xXBigFishXx Posted May 25, 2010 Report Share Posted May 25, 2010 Ok I have a Kenwood KAC-7204 1000w amp and I'm trying to set up the filters on it (High pass and Low pass). My goal is to filter the bass out of all of the speakers except for the sub. I can either set it to HPF or LPF, which one do I set it to? and at what frequency? Also there is a bass boost knob on it should I mess with it? I mean I want the most bass for my buck but at the same time I don't want to blow shit up. thanks very much for your help Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Robert8252 Posted May 25, 2010 Report Share Posted May 25, 2010 Assuming you are running 1 4ohm subwoofer on it. You need one positive to the left channel positive and the negative to the right channel negative. Turn the setting to LPF. Should be a switch that sets it to LPF only. No need to adjust the HPF after this because it isn't being used. Just adjust your LPF to around 60hz. And bass boost can be set about half way if its a adjuster on the amp. This isn't the greatest amp for a sub but will work for it. Make sure your gain isn't past half way. I'm assuming you don't really know how to find if its clipping so set it between 1/4 and 1/2 turn. DO NOT TURN IT ALL THE WAY UP NO MATTER HOW GOOD YOU THINK IT SOUNDS! Hope this helps some?
