soundstream15 Posted February 17, 2013 Report Share Posted February 17, 2013 my friend told me this little trick he found out, he said tony posted it but couldnt find anything on it...you set the LPF all the way on your amp and you set your LPF on your deck to the lowest, so like 50 or 60hz. he said he got louder by doing that, bc the LPF actually controls power? wanted to see if this was true and if so, is it bad? never heard of this till today Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quiet Posted February 17, 2013 Report Share Posted February 17, 2013 SMH It didn't make him louder. LPF means low pass filter not Louder Power Filter lol Quote 2007 Pacifica Rebuild. Less quiet. Still not loud. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Miguels Posted February 17, 2013 Report Share Posted February 17, 2013 wouldnt it be better to just set the amp to full pass then set the deck to 60hz?

Miguels Posted February 17, 2013 Report Share Posted February 17, 2013 im guessing your friend got louder because the amp was not tuned right.. i go full range on deck and tune the amps with the CC-1 ftmfw Quote my logshttp://www.stevemead...-my-new-set-up/my blow through loghttp://www.stevemead...future-updates/ 96 ss http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/topic/164094-96-impala-ss-build/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quiet Posted February 17, 2013 Report Share Posted February 17, 2013 ...or 80 or whatever. I like changing it at the HU because some music (more acoustical) likes the xover point at 63hz and bassheavy music sounds better at 80hz. But that's just in my wife's car. In mine 70hz all day long Quote 2007 Pacifica Rebuild. Less quiet. Still not loud. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
finkster Posted February 19, 2013 Report Share Posted February 19, 2013 Some head units let you choose different crossover slopes as well as points. On an amp you need to do a little extra work to know exactly where your filter is set at, since they aren't calibrated to the printing of the numbers on the amp case. Some people prefer a steeper slope and some prefer a flatter slope.
