[QUOTE="SmartAsss, post: 7216608, member: 629857"] ditto. Don't think that by lining up the gain knob to 2v will set the gains correctly... the marks are only there for a general idea of what its being set at. also the headunit does not put out 2v unless it is at 100% max volume. your probably looking at closer to 1.5v at 3/4 vol. 1v at half vol. turn the b-boost off you should have plenty of bass without it. the natural cabin gain of your vehicle provides up to 12db+ of boost at 20hz. It starts right around 80hz in almost all vehicles and increases a from there down. If you were to take two very different subs, put each one in its own proper enclosure, then adjusted the output sound level to match. it would be extremely difficult if not impossible to tell the two apart. buying a "SQ" sub is just not very important. Installation and settings are the main concern. [/QUOTE]
