Since I had a shop do my install, the setting was there before and not there after. And that makes sense since there is no factory DSP to manipulate the sound.

The OP in this thread gives the voltage levels. It appears to not be linear and my ears tell me the same. Volume is subjective to a degree so for reference I have Focal Flax 2 way components up front running off of an Alpine 75wx2 amp. No rear channel and an Arc Audio XDI 1100.1 pushing 2 10s...

NP. I did the same thing. Read this thread multiple times bookmarking posts of interest. In the end I decided I was better off having an experienced installer do the work. Your plan sounds fantastic. I went 2 way components up front. No CC and no 3.5's. Sounds good. Not sure how...

That seems to be a common approach. I didn't do my own install and I can't say for sure exactly what my installer did.

Here's a better diagram for how the front stage is wired. http://www.mustang6g.com/forums/showpost.php?p=1757154&postcount=310

No tweets in the doors. See the OP pics in this thread.

That looks like misleading labeling. There should be a dedicated channel going to each 6.5" in the lower doors. That's 2 channels from the amp. There are 2 channels that feed the 3.5" mid in the upper door and the tweeter in the A pillars. That line is split (I believe) before the wire...

I don't know about that. We bypassed both amps when I put in my 5 ch amp. We just took the 4 line level signals to the amp. Point being that there is no dedicated sub out from the HU. The TwK-88 has 8 channels out. You need all 8 channels for your front stage?

No. You get Front Left, Front Right, Rear Left and Rear Right out of the head unit to the amp in the driver's kick panel. That amp then manufactures the signal to send to the sub amp in the trunk.

Does this help? http://www.mustang6g.com/forums/showpost.php?p=1506523&postcount=337

Bump.

I have them, too, and completely agree. He's been very helpful when I had questions as well. Thanks, Hextall!!

Quick update on the L/R issue. So yesterday I had to take the car to the shop to get some install loose ends wrapped up (loose cabling in the footwell and headliner not reseated) and after I left there I thought I noticed a bigger presence on the left side. Had to run two errands today...

Correct. I have treble down about 4 clicks, mid down about 3 clicks and bass up about 3 clicks. When I say the right mid bass dominates, the effect is that my right ear is way more tired than my left. That may be the tweeter, too. Hard to tell. I've noticed that when the rears are engaged...

That seems to be where I'm at - a decision point. The system as a whole sounds a lot better when I add a little rear fill. The mid bass added by the stock rears give the overall sound more "body" or "fullness" that seems to be missing from just the Focals. Even if the time alignment doesn't...

A local shop did the install. I'm pretty sure they just swapped drivers. I found it rather frustrating that the factory paper woofer produced better mid bass than the high end Focal. But we've bypassed the factory amp so maybe the factory amp was playing a big part in that. I've watched that...

Thanks, Racemaster, for the encouragement. The thing is, I listened to several sets in the store and chose the Flax based on how natural they sounded. In my car, they do sound very good but for some reason they don't give the mid bass I was expecting. I didn't mention this in the OP, but I...

I have the 401A Shaker Pro with sub and have bypassed the factory amps to install a 5 channel Alpine X-A90V and Focal PS 165 FX 2 way components in the doors and A pillars.. So I'm running four speakers up front (no mids in upper doors or center channel) using the supplied passive crossovers...

Another question. I notice that my voltage gauge wanders between 12 and 14 vilts even when I'm playing at a low volume. It'll sit at 12, 12.5 or 13 for a minute or two then jump to 14 for a little while then back down to 12 - 13 for a minute or two then back to 14. If I unplug the amp...
