  12. What would you do?

    i would never ever ever ever do that trade...your truck is badass, that car is worth like 2grand on a good day.

    HAHA... the guy wants 9,800 for it. I think im gonna say no. He has no info on it except that it has a custom tubo, 3" turbo back exhaust, intercooler, chipped ECU, and a BOV. But nowhere does he state a brand. Kinda seems shady to me now IMO.

    **Oh and BTW.... thank you! She is badass isnt she! lol

  19. Need help setting gains and HPF's.

    Correct. Its always best to adjust the sound that suits your taste from having a good ear. I would turn the volume up from the headunit to whatever vol level sounds like you hear

    distortion and from their set the H.P.F. to anywere from 120 to 160 no higher than 200 for the comps. For the 4x6's try setting the crossover a lil lower than 80.

    Also since your setting the filters through the amp this means you can adjust your bass gains a lil higher. maybe in between the halfway mark should do for the comps. For the 4x6 speakers set those gains a lil lower. Reading the specs on that amp you should be good setting the gains halfway for the front comps since it only put out 50watts at 4 Ohms rms.

    You never wanna overdrive your speakers.

    continuous power 50W x 4 @ 4-Ohms RMS

    100W x 4 @ 2-Ohms RMS

    200W x 2 @ 4-Ohms bridged RMS

    Ok will do, thanks for all the help. And being a rockford product the amp does way more then rated power @ 74W x 4 @ 4 ohms.

    The main question has to be are you talking about setting the H.P.F. on the h/u or the 4 channel amp? Reason why i ask is theres different ways of adjusting the filters

    depending on the h/u you are using.. The H.P.F. cuts off the bass and adds treble as opposed to the L.P.F were it cuts out treble and adds bass.. So theres so

    many ways to go about tuning and setting gains that you basically cannot overdrive the speakers by adding too much bass which will then lead to distortion.

    If you going to turn off the H.P.F. on the amp and adjust it from the headunit (Im assuming your amp has H.P.F and L.P.F.) then id recomended setting the bass gains

    real low especially if the speakers only handle 45 watts id put the gains anywere from less than 1/3 of the gain. Set the H.P.F from the headunit to 80 for the 4x6s

    and another question I didnt mention is how many watts do the comps handle? If its anywere to a 100 watts rms id put the H.P.F frequency from 100 to 110 no more than 120.

    Also set the gains on the 4 channel amp a lil less than halfway depending what the comps puts out at 4ohms it should be safe. Another thing will play a key role if your looking

    for clearity is having slope adjustments. This is something were equalizers/processors come into play and its just a whole another ball game from their.

    Hope this helps.. Any questions im here..

    I will be adjusting the HPF from the Amp. My HU is pretty crappy and doesnt have HPF's or LPF's. So with that said should I just turn the volume at the max that it will be played at, and set my HPF's for both channels from there to where it sound the way I want as recommended by the others, or do you recommend another way? I will be upgrading to a Pioneer AVH-P5200DVD when it comes out but Pioneer still hasnt released it... it has AMAZING adjustability so that will help me as well.

    Oh and the Comps handle 100W RMS.
