I went by there since they are close to my work, soemthing about the shop kinda scared me. They dont seem to carry high-end equipment either which makes me wonder also. I am not lookign for a crazy install, but I want the whole car dynamatted so it needs to be done correctly

system looks great but before you blast them see if they can tweak it for more bass.they should be able to take care of it for you.

Have them check to make sure that the speakers are wired in phase.

5g's? Please tell me you gutted the inside and replace them with some kick *** components or something? Total cost of amps, subs, 4080 enclosure, capacitor (?) and wiring = $2000 - $2500. It's a nice setup, don't get me wrong, but for 5g's, I wouldn't gotten the jackhammer. haha jk that's more like 7g's. Go with what ZX2G said and double check their wiring.

What are you using for a source unit? The stock headunit with line-output converter or the jl cleansweep? If it is the cleansweep, have them readjust it with less bass off the factory bass controls then turn the bass back up to zero.
