[QUOTE="Alpine50, post: 5415475, member: 589444"] What has happened is that you have done what I did once....I attempted to try to adjust my amp.If you are not a installer with a GOOD ear and know what happens when one makes an adjustment IE. you try to get more bass by turning adjustments you really know nothing about.Then you turn it up and it sounds "funny",then you figure you will try to turn some more screws to repair what you have now, and have no idea what you have done.I 'm sure this is what you have done.Before I bought my PDX's,w6's and type 'R's,I thought that I would try to 'RE-ADJUST' my amps after my installer spent a good 1/2 an hour or so making it perfect,I figured that I knew more about electronics than he did,after all,I build similar boards.The adjustments on amps are merely potentiometers anyway.............I made my system sound terrible!!!It was fine to begin with..I just wasn't used to it yet or learned that 1/2 of the problems is that when people 'BURN' a CD from another doesn't guarantee a perfect reproduction.Out of 120 or so CD's,I only have a handfull that really do my system justice[**** near perfect]they will blow your mind.Now,I let my pro installer set my amps,I don't fool with them,I have my remote bass adjust knob,sep. bass and treble and of course good old Volume!With your amps set correctly ,that's all you need!!Good Luck..Alpine50...............Happy New Year!!!!!!!!!!!
