factory amp bypass (my way - lots of pics)

[tim eh?]

Well, whaddya know. It all works just fine, including fade and balance. I just have to kill the bass a bit, and treble too, and it all sounds very nice indeed. It does lack in the bass department, but that's already well known.

What I saw at Addison is a deal for 200$ for a 12 inch woofer speaker, including a 300W RMS amplifier, all Kenwood. Not bad I should think.

Cool! Congrats! Wish that had worked for me.

You certainly don't need any more than that addison package imo. Sub come in a box? You need an enclosure... that is the trick. I'm going nuts trying to figure out a box. It's a lot more power than I am going to put in myself anyway.

You can have my old pcb if you want it for research, i think i voided the warrantee on the amp -->

if that's too easy you can try the eq ... soon to be scavenged for aesthetics!
