Chime/Siri Loud After New Amp - Help!

[pjf00]

I recently replaced my non-B&O system with Kickers, a Musway amp and a Stinger sub. Now, when the door chimes or I activate Siri, they are much louder relative to the music. Any ideas on how to lower that volume?

Thanks in advance

Settings?

I use Android, but I imagine it works the same.
I'm not sure about the chime, but when Siri talks, you should have a moment to just turn the volume down. Try to do it while Siri is talking. Wait too long and it turns the radio down instead.
You can probably do it in the settings page somewhere as well.
Others use forscan.

Using navigation also gives you numerous opportunities to adjust the Siri volume.

That helped for Siri! Thanks. But the rest of the system sounds: chime, buttons, back up etc are super loud with the volume low. And the music is super loud at low settings on the volume dial (eg 6 is louder than most would ever want). Lower the gain? A forscan change I can make?

The Forscan change referenced is on the spreadsheet, it's in IPC I think and it routes your chimes to the instrument panel only and gets it out of the sound system

Gain levels should be adjusted based on clipping. So lowering them should not fix your issue unless the amp is clipping (doubtfully as you are at volume 6). I have the same problem and eventually will get to it using the forscan adjustment. I am used to it now.

Okay, thanks for the help. I wish there was a better way, but I guess I’ll do that. It is so loud it is unbearable, and turning the volume down doesn’t help. I am surprised I have not read more about this situation.

Do you have a link to a sheet that has it? I don’t see it on the version I have. Thanks.

There is an Easy Mode setting for it in the IPC, see this post

While you are in there in Forscan, you can add Sport Mode, Baja Mode, Rock Crawl mode etc. the most satisfying is shutting off all the ding-ding-ding sounds and the honking of the horn when you get out with engine running.

yes, thanks!
