    Default 2018 JL Audio system tuning WOW

    I had my SA in for the 20 hour service, only complaint was the JL system was slightly disappointing, Dealer said they would tune it.

    It sounds incredible now!!!!! Something clearly was off from the factory.

    Bass and clarity will rattle your teeth now with no distortion.

    Nothing like the feeling of the filling coming loose.

    What did they tune? Amps or settings in ice, or both?

    Amps for sure. Not sure what else.

    I was getting significant distortion at about 40% out of the tower speakers and sub.

    Had it up to 60% in the driveway and it’s was crystal clear, no distortion and strong bass.

    I got 3 songs that will test your system.

    Linkin Park “Lying from you”
    Future “low life”
    Machine Gun Kelly “til I die”

    If you get no distortion on these 3 you are doing great.

    I have the same issue with my 2018 SR. Looks like I’m going to be playing with the amps this weekend.

    Default 2018 JL Audio system tuning WOW

    Spent some more time playing with sound system tonight.

    1) use the preset equalizer settings, rock and jazz work best in my opinion. Manual EQ is not very friendly.
    2) on the zone control, I don’t like 100% for each zone. For example, wake setting I have 10% front, 10% rear,100% tower, 100% sub
    3) honestly anything over 60 volume is incredibly loud and I am sure others on the lake will hate you.

    The more I discover on the JL system, the more I love it.

    It’s making sense now why the big boys use JL Audio.
