Settings for new sound

[RedHotGolf]

Ok here are my specs, currently the subs are in series, in a sealed box.

wondering what kind of settings would optimise my bass without blowing the crap out of my factory speakers? IE Gain, Bass from HU and such... any imput will be much apreciated, and yea i know im underpowering my subs, but its plenty power for em now. :nut:

everyone has their own preferences for how they like their audio. why dont u just tune it yourself til it sounds good? its not hard to move things up and down and listen for the differences.

if u cant really tell the differences, then u dont need to bother!

if you want to get more thump out of your subs but not overload your factory speakers, check and see if you can high-pass the speaker outs at somewhere around 100Hz. This will keep them from playing too much bass which bottoms them out and will distort not just the bass but your mids too. I'm not sure if you deck can do it.

i would't say you were owned, you seem like you know alot about electronics, nothing wrong with learning something new.

RedHotGolf do you want more bass from your speakers or subs?

Id like to get more bass from my subs, and no i wish i had highpassfilter in my deck, but i dont, just the lowpass, which is set to 50 right now.

ive been playing with it since its been installed, was just curious is maybe any of you had some good tips for more thump is all :)

thank you
