Yeah im planning on doing the install myself, its very straight forward install, i am a technician for a living for mercedes-benz so the install is not the hard part, one question i have is the lc2i has a bass knob on it and so do many of these amps, im assuming using the amps control rather then the lc2i is a favorable choice? Also when it comes to tuning an audio setup im not very well versed on that either... but that may be another subject for when the actual install is complete.
