Do I need a equalizer?


Recommended Posts

This is my first system I have built using and LC2i on a stock radio. I have a 2017 focus st. I have 2 D3400’s, GP elite kit, TS3.5k, 1.5cuft after displacement tunes to 34hz with an X-10v1. Tunes with a DD-1. So my issue is that on some songs the sub will hit and sound amazing. Then I’ll play different songs that I know have bass but I get nothing out of it. Sub is moving like it’s trying to play that note but doesn’t. I know it can hit lower notes cause does on certain songs but others it doesn’t. I’m thinking I might need a equalizer to bring out that lower end frequencies. Please help

It sounds like an EQ would help, but with the cost of an LC2i and an EQ, I myself would just get a Pioneer deck with the ability to use a microphone to auto equalize and time delay the source. Otherwise you're going to spend a lot of money trying to fix your stock radio just not being good enough.

on the songs that don't play bass try adjusting the accubass setting on the LC2i. what speakers did you tap to get your signal to the LC2i?

if nothing changes, nothing changes

Nice  unit. Lots of features. Cost?

$250-300 depending on car, click the link.  My buddy has one in his Jeep and its legit.  Bypasses stock equipment and gives you ADDED hi/mid/low outputs since the signal isnt attenuated at that point in the signal path. 

BL in my sig using the AmPro in a JK Wrangler.
