[QUOTE="Betelgeuse, post: 8741540, member: 680503"] I hooked it up yesterday evening right before it got dark. Haven't yet set the gain or LFP properly yet. I just wanted to verify my wiring was correct and that the amp worked. The spider seemed pretty stiff out of the box compared to what I remember of my JL 10w0's and 15w0's. I'm hoping it loosens up and gets louder. As of now, I'm underwhelmed. It does fill in the missing bottom end, but the output is not that great. I did increase the gain a little bit to get the sub moving, but dialed it back down until I can set it properly. Other than the Demon, I have a Taramps 400x4 bridged to 2 channels (200x2) to push my Polk MM1 6.5" component set. I used a multimeter and math to dial down that amp to what I believe is 125 watts. It gets pretty loud. By the time I turn up the volume to get the sub moving, my ears are bleeding from the tweeters. I have them dialed down as far as they go on the crossover, and I had them attenuated a little bit on the head unit. Disconnecting the batter to install the sub amp reset my HU settings, so maybe after I get everything re-calibrated, I'll be happier with the demon. The locking, steel glove box idea worked. Amp fits in there nicely. It was a major PIA to install, but it works. I'm going to tinker with everything over the weekend and see where I am. [/QUOTE]
