[QUOTE="Chromatic, post: 8220864, member: 659121"] Roger. Just went back out and listened to it for an hour lol.. Went into the "Q tuning" or whatever it's called.. and made it sound even better.. I must like some serious brightness cause I pushed the "highs/treble" up to +7.. And they were already good. Those JBL's even cutoff at 100hz hit hard on the 6.5" mids.. I had The fugee's killing me softly playing.. and the bass note played throughout the song is around 100hz'ish.. and you could feel those things next to your leg. Almost pushed them to cutoff at 120hz.. but didn't want to lose 20hz between sub at 100 and mids at 120.. (Only was thinking to push them cause I like to "protect" my speakers.. but meh.. they weren't that much if something were to happen to the JBL mids..). Then I went to the Thriller album by Michael Jackson.. and played Beat it and Billie Jean (lol...) -- and it sounds like I've never heard it before.. all sorts of noises I don't remember.. like being in a movie or something. Yes.. I'm thoroughly impressed with how this turned out. Last time I sat in my car (not moving) just to listen to music was 10 years ago or more.. As I'm typing this I can feel my ears .. lol. I guess that's the highs people talk about giving them a headache or something. But.. I had it cranked a bit.. I guess we do have to be careful with these sound systems.. you will lose hearing if you have it cranked for years on end no matter your age. I put a CD in last.. and wow.. sounded even cleaner. This time the car didn't shock me once.. shrug. But the whine is still there.. just barely though.. can't hear it when music is on at all.. but it's slightly audible when I have volume down to zero and I rev the engine. Not a big deal to me.. I know I can throw a ground loop eliminator in line and get rid of that without having to trace it down.. done it a few times with home stereo systems. I may even have one here somewhere,.. But not sure where I'd put it (as the one I have is RCA to RCA).. and this thing is fed 3 pairs.. hrmm. Anyhow,.. Whine can be many different things I know.. from antenna, bad ground,.. exposed wire somewhere to Power wire interfering with RCA's.. Though I can't really spread out my power wire and rca's by the amp any more. [/QUOTE]
