i installed a jvc kw-nt1 in my car a few weeks ago...i think the shaker 500 sounded 10 times better! the bass doesnt hit at all anymore...i tried adjusting settings and its just not hitting anywhere the shaker 500 hit...

i dont really want to put in a system thats going to weight a ton...or anything like a stealthbox...just too expensive...so i was thinking a bazooka tube...id like to hear some peoples thoughts....

are u sure the subs are getting power?

mykim72

hmmm ill check...what would make it not get power? the wiring is all good...everything works...i tried messing around with the settings for days...the bass is just low...

the subs have thier own amps, sometimes they don't get wire up when the hu is replaced.

i connected all the wires when i made the wiring harness...im beginning to think its not connected...when the bass hits its so faint that i cant tell if its coming from the shaker 500 or off the speakers and making the sub vibrate a little...

Did you get the right harness....the one with the secondary plug for the factory amp?

I also did a JVC install and first go-round had the same results as yours. I did not have the subs in the doors wired properly... now it sounds great! Good luck!
