Eddy722 Posted April 26, 2007 Report Share Posted April 26, 2007 I'm pretty sure you attach them to the speaker wire. Try ebay or partsexpress.. not sure where to get them but I think they exist.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AP Zoutes Posted April 26, 2007 Report Share Posted April 26, 2007 yeah, you can get in-line ones. Go to the local Radio Shack and tell them what you need. They should have it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlpineGuy87 Posted April 26, 2007 Author Report Share Posted April 26, 2007 (edited) walmart has these little crossover things that speaker wires can go into.. not sure exactly what it was, i didnt really pay attention to it, just glanced at it.. said crossover and have like 8 inputs and 8 outputs.. i'm guessing that might be it.. it has knobs for frequencies.. so im guess thats what it is.. i think its made by Scoche Edited April 26, 2007 by AlpineGuy87 Quote 06 SCION tC Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sean 371 Posted April 26, 2007 Report Share Posted April 26, 2007 Last I heard, it's much better to alter the signal than to turn up the gains. So, use the bass settings on your h/u, much better for the amp. Most head units have an internal HPF so you can keep your components from producing frequencies below a certain point. I have mine set at 100 hz. Then just turn up the sub control on your head unit, or your bass boost on the amp. Bass boost and gains are different things.

Chris Posted April 26, 2007 Report Share Posted April 26, 2007 Also make sure you have enough power from your battery & charging system (alt) for your amp when you turn it up. Not having enough juice for your amp to turn into bass can cause major distortion & damage things sometimes worse than gain increases. This may be part of the problem you're experiencing.

Eddy722 Posted April 26, 2007 Report Share Posted April 26, 2007 He's sending low frequencies to components when he doesn't have HU set at -6. That is his problem. Get the thing from radio shack and leave your bass at 0. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlpineGuy87 Posted April 26, 2007 Author Report Share Posted April 26, 2007 ok, i understand what you guys are saying.. i'll pick up one of those things soon. also i'll adjust my bass hertz to 120hz on my components. that way no low lows are going through it.. I guess that would help too cuz before i was setting it at 60 or 80.. lol.. i didnt know any better.. Thanks guys. I'll get that stuff so i can turn bass up on the head unit.
