OK, so I finally got around to having all of my components installed. This is what I got;
JBL MS8 processor
JBL MS-A1004 100 watts x 4 channel amp at 4 or 2 ohms
JBL MS-A5001 500 watts x 1 channel amp at 4 or 2 ohms
JBL GTO609C 270-watt, 6-1/2" two-way component speaker system
JBL GTO939 300-watt, 6" x 9" three-way speaker with adjustable-level tweeter
JBL GTO629 180-watt, 6-1/2" coaxial speakers
JL Audio HO110RG-W3v3.

Ok, so I had a local shop install everything but they ran into a snag. The JBL MS8 has to be tuned. It has a screen with a wireless remote. You control everything with the remote to set up. The problem is the remote that came with it is defective. The volume down button doesn't work and the gain on the MS8 is turned all the way to the max. It's impossible for them to tune it as there are no redundant buttons on the monitor. Stupid design if you ask me. Anyway, JBLs customer service is really good. They are sending me a new remote. Hopefully I can then tune it and get great sound. Right now it doesn't sound very good. I'm also getting the echo in bluetooth. I don't hear anything but whomever I call gets an echo. There is a fix I read about on DIYMobile.

anyone else with a 2012 regal GS who's installed aftermarket head unit? I'm thinking of replacing my stock unit. My installer says my radio isn't putting out an optimal signal. If I bypass amp what would I lose. back up chimes? Also, I want to keep my drive control knob. Any aftermarket work around to keep it? My installer din't think there was a way. That was a year ago.
