Go to last page, that what I used

*NOTE* Not mine, someone else made it, I got it from that person a long time ago!

Oh yeah, honestly, I would change the speaker with the Infinity Kappa as stated on the previous link. It sounds so much better, even compared with the original HK system, except that it won't be surround and doesn't have that big subwoofer, instead something more like deep basses with pretty accurate high and low sounds IMO.

I'll look into it i'm just buying rims now and it bout 3000$ plus the sub i bought was pricy and i have no clue about speaker install so I'm sure if i take it somewhere it will be up there in cost. I was hoping i could just mess with the settings and get a bit more out of it raising the max volume helped a bit which is funny mine was set at like 25 out of 80 or something like that hahaha

I would stay out of the engineering menu at this point if I were you. There are many basic things you need to clarify before tweaking the stock EQ settings. You say you had a pricey sub installed, but feel like you need more power? What does that mean? Didn't the sub install come with an amp? What is the crossover set to? Where did the installers tap to feed the amp? IMO, if things are setup correctly with that, you shouldn't be overdriving even the stock speakers. Increasing max volume just magnifies your core/fundamental issues.

sorry i should of been more clear the deep base in the stock speakers stinks
i have the 10TW1-4: 10-inch (250 mm) Subwoofer Driver, 4 Ω with ported box and a JL Audio JX500/1D Mono subwoofer amplifier — 500 watts RMS x 1 at 2 ohms. I'm not sure of the crossovers or feed. ill research how to check this and post again
