      @@volunteeraudio Boom! $17 for the polarity tester was absolutely a fantastic buy! That was really the turning point for what the hell is wrong with my upgraded stereo!
      It turned out the speaker grill removal was a simple, gentle prying around the edge. I’m glad that the Hertz coax both have the narrow spade connectors. The original Harley speaker had a wide spade and a narrow spade and so when I installed the new speakers. I observed the polarity from the old ones. I wonder if they wire them out of phase intentionally to encourage upgrades?

    Bought a MAA4.400 with a pair of Hertz SX165 NEO and SV165 NEO for my Road Glide Limited. Everything was great until I fired it up and heard almost no bass. Quick chat with your guy Scotty, ordered the $17 polarity tester, and all is right now. Easy-peasy. Thanks.

    Hello I think you have this wrong… this how is supposed to be:
    Perfect for safely troubleshooting and testing o systems.
    Play section 1 or 2, can check the left/right channel connection is right or not.
    Play section 3 or 4, the sound speaker will produce a fixed frequency signal.
    Press the 'test' button on the phasemeter, 3 green light flash and 1 red light indicates that the speaker output is in positive phase (correct connection) ;
    3 red light flash and 1 green light indicates that the speaker output is in negative phase (reversed connection).

    • @volunteeraudio
      @volunteeraudio  Před rokem +1

      No, I don’t have it wrong, we want all the speakers in the same phase to get full sound, 3 green and 1 red flash indicates correct polarity or phase but the issue we are addressing will be fixed as long as all the speakers match. You will not hear an audible difference as long as all the speakers are in the same phase or polarity

    Wow jay, I'll admit I was skeptical, But I broke down a spent the $17. Lol I purchased my precision power plug in play kit from You a few months back.. I was totally happy with it until I bought this polarity checker.. Both bag speakers. Wires were backwards , It sounds so much better definitely worth the money.. It's almost like I gained volume, Has way more bass than it did before. 2021 rgs

    LOL, after watching this, I checked my Harley 2020 Ultra. None of the speakers give me 3 reds and a green OR 3 greens and a red! They all do something different (tried all volumes no backgound noise) I get 2 reds a green, 4 reds 2 greens, 1 red 4 greens, No Consistancy between any two speakers…. Now what? Does that mean they are ALL wired incorrectly? If so, does it matter? Does that make them OK?

    Finished my Stage 4 install that I got from Volunteer Audio, Hertz 1000w amp and checked all speakers, they were all “in phase”. I now added the Precision Audio Drop In Subwoofer to the Left Bag. It is “out of phase”. How can I change it? I really do not want to have to reverse the polarity of all the other speakers to match the Sub. That’s like a whole new install AGAIN.
