So the OEM-1 arrived in the mail today.

I've been pretty excited to install it so I pulled my dash apart, took out my custom wiring (dual head units in series) and wired up this guy. I get done putting all the connections together, take it out to the car, and it's exactly the same as it was without the thing installed!

So now I'm pretty peeved that I went through all that work for naught... and now I've gotta put it all back so I can return the stupid thing.

Yes I played with the adjustment knobs on the box... I can make it quieter, but the empeg itself supports -infinity db so that end of the spectrum is covered. Turning the knobs all the way up and setting the empeg for 0db, it's exactly the same as it was with the empeg plugged directly into the Bose amp.

So did I buy an $80 volume dampener?
