IKnowImLost224 Posted January 25, 2012 Report Posted January 25, 2012 I recently switched from a Pioneer DEH-P4000UB (http://www.pioneerelectronics.com/PUSA/Car/CD-Receivers/DEH-P4000UB) to a Pioneer MVH-P8200BT (http://www.pioneerelectronics.com/PUSA/Car/DVD-Receivers/MVH-P8200BT). I adjusted the settings and EQ's to almost exactly what my old radio had, yet I feel like I get hardly any bass unless I have the Bass Boost or Sub Level turned up where I didn't need that with the old radio. I know they both have 4V RCA pre-outs but im not sure about their internal amperage, if anything I would think the MVH would have a bigger internal amp. I'm not familiar with what can change between different h/u's so i'm kinda lost as to what it could be. I am just familiarizing myself with the differences in the pre-out voltages but these are the same so I wouldn't think that would affect it. Quote
carshateme Posted January 25, 2012 Report Posted January 25, 2012 (edited) Did you turn the "Loudness" on? Edited January 25, 2012 by carshateme Quote New build coming soon.

IKnowImLost224 Posted January 25, 2012 Author Report Posted January 25, 2012 Yup, it has Low, Mid, and High settings, I have it on high which is where it was on my old radio cause it makes the interior speakers sound much better Quote
Rebel4055 Posted January 25, 2012 Report Posted January 25, 2012 Yeah having loud on also increases chances of clipping and distortion. Maybe you need to turn the volume up a bit more. Best way would to use a scope or DD-1. Quote Rest In Peace mother. January 22, 1955 - February 14, 2013 http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/user/35351-megrch/

IKnowImLost224 Posted January 25, 2012 Author Report Posted January 25, 2012 where do you have the sub level at? Eq? Sub level is at 0. As far as EQ I know that the 40 Hz and 80 Hz settings are at -1. The EQ only affects front and rear correct? Quote
ALPINE408 Posted January 25, 2012 Report Posted January 25, 2012 look for the SLA on pioneer that changes output a lot on those decks iirc Quote Have you ever had your woofers blown?
OrionStang Posted January 25, 2012 Report Posted January 25, 2012 Did you really expect a new headunit to sound exactly the same by doing the settings the same? They are different, set it up accordingly. Put the sub level to max and then scope or dd-1 your deck and amp. Leave the EQ flat. Quote SMD Super Seller My Feedback Thread
