Decaf Posted September 24, 2011 Report Share Posted September 24, 2011 Bass cant move from -6. Isn't the bass setting on most decks(at least everyone ive seen) control the door speakers bass? The subwoofer level controls the actual sub bass. correct. i stated that already. bass level changes 60/80/100/200hz sub level changes everything below the LPF setting (should be set at 85) Well if thats the case then everything is fine.... if i want more i should adjust the bass eq? but i thought pumping that up is bad so if you turn the HPF off... does the bass level go to 0? if u want more bass u either need to turn the headunit up more, turn the gain up more... or different subs/box/bigger amp. an eq should not be used to boost what is lacking... its best used to quiet whats too loud If i turn the hpf off i am free to adjust the bass from -6 to +6 and the hz but with it on it is stuck at -6 and 60 Bingo! makes sense now. what hz is ur HPF set at? that setting will not affect the subwoofer preout. it seems the headunit uses the eq to lower signal... which is the same thing as a high pass filter.

Have you set your rear RCAs to SUBW yet? EDIT: Just read Decaf's post. Makes a little more sense now lol. Blown Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The hpf only has a on and off setting. do i go into my mids and treble to mess with those hz? i believe my mids are at 100 and my tre at .5khz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lowpt Posted September 25, 2011 Report Share Posted September 25, 2011 It seems to me if you have more than one set of rcas, One front and one rear/sub, and turning on the HPF mutes the sub, you probably have the sub amp running off the wrong RCA out from the headunit.
