[QUOTE="onefastsi, post: 3071455, member: 577070"] Day 3: Ok...so I'm on Day 3 of the install. I downloaded a Marilyn Manson CD on iTunes and was listening to that today on the way home. Wow! some serious bass! The front stage is a bit bright, but that's due to the CDT Upstage kit being set on HIGH, as opposed to "LOW" that it was last month. I need to change that. I was messing around, and it's a bit more pronounced now that I'd got some serious head unit playing. I turned up the front gains a bit, about 1/3, to keep up with the lack of voltage. I was almost at Peak volume on the Alpine to get it the same sound as my old Rockford. I'm calling Alpine and the local shop on the processor bit we've been talking about. For the cost of the control unit, it might not be a bad idea. Found it CHEAP online! I'll see what the boys at Auto Sound and Security have to say. I did notice another MAJOR change in the sound. The bass sounds like it's coming from up front now! Really, it's weird. I had a distinct "rear" bass sound before, you knew the subs were behind you. now? It's all right there. Not sure if it's because of the gain in midbass up front, which is extreme vs. what it was, or the unit itself? Very nice however it works. Oh, and I fixed the annoying offset center dial. I just turned it and it 'clicked' into place...phew, that was annoying! [/QUOTE]
