JL 500/5: Left minus Right Ambience Circuit for rear channels?
Anybody have a 500/5 amp and tried the "Left minus Right Ambience Circuit: ambient effect for rear channels"? Is it a selectable setting, or is it always applied to the rear channels' speakers? What does it sound like? Like surround sound? Is it stereo or mono?
thanks,

Thanks. That helps a lot. I'm assuming you don't use this feature, but have you tried it? I'd be dying to check it out, especially if it's just a flip of a switch away. If you give it a go, let me know how it sounds to you.

I will give it a try and let you know if I notice a difference.
I tried it and it moves the sound out towards the doors. When I was changing the switch in the trunk I could really hear the difference. I left it on since its sounds better to me that way.

Now that I see those pics, I know that I've seen them before. Very nice. However, I've got a Stealthbox on the way, so there goes that area for the amp. We'll see if I keep the Stealthbox. I didn't plan on getting one, but after having a local shop make me an unsatisfactory 8" enclosure, I had to use the store credit for something. I figured that I could sell it, if I wanted to. Truth is, after the screwed-up enclosure situation, I wished that I would have gone w/ WLAURENT's product. Of course, I may totally love the Stealthbox. I just didn't want to be screwed if I got a flat tire. So, if I don't think that I'll be able to fit the (unbolted)Stealthbox AND a flat tire in my trunk, it may be ebay time for the Stealthbox. Either way, I'm thinking that I need some rear speakers to complement my Focal 165K2s. And that ambience circuit sounds awfully interesting. So I may have to figure-out where I can put a 500/5.

With my current set up I can still move the amp and put the spare tire in the trunk if I need to. It works very well. I'm happy with my Boston RX45's and they compliment my Focal 165W's well. However, had to trim a little metal behind the seats to get them to fit. I just wished focal made a 8" sub and a 4" speaker for the rear. Once I determine what 8" sub, I will order WLAURENT enclosure to finish off my system.
