    Question about what speakers will work in my setup

    Thanks, So you honestly wouldn't install the c3's in the rear 75w rms speakers, seems like nothing when you look at the Hertz Mille's. Its a pretty big cabin in the accord touring, I'd certainly like to fill it. I could sell or return a few sets of c2's, and resale the c3's on ebay or amazon...

    Setting up JL Audio 12w6 with JL audio JX 500/1

    Can anyone tell me why my head lights stay on for a full minute after I turn my truck off and hit the alarm? After I installed the head unit I seem to have a full minute delay with my head lights and dash lights. If its dark outside my lights automatically turn on, so there is not turning my...

    Setting up JL Audio 12w6 with JL audio JX 500/1

    Is this a good way to set up the amp and head unit? I just read this and was not doing it this way at all. I turned the gain all the way up on my amp and adjusted from the head unit downward. Step 1. Turn any your deck’s bass, trouble, and equalizer setting to flat (center or zero). Turn the...

    how do you make the bass tighter, seems real loose and sloppy with the crossover's set to 50hz.

    Setting up JL Audio 12w6 with JL audio JX 500/1

    I found out earlier in the thread I was wired in parallel since I tested the ohm to the speaker box terminal's and It registered 2 ohms. Anyway if there is anyone with a similar setup, I would love to rack your brain on some settings. I do have a amp setup cd. I will have to figure out how to...

    What kind of Head Unit are you using? What kind of amp are you using? What kind of sub are you using? Would help to ask the right person the right answers.

    Yeah my bass setting goes from -50 to +10. I have it at zero right now, and my gain on the amp up to a little over half. I am testing with all songs that are notorious for heavy bass. Which won't help me in the long run. My head unit has settings to set the sub to the exact size which I did 12"...

    Setting up JL Audio 12w6 with JL audio JX 500/1

    Hey I'm back. I got my return amp 3 days ago the JX 500/1. The only problem was I bought a really cheap wire set and one of the rca's fell apart at the end. So I ordered some streetwires and they dont get here until tomorrow. It's been a long 3 days. With this amp I want to hear really bad and...

    Setting up JL Audio 12w6 with JL audio JX 500/1

    That is exactly what I am doing. PHEW. The bass boost is incredibly strong on this amp. With the gain turned up 3/4 of the way and the bass boost 1/4 of the way. This amp from one side at 250 watts pounds really hard. I am using this weak *** speaker wire, some god awful small gauge wire that...

    Setting up JL Audio 12w6 with JL audio JX 500/1

    Definitely faulty. A real let down. So I had to spend 15 dollars to send it back with insurance and tracking. It doesn't even get back to the destination until the 9th. Then who knows how long it will take to get another one to me. That is the problems with rma's(they take way too **** long)...

    Setting up JL Audio 12w6 with JL audio JX 500/1

    Ok, Kenwood could only do 250w x 2 @ 2ohms. So I just decided to stay at 2 Ohms keep the speaker in the box at parallell and use on channel from the kenwood. So I'm getting 250 watt rms from a single channel and its not bad. It's just teasing the speaker though. And I just pound my hand on the...

    Setting up JL Audio 12w6 with JL audio JX 500/1

    Got the JL Audio JX 500/1 last night, DEAD ON ARRIVAL. It will not power on, just to test everything I pulled out the digital voltmeter. 12.7 v (remote), 14.3 Power Wire. These were tested at the amp. Then I finally pulled the kenwood from the attic. And connected that to my wiring to make sure...

    You broke it down to where it sounded better though. By the way I also found and downloaded this cd: http://www.crutchfield.com/S-B8DKWHBu8sN/p_503CD104/Autosound-2000-Disc-Four.html I am burning it as I type this. Great info: The Nine-Step Procedure 1) Disconnect the subwoofer(s) from the...
