Hello All,
I've followed the suggestions in this thread and have completed the following in my m235i
- disconnect front center speaker
- disable ASD (coding method)
- replace rear speakers with the JL ones

I noticed immediately a difference with the disconnected front speaker - much better stereo effect.

With the rear speakers, I was really surprised at how much lower in volume they are than the front speakers. Yes, I can adjust them by using the fader and the volume, but it's a bit unsettling to have to adjust so far from neutral to get it to sound right. Also, the volume seems to reset lower every time I start the car so I'm continually having to push the volume up to 2/3 to hear anything.

I was careful to be sure that the red striped speaker wires from the car harness went to the + terminal on each speaker.

My question is if there is a way to do any coding to the pre-amp to adjust rear pre-amp outputs so that when I have the fader set to neutral, it really is neutral?

Alternatively, is there a way to code the maximum start-up volume setting?
