akuma4u Posted November 5, 2015 Report Share Posted November 5, 2015 Hey my double din pioneer has a sub level from -24 to +6 i was wondering where i should set this to? im pretty sure it should be at +6 because when its at 0 the gain on amp has to be turned up quite high in order for the subs to play properly OR a lot of bass boost has to be used to make them thump,. but when its at +6 the gain is not turned up overly high and only a little or no bass boost or SLA has to be used.. anyone with this deck or similar deck have any info on this? thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Keagan-Z06 Posted November 5, 2015 Report Share Posted November 5, 2015 Do you have a DD-1 or Olliscope? I had the x4500 and even before tuning with the dd-1 I was 0 bass level with 25% gain. I highly suggest you tune with one of those.

I highly suggest you tune with one of those. you must have a good amp. by bass level do you mean bass boost? im talking about the sub level in the subwoofer section in the audio menu of the HU.. ive researched a ton on this topic and honestly half the people say leave it at 0 and other half say at +6 for full output and it will NOT cause distortion or clipping at +6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have a kenwood HU 5v pre outs and I have my sub out set at zero and my gain on amp is around 11'o'clock... U really need to get a oscope if your worried about it so much. I don't ever use one because I just use my nose and ears. I can smell and hear when something ain't right. c-pillar flat wall 157.11db on music 2 crossfire 8k 4 NSV3 18s 4 crescendo 10s 4 Rockford pro 6.5s Quad excessive amperage 350alts 4 juicebox 3100s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Massivespl Posted November 5, 2015 Report Share Posted November 5, 2015 U need to find someone local to you that can help you. Talking to you on the Internet is like a broken record... If your serious about car audio go buy a $60 oscope mini off eBay. c-pillar flat wall 157.11db on music 2 crossfire 8k 4 NSV3 18s 4 crescendo 10s 4 Rockford pro 6.5s Quad excessive amperage 350alts 4 juicebox 3100s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The sub out on HU isn't going to magically set Your amp up for a clean signal, if your really worried about clipping u need an oscope to set the HU and then the amp. c-pillar flat wall 157.11db on music 2 crossfire 8k 4 NSV3 18s 4 crescendo 10s 4 Rockford pro 6.5s Quad excessive amperage 350alts 4 juicebox 3100s Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
