okay i was reinstalling some stuff back in my car. my rca cable that goes from the hu to the back was stuck on something so i had to pull it kinda hard. i connected everything and the speakers come out good but the bass is very quiet.

there is bass there but it not loud and i have to turn the gain way up to get the right voltage out of the amp.

it happened tonight so i didnt have a chance to check everything. i dont know if its the rca cable or the hu itself. like i said everything was fine until i did that.

so my question is just because i may have damaged the rca cable, can it only affect the bass signals?

Try changing out Rca's? If the power to the HU was out, maybe have to reset the EQ settings?

i aint the amp cause i tried my friend's amp and its the same thing.

i just didn't have time to change the rca tonight cause it got dark so i'll do it tomorow.

i hope its the cable and not my hu. i just wanted to know can a bad rca cable only play upper frequencies.

I would say yes. If its damaaged, it may be acting like a coil in line, dampening lowwer freqs

Total speculation

Actually Chad, the same thing happened to me the other day. My friend is going to be setting up my new system in my truck and he had to take out my current setup so he could get the measurements to make my new box. Then when he put it back in and I got it back later that night the subs weren't hitting hard at all. I have yet to check it out, but I may, even though I am changing my setup soon. Let me know if you figure out what is wrong with yours. And if it is the HU that's the problem for me it is no big deal because he is giving me a new Pioneer HU as well.

sounds like you pulled part of the inside wire from where in connects onto the inside of the terminal. unscrew the terminal sleve so you can look inside it and you can probly just solder it back togather.

or you may have grounded it with the HU on and shorted your pre out or something

thanks mat. it seems like your first choice. it kinda has that feeling of you know when you don't plug the headphone in all the way. you still get sound but the bass isn't there. that is what it feels like.

my mid speakers aren't playing that loud. what is loud are the tweeters.

Rovin, talk to me about those 307 subs. Send me a PM. I have 306 and they're very nice. For 55$ each, can't go wrong.

Tell me if these ones are better, is there a difference or just newer looks?

Thanks

i don't know about the 306's man. sorry. i don't really even know if the 307 is good or not yet. as you can read up there i am having problem with my hu.

when i connected my friends hu, it pounded hard and clean though. very nice budget subwoofer. i think it out bumps the cvr's imo.
