Why are some songs louder


Recommended Posts

sounds like subsonic filter is set to high

what are ur amp settings and headunit settings

i got my local car audio store to set it. it may not be just right yet cause we didn't get to set it with a meter but the low pass filter is set right at 80 on my amp

well all of tht makes a huge difference. if you go from 2 12's to 2 15's there gunna get louder on different notes. not only lthat but even 2 diffent types of 12's will like different frequencies. plus! and this is what really made the difference your box is bigger! ported or sealed? if its prted its probably tuned different than before and even if you had a sealed box a bogger sealed box will sounds slightly different than the smaller one. which part of the box is closer to the door? is it the sub side? port side? that will make a difference. not so much if its not one of those though.

Edit: also almost forgot the amp. you changd amps so make sure you set your filters and gains correctly. different filter and Xover setting will change the sound slightly, simply becausew its recting to the frequencies differently

both boxes were ported with the ports and subs firing back

sounds like you need to go out and set your gains for your amps...

clearly this isnt an issue with the songs themselves..if you upgraded from 2 12s and 1 amp to 2 15" mojos with 2 bigger amps and it barely rattles your mirror, there must be an equipment issue. definitly check all amp and head unit settings, if those are all good..take the subs out and check the wiring. something must be off somewhere.

i vote that the shop fucked up somewhere. most likely in your settings but i would pull the subs and check the wiring just be be sure. maybe they did something stupid and wired to 4ohm or something. maybe a forum member lives close enough to help you out.

If I answered you in a well mannered, informative way, you asked a good question or had a good attitude. If I was an asshole, you asked a stupid question or you had a fucktard attitude... or I was in a bad mood.

its just on some songs though, hynotize, walk with a waddle, and thug motivation 101 and beat the mess out of my car but, some songs that you would think would be loud, barley shake my window. like money man for instince. wouldn't you think with the way my box is tuned and as loud as that song is it should be loud?

do you have the correct electrical to support 2000 rms?

a 300 amp alternator and 2 kinetik 2400's? could use another battery or 2 but its fine for now i guess
