medwards420 Posted December 29, 2014 Report Posted December 29, 2014 Hey guys, i got a dvd head unit installed and i noticed it doesnt have the same bass as before .....like i have to turn it up more for it to start bassin vs before with stock unit just a little. but it does sound ALOT clearer when i turn it up. any suggestions? I have a fairly decent amp (kicker dx 1000.1) so it couldnt be that
Broke_Audio_Addict Posted December 29, 2014 Report Posted December 29, 2014 Did you readjust the gain? You could have lower input voltage going to the amp with the new headunit. That being said a lot of people's definition of "music" is a clipped 30 hz sine wave with some 80 IQ knuckle head grunting about committing crimes and his genitals.
medwards420 Posted December 29, 2014 Author Report Posted December 29, 2014 shop said they reajusted everything i think its a 2v output
redwolf2 Posted December 29, 2014 Report Posted December 29, 2014 Have you played around with the EQ on the deck?

Aj11 Posted December 30, 2014 Report Posted December 30, 2014 well most stock headunits Max at volume 12. there's very Lil play between Max and off. compared to a aftermarket deck like mine that maxes out at volume 50. also i don't know who installed it the first time but your gain could have been way to high and the last guy actually knew what he was doing. that could be a reason. but the question that hasn't been asked... you say it takes more clicks of the volume knob to start bassing. Is it still the same output? and just takes longer to get there? or is there a loss of output? also you say in the title you changed boxes, but in post you don't speak of it... a new box can change everything! jvc deck stinger 1800 front hc 2000 kinetic rear 2 runs of 1/0g big 3/4 ct 60.4 2 ct 1400.1 ct EXO 15 d1 lots of deadner type r comps front stage 6 kicker tweets rear stage lots of great stuff coming soon ho alt more bats ct comps for front stage more deadner sweet amp rack lots of L.E.D lights new deck (thinking 80 prs, or flip out)
medwards420 Posted December 30, 2014 Author Report Posted December 30, 2014 good out put just takes like up to 20 to get there and yes had bass boost up , havent switched boxes yet
afrakes Posted December 30, 2014 Report Posted December 30, 2014 The shop u just took it to probably knows what they r doing and turned ur bass boost off Vehicle: 2014 GMC Sierra 2500HD WT Head Unit: Pioneer DEH- Mids/Highs: Focal Integration ISC 165’s (front) Subs/Amps: TBD
Aj11 Posted December 31, 2014 Report Posted December 31, 2014 sounds like you have more control over your volume now, and your gain.might be set right. also never run bass boost! ever! it will just clip your subs and kill your subs. i truly don't understand why they even make "bass boost" i mean isn't that what the amp does to begin with? jvc deck stinger 1800 front hc 2000 kinetic rear 2 runs of 1/0g big 3/4 ct 60.4 2 ct 1400.1 ct EXO 15 d1 lots of deadner type r comps front stage 6 kicker tweets rear stage lots of great stuff coming soon ho alt more bats ct comps for front stage more deadner sweet amp rack lots of L.E.D lights new deck (thinking 80 prs, or flip out)
