alright... its taken me almost two months, but i finally got my system put in my 8! i have a 6-speed with the stock deck still installed, a JL 8"W7, and a JL 500/1 monoblock amp. the install went smoothly, except for at circuit city, they refused to fully install my remote bass control. aside from that, everything is connected as it should be. but theres a problem, it doesnt bump nearly as much as i want it to. the subs already broken in, so i think it has to do with all the retarded ***** on the amplifier. could someone help me out with this? please? i have no idea what they should be set to (by that i mean all of them). if its not that though, what could the problem be?

the install isnt too flashy, i didnt do any kind of custom **** to it... im going to try to get some pictures up tomarrow, though. But if anyone could help me out that would be great. thanks!

 

i dont know if this has been duscussed before. i wasnt sure cause i didnt know if people who usually do this install an aftermarsket deck in their 8's. i heard somewhere though that even with a stock deck i should be able to get my sub bumpin'

 

I'm not sure about the retarded *****, but JL's website has recommended initial settings for the sensitivity etc. Start Here

 

alright... maybe i was a little harsh on the retarded *****. i just nthouight the guys at curcuit city knew what they were doing

 

should my left and right output be connected through my stock amp, or is that going somewhere else?

 

Probably Not! JL's website is very informative though. It will point you in the right direction.

 

lol thats funny.

 

Not sure what you are asking.

 

nevermind, i got it bumpin. except i feel like it should be a little louder
