So I bought the BA Design subwoofer kit which includes a Rockford Fosgate amp, LC2i converter and of course the sub. I had it installed professionally by someone who was recommended to me by another forum member who had the same sub kit installed by the guy. Even though he was charging around the same as most shops he was able to come out to me and do the install at my house.
When he was done I noticed a few things that bothered me about the installation. First, he said the power cable was too short so he has to install the sub on one side of the trunk and the amp on the other side - I wanted the amp to go underneath the sub so it's hidden but he said he couldn't do that - does anyone know why the power cable could not be extended?
Second, he didn't use the L2Ci at all. He just tapped the signal from one of the rear speakers and fed it directly into the amp input. Obviously the bass is there but I have to turn the volume on the remote all the way up and it doesn't sound as clean as I thought it should.
How much benefit would I gain to get it re-done by someone who actually knows what they are doing? The BA Design youtube says to tap the signal from both front speakers (which have a better input from the stock amp) from the driver's side and feed that into the L2Ci and then to the amp.
