[QUOTE="fasfocus00, post: 8369818, member: 576857"] the biggest issue you are encountering is a drastic EQ curve from the OEM amp. the LCQ is very limited in the adjustments it can make on an EQ curve. that was a bad choice to start with, the guy that installed it should have stopped you right there. the hardest part about defeating the OEM EQ curve is tuning it to get as close to flat as possible. the BitTen can do it but all the tuning is done by a person, which means lots of labor hours charged. I'd look into a JL Audio CleanSweep DSP that can autotune. I'd personally look into the PS8 from Arc, BitTen from Audison, 360.3 from RF, and the CL-SSI and CL441DSP from JL Audio. you have to defeat the OEM EQ curves and get a full range flat response. I think the "other installer" is closer to being able to figure out the issue but that price tag is a bit much unless he is willing to do the work first but you'd obviously need to show him you're willing to pay for it.
