Brick2560 Posted August 14, 2008 Report Share Posted August 14, 2008 So My trucks System (Pioneer HU, Power Acoustik mids) has started to sound like crap lately. It wasnt that great in the first place, but loads better than it is now. Now it seems when I have it up at louder levels, the bass completely overtakes the singing/rapping. Big problem. I like my bass but not when the rest sounds like shit. If one of you fine brothers could help me I'd greatly appreciate it. My Head unit Settings = HP Filter: Off (Off/50/63/80/125) Bass booster: +5 (+6-0) Fie: Off (Off/100) SLA: +4-(-4)) Fader: 0 (balanced) EQ Low: +3, EQ mid: +6, EQ High: +4 Loudness: Low Subwoofer: Off (dont have one) EQ Curve: Natural Thanks Quote "Buy some shit, Build some shit, Bang some shit!" - Dr. DB Joe owns my soul.

wL<3bass Posted August 14, 2008 Report Share Posted August 14, 2008 (edited) Do you mean your mids distort? or the overtake your highs? B/c I have never heard a 6.5" mid that could overpower a tweet. If it is that at high volumes your bass distorts on the low note enable you HP filter at 63 or 80hz. and your bass bosters should be at 0 or maybe +1 Edited August 14, 2008 by wL<3bass Quote Vehicle: 1997 S10 Blazer 4dr 4X4 Exterior: Rear End Bagged, Black Grill, Lifted 2" Amplifiers: Rockford Fosgate T8004 & T10001bd Batteries: 2 Stinger SPV35, Kinetik HC2400 Electrical: Big 3, DC Power 290amp Alternator w/ MLA at 15.5v Enclosure: 4.2 ft³ @ 33Hz 84sq.in. of port (20sq.in. per cube) Headunit: Eclipse CD3200 w/ 80G iPod Mids/Highs: Rockford T152s (a-pillars), Rockford T162s (doors) Subwoofers: 1 15" Fi BL Fully Loaded Wire: All 1/0g Kicker Hyperflex My YouTube Videos My Fiberglass A-Pillar Build My "Seamless" Looking Box Build My DD1508 T-Line Bandpass Build "Seamless" w/ Acrylic Windows (for '05 TrailBlazer) My Stealth 8" Fiberglass Build (for '05 TrailBlazer) My Build For A Friend's '08 Cobalt 15" BL Sealed Off From The Trunk My feedback/references...

Brick2560 Posted August 14, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 14, 2008 Do you mean your mids distort? or the overtake your highs? B/c I have never heard a 6.5" mid that could overpower a tweet. If it is that at high volumes your bass distorts on the low note enable you HP filter at 63 or 80hz.and your bass bosters should be at 0 or maybe +1 both the mids and highs go to shit, but only when the bass hits. The bass doesnt distort at all. Problem is, if I turn the bassbooster to +1 and turn my HP to 63/80 hz all my bass goes away!! :'( And right now I dont have the money for a sub or amp Quote "Buy some shit, Build some shit, Bang some shit!" - Dr. DB Joe owns my soul.

Brick2560 Posted August 14, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 14, 2008 problem is, I'm not real sure, I think they're components.

roscoe1129 Posted August 14, 2008 Report Share Posted August 14, 2008 seperate mid and tweet with a xover? or one unit all wrapped into one. My thought process is that A: if your using componants your head unit isnt built to drive them really B: you could just need a better set of speakers. C: its hard as hell to diagnose sound over the net...
