Set the gains with a DMM , videos arent that great of quality so bear with me . Distortion is the cameras mic being overpowered . Bass is so clean and hits crazy lows . Really satisfied with this build , alot has to do with that Fi sub , amazingly clean spl sub .



Almost 3/4 volume , car sealed up . Next step is sound deadener in the rear lol .


Low volume


Hits better with the car running , sub is still tight , cant wait to hear it when the suspension loosens .

The one on the amp board works both midbass . Only highs in the car is the RE components in the doors ,there crossovers are in the kick panels . With the sub turned off , it still sounds great .

When I was pulling out the factory speakers , the original owner of the car must have removed one of the midbass speaker . Other was blown .

To hear it better without the computers woofer blowing out use some headphones pressed against your ears , I found it to sound similar to the real deal this way . Still the camera mic is being taxed when ever the volume comes up .

Turn your bass DOWN before playing videos .

{That whistling noise you hear when I start the car is the floater plate/ Textralia exo - skel dual disk . Only makes that noise when the clutch is pressed in .}

















Serious Camera overload .. song is not skipping .
