we could do that, but it wouldn't help you...every system's tuning is unique...

i can't make the pic any bigger! anyways.. i put all the settings all the way to the left. it looks like this / << if i pull it all the way to the right with a flat-head screwdriver, it points the same way. should all the settings be at /, |, \ .. i hope people are understanding me. i think it would really help if someone can post a picture similar to mine but a lot bigger so i can see the settings.. i have one more question. for speakers, do you guys put Hi Level or Lo Level on your amps? HELP!!

If you're unsure, take it to a car stereo shop and ask them to tune it. You may be charged $20 to $40, but your audio may sound better than it has before.
