Need Help! - post-installation

[mvan]

New to this forum, so I hope I am in the right section. I just got my system that was in a previous car installed in my new car(08 Accord). I have 2 JL 10's and a MTX amp. I never had any problems with it in my old car. After the installation, I noticed I was getting a different deeper bass while my radio was playing. I turned off the radio and my speakers were still projecting bass! LOL. It was annoying. I took it back to the install bay and 3 installers could not figure it out. They tried different amps, new wires, and a new converter. The only work around they could provide is lowering the gain on the converter, but my system sounds weak as hell now. Can anyone help? Any input is appreciated.

Woot! I got it fixed...

I took it to another audio shop and they told me it was a new problem that happens to 2008 vehicles. Some 2008 vehicles come with an ambience mic, which reduces engine noise. My car has 2 and when they hooked up my system, the amp pushed out the engine noise. So when my engine was idling or my RPM increased, you would hear bass. They just unplugged the mics and it was back to normal. I hope this helps others.
