Its been a while since I tuned things in that car but I think that I ended up setting it to where 75% of deck volume would yield about 85 watts. And that is PLENTY for this white boy...
from the limited time i sat in car, i did notice that you are signifcntly less of a bass head then Scott seems to be :P
Thats cause my car is an SQ install. Its a little heavier in the bottom end than it was when you heard it now though. More of a listening curve than a flat response. But not far off from flat.

how?
if you remembered from SB i really liked how the loud button sounded but it affected my subs to so i did a smiley face. so know theer is a smoother response like that then with my teq215, but again it could be the way that they are installed now in the lincoln (you know correctly :) )

i know but i have to tune it by ear as i dont have a RTA to do it.

and putting it as a smilley face makes it sound really good in my car so i stuck with it.

a shop in the area has an RTA that i can use and i will after im done with my install.

after hearring what people are saying about the difference between the Ti Elite sub and the RSD sub it's looking more and more like the way to go is to keep the RSD 12 and just get a RSD 1200.1 and a RSD 500.4 for the front.

plus running the RSD amps would be alot cheaper on the pocket book and every revies of the RSD amps have been great

the only down side i see is that i wont have a subsonic filter for the sub :)

too bad PG only put subsonic filters on the amps and not on a crossover :) (although the deq might have one, i dont know and also that other 1 off crossover that they made might have one on it, i dont remember the name of it thou)
