Bronze Member Username: Pete_the_pupGaffney, Sc Usa Post Number: 31 Registered: Feb-07 | My HU is Jensen 9311ts. The Bass Center Freq. goes from 60hz to 200hz once one is chosen, you can't turn it off. I usually run it at 100hz or 130hz. Is it OK to leave this setting when adjusting the gain on the amp? Also my Bass/Treble goes from -14 to +14 should that be set at -14 or 0. The Sub level goes from -12 to +12 again should this be set at -12 or 0? How about the sub filter, once set you can not turn it off. Is it OK to set gain with this perameter set? |

Silver Member Username: •cam•Post Number: 476 Registered: Nov-06 | bass center frequency: dunno bass/treble: 0 sub level: +12 sub filter: if that's a crossover then you set that once you have your gains set. you should have your eq flat n all the "mega bass" (etcetera) settings off. any more questions just ask. |

Bronze Member Username: Pete_the_pupGaffney, Sc Usa Post Number: 32 Registered: Feb-07 | Thanks Cam, The sub level is where i've been going wrong. I've set the amp gain with the sub level at -0+ The sub filter to my understanding is a crossover, 80hz-120hz-150hz I have it set at 120hz. there is no way i know of to disrupt it's function. Same with Bass center frequency i usually set it at 100hz or 120hz. |

Gold Member Username: N2audioLawrence, Ks USA Post Number: 1332 Registered: Mar-04 | if you're using a 50hz tone to set the gain for your subs - the sub filter shouldn't matter. Bass center frequency also shouldn't matter as long as the level is at 0. I would set the sub level at 0, with the understanding that once the gain is set - adjusting the sub level to higher than 0 could lead to clipping at high volumes, but I find that there are songs that need some boost as the bass material may be (and in most cases IS) recorded at a level much lower than 0dB. |

Gold Member Username: Nd4spd18Southeast PA Post Number: 2984 Registered: Jul-06 | Sub level is not boost..... on most HUs it attenuates the sub outputs. There would be no output with it at 0........ |

Gold Member Username: Nd4spd18Southeast PA Post Number: 2985 Registered: Jul-06 | Actually I re-read the original post and that sounds a little screwey have +12 and -12 for sub level...... maybe that HU is weird and it actually is some sort of boost. |

Gold Member Username: Nd4spd18Southeast PA Post Number: 2989 Registered: Jul-06 | Then it may actually be a bass boost that affects only the sub outputs instead of a level control. There is a difference. |

Bronze Member Username: Pete_the_pupGaffney, Sc Usa Post Number: 33 Registered: Feb-07 | The on screen display is labeled "sub level" However I was mistaken it adjust's from -7 to +7. My assumption is that from 0 to -7 cuts the signal and from 0 to +7 boosts the signal. Taking this as WORD. should I set the gain with the sub level at -7 or at -0+. I have tried it set at +7 and anything above about 8:00 oclock (on the gain adjustment) with the HU volume set at 30 (it goes from 0-40) sounds distorted, boomy and really annoying. I want to get the most out of the amp but i want Sound Quality. The amp is ORION HCCA-D2400. |

Gold Member Username: N2audioLawrence, Ks USA Post Number: 1334 Registered: Mar-04 | that gives you plenty of adjustment in either direction depending on the music type/recording quality. |

Bronze Member Username: RoobahMO US Post Number: 13 Registered: Jun-07 | Why bother sending him down the road? I can reitterate the obvious: When setting the amp level input adjustment, leave everything 'centered' that has a - and + setting, no matter what it is called. As to the sub filter, leave it on if you are using a ported enclosure. If you are using a sealed enclosure, leave the filter off. PM me or chk my profile for a link to my page for more info. You will leave knowing exactly what is needed (if this post is not enough).} |
