I did a readjust on mine when I switched to my alpine pdx 4.100 amp and I got a good bass response, and actually feel the bass, no kidding. Sittin in a parking lot trips a lot of people out, thinking theres a car nearby making all that loud racket.....

yes you can -- you can also feel the bass.

You have to use a good amp; I'm using Alpine PDX 4x150 -- that's enoungh power to blast sound for blocks -- I turned the bass off to the fronts--you have infinite amount of adjustments you can make with the Alpine and good head unit (I'm susing

Lyn: Which JL Audio amp did you fit in the fairing of the SG? Also, anyone, know what is the biggest 4-channel amp that fits in the SG fairing? I am interested in the ARC 125.4 and JL Audio M400/4, but cannot confirm they fit. Can anyone help please? Also, any ideas on where to fit another pair of 5.25 coaxials in the fairing or generally "up front" without springing for expensive lowers? Thanks in advance.
