[QUOTE="LsGuy, post: 8733881, member: 681035"] Couple weeks since my last update, since I haven't had any time off of work to get more done. I have been listening to it and tuning. Front stage tuning is nearly there. Overall it sounds excellent, but still a bit of minor tweaking to do. For instance, there's a certain frequency in Mariah Brinks voice that either my mids or tweets to not like. I have to dial back the volume a couple of notches for her music or I hear a little bit of distorted/static like sound from the dash. Still searching for that to dial it back a bit. Subs. The subs have plenty of out put. On some music they sound excellent, and on some they just muddy things up. For instance, anything hip hop or electronic they are great. Some rock they are even awesome, for instance Scream by A7X sounds incredible, however I do believe the bass in that song is electronically enhanced. On the flip side, anything by Slipknot for example is basically unplayable. I end up almost muting the subs for most non enhanced bass metal. Tuning has helped, but I still can't get it exactly where I want. Some bass notes for instance drone loud, and sometimes when I expect there to be some bass in a song it's absent. I think that I'm going to mess around with running 4 of these drivers sealed instead of the 2 ported to see if I can find what I like there. This looks like it's going to be a bit of trial and error to get the lows dialed in exactly where I want them. I am very picky about how my music sounds unfortunately. Luckily the drivers and amps are cheap for my setup, I can grab a second kicker and 2 more subs for ~$360 plus tax, that'll give me more room to experiment. I do hope my electrical is up to the task, as that will push me to 2400-2500 total system RMS. There has been some discussion as of late to what you can really push on stock electrical in these new jeeps, so I'll report back and let you guys know whether or not it likes running that much power stock. I have considered the big 3, but I'll have to do some inquiry on how to go about that since this vehicle comes factory with 2 batteries an alternator and a generator. [/QUOTE]
