[QUOTE="Dem1k, post: 1102766, member: 562312"] Hey guys...I posted in the installation forums when I was getting my system installed, however I feel that now that it's installed, my questions should be moved over to this part of the boards. Anyways, I ended up getting the system (JL 12W6v2 & JL 500/1) installed for $75, and $200 for a custom built box, and a bass knob for $40 installed. On top of that, I had an Optima Yellow Top installed for $200 because my battery was pretty much dead, and the system ACTUALLY put it to rest. However, now I need alot of your guys help. Also note that my system is setup running off the stock HU as well. Do any of you that have a 500/1 want to share with me what you have for your settings on the back? Like the Infrasonic Filter, Gain (Inp. Sens.), Amp LP Filter, etc etc.... I just want to make sure that the settings on my amp are ok so that I don't jack up the sub, and also so that I have it at it's optimum settings.
