Chris and i installed my amp and subs today! we've never installed anything like that before so it was kinda scary not having done it before, or not having anyone there to guide us, but we got it done and it sounds great! i am sooooo happy!

woo woo! :) yeah i surprised myself... :)

they sound good but i think we need an eq or something. since she didnt have sub preouts we just used the front set and set the amp to LOW or whatever.

maybe at the meet we will have people that know what they are doing who can tune it for us!

Aweosome chris! You have to start somewhere!

However, you can fade out the subs with the fader on the unit. :D Make sure the gain is 3/4 or so. Ya, keep it on low pass :) What's the specs of the amp and sub?


If the amp is 2 ohm stable, and the subs have Dual voicecoils, you can bump up the power by rewiring the subs :D That is, if you have two :P
