33hz Posted July 18, 2015 Report Share Posted July 18, 2015 Setup is an sa-12 in 2ft^3 35hz off 900w rms and pioneer HU. This setup was in my vw Golf and was everything I wanted in a system. I recently traded the Golf in for a 2015 Kia Soul. Installed the system the same day. I noticed right away the the bass response sounded very different than in the golf. The best way to describe it is anything below 35hz is felt more the heard. The car flexes on those frequencies and the woofer excursion looks normal which tells me everything is functioning fine with the system this seems to be an acoustical effect caused by the shape of the car of airspace or something, which is weird considering this car is roughly the same size as the golf as well as being a hatchback. Either way I'm not really enjoying the system anymore considering most of what i listen to and enjoy about the set up is the below 35hz impact :-( Basshead not audiophile Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quiet Posted July 18, 2015 Report Share Posted July 18, 2015 Positioning the sub can make all the difference. Try as many different angles as you can. What are you doing now, firing back, forward, up??? also, deadener can make a difference too. 2007 Pacifica Rebuild. Less quiet. Still not loud.
