Stee-Z Posted September 6, 2011 Report Posted September 6, 2011 my gain settings for my aq 2200 were all set up, but i am sure the 9515 on the AQ 2200 should be louder, or at least hit harder, so today i went and "fiddled around" lol, but didnt really chang anything other than backing the gain down?! lol ok please help me where the gain settings should be Gain- 1/2 way up subsonic (10hz-20hz)- all the way down, so at 10.. i have no i dea where this should be at bass boost- offof course LPF- (20-200)- a little less than half way ok, so today i also played with the gain a tad... if you didnt know yet ive been having a problem with my box, 5ft3 @ 30hz... i forgot to seal the face of the baffle, so alot of air blows out. i still need to fix it and will, but when i was just turning the gain a little bit at a time, i got to just a little over half way, and this horrible shitty thwapping high noise comes out, could this be my box? it freaked me out so i turned the gain down more than i had it before, it should do that at just a little over half way should it? i can't really explain the noise but its just horrible and you would think also too lol. so question one- my gains set ok? or should i turn something up or down? ques. 2 - wtf is that noise, and is it just my box?

Team_DC-Derrick Posted September 7, 2011 Report Posted September 7, 2011 the gain setting should be set with a DD1 or oscope.... thats where it should be The DC Integra 3 18s to 6 15 build log Team_DC-Derrick's Youtube Team DC Audio where theres a will theres a wall.......

DTS909 Posted September 7, 2011 Report Posted September 7, 2011 First thing I would do is get that baffle screwed down or sealed up.

RooTxBeeR Posted September 7, 2011 Report Posted September 7, 2011 Subsonic should go around 5 Hz lower than what your tuned to, and LPF should go to what your speakers are set to on the HPF On 11/20/2012 at 8:54 PM, AMI CUSTOMS said: Turned mine up today at a light, guy next to me his steering wheel started moving and he looked over at me like I was a magician lol.

Stee-Z Posted September 7, 2011 Author Report Posted September 7, 2011 ok, and what will the subsonic do when i turn it up to about 25? will it make a difference to the ear? jw bout that part XD (4)DD 9918's (2)DC 10k 8 6.5" focals 2 DD SS4 mid amps Audison Bit One processor Jl-cl-rlc line driver iPad in dash Dual Irragi 320a alts 8 batcaps 4000's Second Skin sound deadened
graham0599 Posted September 7, 2011 Report Posted September 7, 2011 ok, and what will the subsonic do when i turn it up to about 25? will it make a difference to the ear? jw bout that part XD It will quit reproducing the notes that the port can't handle and you cant hear. It will allow your amp to work more efficiently. My 350z build- http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/174424-2008-350z-build/page-2?hl=%2B350z+%2Bbuild#entry2605678
techforce Posted September 7, 2011 Report Posted September 7, 2011 Well, if you dont have access to test equipment, I would fix the cabinet, that will make it sound like crap and lose pressure... Then more than likely what your describing is distortion or overdriving the subs. I set my gains on all my AQ's with the DD1 and they seem to be a lil past 1/2 way, so if you are keeping your voltage up, about 1/2 way will be safe if the subs can handle the power.. The box leaking will also make the subs play differently and they will not be as effecient... they will get louder and sound better once the box is properly sealed... Best thing you can do is follow your gut and if it does not sound right, back it down till it does... also play for a while and feel the center of the subs to make sure they are not getting hot.. a lil warm will be ok...
