[QUOTE="velko, post: 538860, member: 555848"] My install cost $385 - correction. Awright - so I went in there and spoke to the owner. The first thing I said is there is no Dynamat - he pried open the door and showed me the Dyna - it wasn't across the whole surface of the door - it was just around the speaker hole. He said he charges $280 to Dynamat the whole door - sounds pretty f-in steep to me! I wasn't gonna argue with the dude. As for the whine, he turned both gains down to about 25% - he said the amp (which is in the trunk) was so far away that it would always pick up noise. Now, with the gains set at 25% there is no accelerator whine - but then that affects my volume, correct?! I wasn't gonna argue, I was very nice about it. He said the ground was under the back seat - that it was fine and I said can you move the ground, he said there was no reason to and that there was only one ground place for the HU. I didn't have the time or bloodpressure to start arguing because I didn't want to start going off - I have a VERY short fuse when it comes to this bullshit. So, what I'll wind up doing is going to a REAL place - maybe I'll try to fix it myself. [/QUOTE]
