sayhuh? Posted September 24, 2011 Report Share Posted September 24, 2011 HPF blocks bass...simply put (yes, I know not 'block', but you all know what I am getting at). lol HPF is a setting for mids and highs, not to be on with subs. I figured the one person explaining it would be enough lol A high pass filter will “pass” high frequencies about a specified cut-off frequencies while attenuates “drastically” below.

Sanitarium Posted September 24, 2011 Report Share Posted September 24, 2011 WOW why is this thread still going on HPF = HIGH PASS FREQUENCY IT CUTS OFF EVERYTHING BELOW THE SET FREQUENCY It's meant to BLOCK lows from your highs amps to help get higher volumes without distortion. OF COURSE setting your HPF on will shut your subs up, you subs won't have anything to play. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nitwimp Posted September 24, 2011 Author Report Share Posted September 24, 2011 If you turn the hpf off will it go above -6? Totally. and bass is the only one that is not effected when i try to adjust it when hpf is on. and the l/o mode when set to subwoofer instead of rear is also gets softer. ???? ok..try this! if is on your amp the HPF -turn it to 0, and set your LPF at 80(like mine) then on your HEADunit set your HPF...and play it... it worked for me amp doesnt have hpf on it. only gain bass boost thing and lpf. unlesss im totally retarded. and its on the other side or something. have you checked the cables? everythings good i believe. its only when i turn on the hpf. it soudns all normal with it off but when i turn it on, i can still kinda hear it but it doesnt matter how loud i try and make it go up it stays consistantly weak.

sayhuh? Posted September 24, 2011 Report Share Posted September 24, 2011 Do you have three sets of RCAs? Also, if you do, are you using the Sub set of RCAs? If so, then what phase are you set at, and what level is your sub output on your deck at? If you only have two sets of RCAs, then you cannot use HPF Blown Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OF COURSE setting your HPF on will shut your subs up, you subs won't have anything to play. I know what it does but if its still playing the low frequencys why cant i listen to them loudly? its that i can hardly hear the frequencies that are coming form the sub because the bass gets moved down to -6 when ever i turn it on.

Read my post above. If you have only two sets of RCAs, then you cannot use HPF because it will HPF all sets of RCAs. If you have 3 sets of RCAs, make sure the sub set it running to the sub amp and make sure the sub setting is set correctly. Blown Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
