[QUOTE="velko, post: 538880, member: 555848"] Dudes - I appreciate the feedback but to me, honestly, it ain't worth the time to deal with this joker - he did the hard part of the install. It really isn't worth it to me to go and battle it out because I wouldn't trust him to fix it properly at all. There's so much other bullshit I have to deal with that it isn't worth the trouble. Lesson learned - if it smells like shit it must be shit. Now the other issue - on my amp he set the fronts to high pass instead of full - why? Because I alerted him to the fact that on the front Infinity comps there is a jumper setting for CONTOUR or FLAT and I told him set it to flat. In the Infinity manual it says that CONTOUR takes out some of the midrange (I don't know why you'd wanna do that) and I didn't wanna have the midrange reduced. So I set the switch on the amp to full and he said you didn't wanna do that because "now you don't have a crossover" - and I'm thinking, if there's no crossover (which he thinks is disabled) then the **** speakers wouldn't work at all. Then he says if you leave it on FULL (as opposed to LP or HP) that the tweeters would eventually blow. Sounds like this PRO doesn't know what he's talkin' 'bout! [/QUOTE]
