[QUOTE="npcout, post: 8307276, member: 564702"] Okay, so I got the car back today.. to be completely honest, I'm not really impressed with the sound. Maybe I was expecting to much? I'm hearing parts to songs I've never heard before, mainly in the introduction part of the song, but it just doesn't sound "Musical." It sounds clear, no distortion. Hard to describe, it sounds flat, like the song sounds more like a speech, rather than a musical performance. Is logic 7 suppose to be on? I don't quite understand what that is. Also, they told me my 4 channel amp, all settings are off, there is no HPF or LPF, the ms-8 controls all of that so the settings are off on the amp. Does that sound correct? I have a TC EPIC 10, tuned to 30. In my previous car, this thing pounds and sounds LOW and DEEP. It sounds much worse now, almost like higher pitched. Its not hitting low and hard.. I'm playing the same type of music, it just sounds like its not dropping low and deep. I may have to play with the gains and all.. My old car with pioneer headunit, with my jensen amp and alpine speakers, and hifonics sub amp.. sounded WAY better and more clear with more power than this JBL MS-8/MS500x1/MS100X4 setup. Im sure something is off in the tuning, gains,etc. Either that, or I expected to much and have somewhat forgotten what my previous system truly sounded like as its been 2-3 months. [/QUOTE]
