on a flash drive and is it say, MP3? If so, look in the app store for a program names MP3 gain.

Open the drive with the music, apply MP3 gain and increase the volume. In addition, you can set the level for all of your songs - this way, one will not play louder than the rest.

Hope this helps.

Yes it's on a usb and in mp3 format. I'll try that and see how it does. Thanks

Are you listening through the speakers are the headsets, with all the outside noises I have to use the headsets unless I'm sitting still or going slow.

Through the speakers.

Try it through the headsets to see if that makes a difference, and also usb drives are fairly cheep give a different one a try, I have mine saved on my computer just incase something happen to the usb drive it would be a simple down load to a new drive, let us know what you figure out it may help someone else.

Head sets don't sound to good either. Put a bluetooth adapter along with mini amp and sounds better running bluetooth off the phone. Thanks everyone.

Some of my customer's say that the best sound on a Wing is listing via bluetooth to earPods.

One thing I know is that the range of my Silverado speakers is vastly better than the range on my GL1800. And like you, I have found the sound is much better in the Silverado because of this. On both, I use my phone to connect and play either stored MP3 tunes or Pandora. On the trike, I have music playing through Bluetooth using a J&M device. I will use a custom equalizer setting under the phone's sound settings and completely turn down the lowest bass (63hz) as well as the highest treble (16khz). The speakers just can't handle these frequencies well and will affect the sound quality. The GL1800 only does a generic bass level adjustment and treble adjustment. Using an external equalizer like I do in my phone will help eliminate frequencies that the speakers just can't handle and sound quality is better. Not perfect, but greatly improved.
