[QUOTE="Chromatic, post: 8220837, member: 659121"] I set the Sub level to +10 as well [IMG]//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif[/IMG] Good call on the headunit... It's nice, can't decide If I want to leave it on default where the colors rotate or just dial the colors into the amber to match the rest of the car.. hence the picture where it's on a reddish color. As far as setting gains to max.. From all I've learned here and elsewhere.. I was under the impression you want to set your gains to match the voltage that equates the rated "RMS" of the speakers you are pushing so you don't mess them up. Pushing my gains to 100% would be pushing more power.. and would cause distortion and clipping as I cranked the volume no? I dialed this in at Volume 27 of 35.. which is about 77% volume.. I feel like I can push the sub harder with the amp .. When I pushed that level up to 10 it really helped of course.. but this sub has a lot left in it.. however, I don't really need nor want more. This is already insane lol.. These JBL's are now absolutely screaming.. the JBL's do sound better on this Headunit, shrug. The MBQuarts I did have to fade up to 60-80% to front of course.. as they are just crazy loud and high quality.. they overpower the JBL's. But, I'm glad to get a better tone, and it's actually brighter with this headunit for whatever reason out of the JBL's. For now I've set the X-over's on the Fronts and Rears at 100hz.. and Sub at 100hz. Considering I listen to Rock/Alternative mostly.. it sounded good to my ears. Didn't hear vocals or anything coming through sub at 100hz crossover (of course I have the amp set as well.. so it's probably actually getting cut off somewhere around 80-85hz from amp.. so the headunit sub X-over is just a redundant "backup" if you will for the sub.
