i always like to just use the HU crossovers and filters. nothing wrong with ones on most amps, but don't use both, you can sometimes get weird interference.
i don't know anything about HU gain controls though...
Shouldn't you have the LPF set around 80-100 on the high side. Setting that high sets the sound stage off and draws too much attention to the rear. JMHO...Polo.
set it somewhere between 60-100 hz. You want to cut it off at the same point you cut your mids/highs off so you have no overlap or gap. It doesnt matter which x-over you use try turning your amp x-over t0 80 hz and you hu x-over off and then vice/versa and see which one sounds better.
Are you using the HU or Amp. Which HU and AMP are you working with ?
Usually 24db slope is steeper and suits SQ setups better. The bass will hit tighter and sharper at this slope so you may experience lesser drag on the heavy bass notes.
i am using the xover on the amp. my hu doesn't have the option to change the slope. its a pioneer avh-p5700dvd. i am thinking of buying an audiocontrol crossover so i don't have to use the xover option on neither of the two.
are you sure you are setting your lpf and not your subsonic filter? I have my jl12w6v2 cut off at 100 and my a/d/s' cut off at 100 also so it blends nicely.
What's everyone got there subsonic filter set at? I got mine at I think 18 or 20hz, my LPF is set at 75hz for Thug music and 100hz for techno/dance sh!t. My amp has presets so I can switch between then for different types of music. Polo.
why is my LPF set on 50hz?? acutally nothing on my amp is set much, well set, but not tweaked I know I can get it way louder and lower... but xover @ 50hz, she brings the pain!!!
It just tell us B you just a bass head, lol. Chad, Ya I got it, just fricken awesome, best amp I have ever had, even old school! I never go into my trunk, ever, can't fit groceries in there anyways, lol..Polo.
Oh B, one other thing, if you are having problems with rattles in the back (Pontiac problem) remove the thrid brake light and the deck cover material, try it huge difference. Getting rid of thems damn rattles will allow the higher frequencies to sound so nice. Polo..
I have to take a entire day, to actually solve my rattling... I must say, the bass is so loud, I cant hear a rattle... Unless the bass stops, the car will still rattle for a few micro seconds
Ill diffrently remove the entire back deck, too see WTF.. Lol
On the outside its however a diffrent story... lol my trunk is broke in 2 places (bragg area) Those places rattle like a snake!! My tag I have to glue sponge or foam behind it! I need enough stuff to deaden the entire car, trunks, floors, roof.... Sometime I can get vibration in the dashboard between the firewall... Thats when Im really hittin...
Polo, If i had any highs I would then have need for a crossover... LOL Been going straight Bass for 2 months now... << its funny... I miss my highs.. I cant imagine my system when I get my highs, it would prob make someone run!! Just the preception cause just the bass right now is extremely outrageous!
People callin police on me and stuff.. Some people gets so mad, its like I pissed them off their entire day!! MENACE
2 days ago I heard my boi R coming for about 3 mins LITERALLY!! we kept waiting..... b4 we seen the truck..... I was like WTF, man thats crazy, its insane... He only had the drivers window down... Man I got alot of stories... LOL
Sh!t you should come here, I have an I-pod, with a Belkin TunerII rigged to a .5 watt amplifier. I can broadcast to everyone withing a 100 yard+ radius (through cell ant on window) and we could all bump at the same time, really mess with people driving down the block!
