[QUOTE="HiAmplidude, post: 1204822, member: 561470"] I currently have a 8445. Not sure why you'd have trouble tuning. There aren't many adjustments it can make (for a high-end HU). One thing's for sure -- the Eclipse owner's manuals are quite easily the most well-done manuals for any electronic component I have ever seen. You should take a flip through the few pages of tuning and see if that helps. Generally, you just plug in your vehicle type and it "decides" for you (alignment). X-over slopes and ranges are a little different. It selects a good one by default, but if you decide to adjust it, you're in luck 'cuz the low pass and high-pass are adjusted together (blech! for tweakers but yay for someone who doesn't want to fiddle too much). As for SRS and ANY other digitally-enhanced sound garbage it's capable of mutilating your music with, I found that, all are horribly unnatural sounding and exaggerated. Leave them off. After about an hour of initial tuning (20 minutes if you're familiar with the unit), you should, no joke, have one of the nicest sounding decks on the market there. [/QUOTE]
