    Default Any way to fade volume on F3 Ltd Rear Speakers?

    They're assembling my 2016 F3 Limited & adding the topcap/backrest. I can either get the rear speakers & amp or not. When I test drove a 2017 F3 Limited I didn't find a way to fade the speakers front to back like I can on my 2012 RT Limited. The output of those back speakers was incredibly weak.

    Did I miss a setting or did BRP actually leave this out on this audio system??

    I think that there's a software update that goes along with the installation; check with your dealer.

    Thanks for the thoughts. Dealer is having trouble getting an answer from BRP. We'll find out this morning....

    Have a Sena 20 in my helmet so I can bluetooth it. May be a better option with the increased wind noise going from RT to F3

    Just bought a 2016 F3 limited, did the speaker upgrade, and have the same problem. For the rear speakers to function with any match to the front you have turn the volume up incredibly loud. By the way my dealer says they did perform the software upgrade and it did not fix this problem. If there is anyone out whom has found a fix please share. Thx

    Since my prior post on this issue I have resolved my problem. I used a combination of a Raptor adjustable line output converter along with LP 838 2 channel adjustable amplifier,and some harness changes. It took a few variations to make it work but here's the final configuration that worked perfectly for me. I left the 2 channel Can Am N Touch amplifier in place and rerouted its speaker output to the input of the adjustable line output converter. Next I ran the output of the converter to the input of my 2 channel adjustable amp. Any 2 channel amp would probably work as long as it has adjustable volume, bass, and treble controls. After that the output of the added 2 channel is run directly to the speakers. It works beautifully although I ended up having to place the amplifier inside the top case cause of the limited space housing the radio control and original amp though I did find space for the converter directly behind the Can Am N Touch amp.

    I'm having the same issue on my 2016 Spyder F3 Limited. Mine isn't bluetooth equipped but does have the auxiliary hookup. I do have a Bluetooth dongle hooked up to play my music from my Galaxy Phone thru Spotify. But my rear speakers will not work. I have no balance or fade option as well. I have no issues with all 6 speakers in my car and my husband's Harley ('09) doesn't have an issue with all 4 speakers. IDK what else to do.

    I just happened upon the post ..... I have a 14 RT and fixed the BAD sound issue with replacing all four speakers with JBL 2 OHM speakers .... 2 OHM is hard to find now but they do have 3 OHM models that would fit ..... I changed the rear 4" speakers with 5.25" size, the interior hole needs to be enlarged a little to do this (not difficult using a DREMEL or similar tool .... The OEM AMP works fine with lower OHM speakers ...mine is still OEM ..... Mike
