Does anyone have a book or guide on how to tune one of these ? Had it in my car for over 18mths now and never been able to work it.

Runs Fibre Optic from the "brain box" under the seat to the boot, can get to it thru the screen by selecting "Other" under "audio processor" but once im in there im bombarded with settings... is there an easy way to set it up ?

The manual that came with it didnt make any sense.

Having owned one, I can tune & educate you on its advanced features if you come to a cruise @ some point. Otherwise see volatile. The thick book I have is for the RUX controller so pretty crap IMO. Having somebody explain what the "crap" does turns rubbish into music.

cheers kirbo. I'll have a look for the switch tonight and see if that helps. It doesnt sound too shabby, but for some reason the front tweeters sound like crap at even a moderate level.

prehaps 1000w thru the front stage is a bit much...

Hey Mate,

Drop it by the shop and I'll explain all the settings & menus to you.

Alternatively, if you want it tuned properly (as in an RTA & Osc. tune, not done by ear) I can do that for $150 (it can take up to 3 hours to tune properly).

Give me a call on my mobile before you come down as I am in and out of the store this week.

no problems rob, will give you a hoi once ive re-installed the front stage. the tweeters are just floating on the dash atm.

any suggestions as to best place to mount them ? i was thinking on the plastic just behind the mirrors ?

Perfect spot for them

Try and angle them a bit if you can... aim them at the centre of the roof to start with and then adjust them from there to set up a nice sound stage.
