I recently had a Pioneer head-unit installed in my car (2013 Volkswagen GTI) about two months ago, model AVH-X3800BHS. It was done for me professionally as I don't have the knowledge to. A few weeks ago, I got into my car to head to the store, and started the car, but the head unit was...

Thanks for the offer man and sorry for the rant before. I just got it tuned from a guy I know that works as a mechanic at geeksquad for free, actually, it sounds so much louder now and I think i'm going to keep it like this, the way I like it. Hopefully I'm not clipping them or anything but my...

God this forum is awful, it takes a whole day to get help when theres over 1,600 people online right now??! bye haha..

This has to be the most stressful situation I've ever gone through. None of this makes any sense and even though I've just bought a DMM and am following instructions on how to set my gain the light on my AMP is turning red, and I'm not sure what any of the 20 wires connected in my amp are for...

Ok that makes more sense. I'm gonna go to Radioshack and buy one tomorrow.I don't want to pay too much for one. Also, you said turn the bass EQ off, what's the LP filter and what do I do with that??

I read this about 7 times and I'm trying my best to understand it. 1. Buy a cheap DMM (all multimeters look different and have different specifications, which the hell one do I buy?) 2. Unhook speaker wire from amp (and which one is that??) 3. Download a 50hz sine wave (how do I know if what...

Then I guess i'll just leave my settings alone..... I have no experience on how to use a reader and i'll probably mess something up. They're fine how they play right now, no distortion at all right out of the box. I just wanted to see if there was anything I could do to safely tune it for the...

Thanks for the reply. I will do what you said and try to listen for distortion while adjusting my gain. And yes, I'm doing it all by ear, with no experience. What do you mean "turn your head unit volume where you want your highs at"? I listen to mostly dance/dubstep/rap genre so I'm trying to...

Here's what my mrv-m500's settings look like right now: I just got this JL sub enclosure and I'm gonna need help maximizing my bass loudness. I had a Polk Audio 12" hooked up to this amp before I got the new subs Thanks

I was about to buy these and wanted to see if anyone has them? I was searching for a dual 12" enclosure with a ported box to pair with my 500W alpine and this seems more sufficient for what I want. so does anyone have them? PUNCH Loaded Enclosures - P1-2X12 - Rockford Fosgate®

Nevermind. *please delete*

I did some more snooping around and found these: JL Audio CP212-W0v3 (CP212W0v3) Dual 12" Loaded Ported Enclosure They're JL and they're also ported. Its a trusted company what are your thoughts?

It looks like boston acoustics isnt even making car subs anymore. I think I'm going to go with the MTX RTL12X2D 1000W Max, Dual 12" RTL Series Loaded Sub Enclosure

Ok, what do you mean by "lost"?

Would they sound maybe twice as loud as my one 12" I have now?
