repobud Posted December 21, 2021 Report Share Posted December 21, 2021 good afternoon gentlemen about a year ago I installed a full Rockford system in my buddies truck and it sounded great he recently purchased an aftermarket headliner it has 4) 3.5in full range speakers that are aimed directly at the passenger and driver from overhead I wired them to the head unit hoping that they would not be that loud unfortunately when he turns the system up being that they're aimed directly at you it's deafening and not in a good way.. is there some kind of capacitor or something I can put in line to limit the volume on just the overhead speakers?

Dafaseles Posted December 21, 2021 Report Share Posted December 21, 2021 You have the head liner hooked up through the wiring harness and the rest of the system using RCA's to amplifiers? 2011 Chevy Silverado under construction My build log here.

repobud Posted December 21, 2021 Author Report Share Posted December 21, 2021 Yes that is correct the 4 speakers in the head Liner are wired to the harness for the head unit everything else is running through the amplifiers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dafaseles Posted December 21, 2021 Report Share Posted December 21, 2021 Can you just lower the front, rear, left, or right settings? Or will that effect the rest of the system? If that won't work, here's a video on how to make your own volume knob or potentiometer or whatever you want to call it. You don't necessarily have to pay attention to the beginning wood working, but it shows you how to build it. Unfortunately, all the "bass knobs" I can find pre built are all RCA inputs. 2011 Chevy Silverado under construction My build log here. Check it out!

repobud Posted December 21, 2021 Author Report Share Posted December 21, 2021 Unfortunately I played with all the controls on the head unit and whatever adjustments I make effects all the speakers thank you for the video I have several cheap bass knobs laying around with the phone jack connector I might see if I can cannibalize those Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kyblack76 Posted December 22, 2021 Report Share Posted December 22, 2021 Turn the deck up to "comfortable" , on the headliner drivers,.. Then, adjust the gains on the other gear. Basically, make your peak volume, on the source, comfortable with what it's running, then, adjust the gain, to thar volume. Or, get those off the head unit, and amplify them, and have more control. -this is what id do.

repobud Posted December 24, 2021 Author Report Share Posted December 24, 2021 Putting them on their own amplifier was our first thought but it's a single cab truck so with the two amplifiers and two 10-inch Subs behind the seat were kind of out of room not to mention their cheap speakers and I don't think they're worth the effort to pull the seat and wiring another amp.. I'm still going to give the potentiometers a try maybe next week when I have some time I'll post again in let you know how it works out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
