New system installed… maybe my expectations are too high?

[QUOTE="EricF, post: 8922466, member: 682238"] Thanks for the quick reply. I thought the bass boost and gain was a touch high but wouldn’t turning the bass boost to 0 and dialing the gain back a touch hurt the bass even more? Also isn’t the external bass remote tied to the bass boost? I made sure the head unit was all at 0 gain across the board. The issue is I don’t want the mids/highs screaming in my ears just to get bass. I could get the wipers to move on my last set up at half volume. They used 4 gauge wiring for the subs. I had 0 for the 4 8’s I use to have. As for the box, there isn’t many options for these trucks unless you have a custom one made. I got quotes from 4 different shops and they all wanted $2000 minimum. I figured this box was perfect for the CompR as it looks like it’s happy in a pretty wide box configuration (1.75-2.25cuft per sub). I can’t find what the box is tuned to but I’d imagine it’s in the 30-35hz range. [/QUOTE]
