gogojjt Posted May 16, 2010 Report Share Posted May 16, 2010 i would say 80 hz for the high pass and 60 hz for the sub low pass. turn the sub off from the deck...start by finding the clipping point of the headunit(with an oscilloscope, connect rca's and turn volume up till square waves form and then turn it down a few notches) if you dont have a scope then do it the old fashion way "by ear". turn up the headunit up bout 70-75 percent of full volume(make sure you have your high amp turned all the way down). play a good song you know that sounds good. now fade to the front, turn the gain on your amp for the front speakers till your hear distortion and then crank it down a few notches. now with the rear speaker gain turned all the way down, put the fader in center position and slowly turn up your rear speaker gain on your amp till you just hear them, you dont want them to overpower the frontstage so crank them down just a tad since there just there to make a little noise. now make sure your sub amp is all the way down. turn the sub on on your deck set the filter and slowly turn up the gain on the sub amp till you find the subs sweet spot with the front stage and viola! you have a great sounding system. this is just for sound quality though, if your looking for spl, then i would ask for advice in that forum. also, i believe there is a more in depth post about tuning in the soundquality forum......good luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
