Autopilot KFC-150 Aural alerted box (kaa-15) location

[Rmnpilot]

I recently updated my audio panel and with the update, my kfc-150 aural alert is significantly louder than before.   From what I can see on the internet, there is an adustment screw for volume, but I don’t know where the box physically is in the bravo.   Has anyone messed with this?   I would rather not pull the glareshield if I dont have to but I am guessing it’s behind that.  Thoughts?

It has to be behind the panel. It's not in the tail by the batteries for sure. Hopefully they left the unit exposing that hole where the screw adjustment is, so you don't have to practically remove the unit to make the adjustment.

What alert is the KFC-150 capable of other than the self-test beeps?

[Rmnpilot]

It’s the self test beeps and the solid tone when you disable the autopilot, however there is a volume adjustment that can be changed.  I have been too busy with work travels to mess with it.

The beeps originate from a Sonalert located near the speaker.

The KAA-15 generates the signal sent to the sonalert. There's a potentiometer on the KAA-15 that determines the strength of the signal sent, and raises or lowers the volume accordingly.

The KAA-15 in my airplane is located in the tail behind the baggage area.
