    How should I go about setting my amp gains (and other settings)

    I was told that resetting my amp gain would get rid of a lot of the static I've been hearing. I have a hifonics titan and there are more knobs than I expected There is: level - bass EQ - HPF - LPF Also there is two of each, for the front and the rear speakers I am guessing. I've seen a few...

    Ah, there isn't a knob to the tweeters on the amp. There are however, two little.... "doohickies" that have a three way switch on each that is for the focals. It's not labelled though.

    Hearing alot of gain/static with new setup.

    I've been having this problem for a while now. I believe it started once I had my amp installed. It's been driving me crazy! But anyways I've been gradually installing my set up over the past few months. I finally finished it off yesterday by putting in a subwoofer. I thought that might fix the...

    Pioneer DEH-6100bt vs. Alpine CDE-102

    Hey guys, I just recently had a system overhaul on my car. New amp, new speakers, etc. I've been using an old Clarion stereo but I think it's about to die soon. There's been a lot of static lately. And two audio stores both attributed it to my head unit. So I pretty much decided to upgrade to a...

    Just had some FOCAL 165 a1's installed (They sound like crap!)

    Ah thanks! I'll take it back to them when I get out of work today. Man I'm starting to hate these guys...!

    Oh yes. I have also realized that the back right speaker is almost totally dead. I moved the sound all to the back and all to the right to test it out. And it barely makes a whimper. The other three are fine. Are the focals so power hungry that the deck can only output to three speakers? Or did...

    Ah, sorry for my absence. Was so angry about the speaker thing I just had to get some sleep to cool off. The reason why it was a little more pricey was that I had some dynamat installed with them. Was an extra 90 for that. A new deck....? Well I had a old clarion CD player installed a couple...

    Which amp would you suggest for the focals? I'm willing to spend 100-200 on one.

    What do you guys suggest I do? Just **** it up and buy an aftermarket amp or complain to them and make them put my monsoon back in? I want to hear their reasons for ripping out the amp. Why in the world would they need to do that?

    I just had a front and rear set of these focal speakers installed in my VW. It had a monsoon amplifier in it, but car toys said they had to bypass the amp and take it out in order to put the new focal's in. The sound was pretty decent but now it seems I've taken a step backwards. I spent 800 to...
