Subwoofers sound slightly behind the beat (delayed)


Recommended Posts

Is this possible? I feel as if my subs are ever so slightly behind where the basslines should be, like a little behind and this leads to a overall sloppy performance, my only explanations are the fact I am using a cheap line output converter or the fact I am using rather long Radioshack RCAs? Any suggestions would be immensely appreciated.

So you are using a LOC with an aftermarket head unit?

Yes sir, I am using the KVt614 flipout. I assume RCAs werent the norm on headunits of those days so I went ahead and bought one from.....

Walmart, I think its Scosche

You're probably missing the RCA harness--is there an empty multi pin plug on the back? See if you can order one from a local shop or from Kenwood directly. As far as "of those days" RCAs have been the norm since the late 80s.

The delay is still strange, even with LOC.

Static drops are my bag.

Did you try reversing polarity on the subs? Possibly they're backwards, or just need to be inverted. Worth a try before you dig in any further.
