Blake Farrar Posted April 20, 2014 Report Share Posted April 20, 2014 So I know i've posted alot of topics of this problem and I dont care, Im set on fixing this problem. So, when I play my mids and highs at low volumes. They sound good but they have alot of bass playing out of them witch I dont understand they have so much bass to them that if I turn it up a little over half they will start to distort. I've turned down the settings on my amp and the bass knob is all the way down on the amp. I also switched the amps and all the speakers around and it still does it! I m so confused as to what to do at this point please help! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hammiethebasshead Posted April 20, 2014 Report Share Posted April 20, 2014 check your head unit settings. How high is the bass? Are you using loud or bass boost. these can all add bass into the mids and highs and distort things quickly once you get a speaker moving so hard that its possible to make tinsels slap, you are already kissing "SQ" goodbye. Don't get me wrong, as I smoke Marlboro Reds, but if I saw one more kid with that smug-ass look (Look at me I'm smoking indoors) on their face, I was going to shove that thing so far up someone's ass that they'd look like a hillbilly trying to understand quantitative prediction theorem. You know why people are ass holes online but not in person? Because getting punched in the mouth hurts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bbeljefe Posted April 20, 2014 Report Share Posted April 20, 2014 Turn the crossover up on the 4 channel. The bass knob has nothing whatever to do with the signal going to the mids so you could turn it down, turn it off or take it out and throw it over a cliff and that won't change the signal that's going to a completely different amp and set of speakers. You should not have the loudness contour set on the head unit and should also probably attenuate the bass setting on it as well.

Blake Farrar Posted April 20, 2014 Author Report Share Posted April 20, 2014 Thats the part I dont understand all my bass settings are -7 or 0. All settings are flat and gain is low and frq is high. The only thing about my hu is youcan tune it from an app, and I havnt done that cause my phones being stupid maybe that'll make a diffrence?

If you can't understand what he typed, bad punctuation and all, that's your problem not his.Obviously it's readable to the users. I don't think he signed up for this forum to get an english lesson. It would be best for you being so new not to be an ass. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ahmed Johnson Posted April 20, 2014 Report Share Posted April 20, 2014 Blake, either get some pics up or completely start over the install. I usually don't say this either but maybe you should find a shop near you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hammiethebasshead Posted April 20, 2014 Report Share Posted April 20, 2014 the built in crossover on the amp. that was going to be my next suggestion. once you get a speaker moving so hard that its possible to make tinsels slap, you are already kissing "SQ" goodbye. Don't get me wrong, as I smoke Marlboro Reds, but if I saw one more kid with that smug-ass look (Look at me I'm smoking indoors) on their face, I was going to shove that thing so far up someone's ass that they'd look like a hillbilly trying to understand quantitative prediction theorem.
