Im an old Fvcker and i really dont like the bass from my stock sub
is there any way to turn it off?I checked FAQ and searched but found nothing
any help would be great.

 

take the grill off the sub and you will see a little black *** it is the gainnob turn it all the way off and you will have no more sub.

 

im young and didnt like the sound the sub made either,
probably a differnt kind of " dislike" either way

 

I'm an older fvcker than you and I love the bass - I have the Bazooka NOS looking tube, but would gladly do you a favor and take your annoying stock sub off your hands for free and run both in mine.

 

my god, just because you are old doesnt mean you should hate a full range of sound, at least keep it on a tiny bit??? please?? your car is blessed with a subwoofer and you wish to castrate it?? i dont get it..

 

My parents hate my system even though its a weak little pee pee system. Can't you just turn down the Bass on the HU?

 

^ what he said, you could turn the base down on the head unit, press the left round **** in untill u see bass then turn it to the left until your happy. When my dad rides in my car I have to have bass at -1 lol.

 

I actually tried that,I had the Bass turned off on the head unit and the sub was still to much Bass.I have had some ___ KICKING car stereos and home stereos
Throughout my life and I KNOW SOUND quality.

A full range of sound does not require Deafening distorting Bass.Its kind of nice to hear a little treable midrange and a tweeter.Oh one other thing,being able to actually
hear the lyrics is something i kind of like

Maybe its becuase i like my music loud and CLEAR that subs dont work for me.

 

put it on xA mode and adjust the trim on the sub under the grate, i had the same problem.

 

I'm sorry but from what you describe I dont think you really do know as much as you think about sound quality. It is very simple to have loud music with rich loud bass without distorting the bass and without muding up the lyrics while still having good highs and mid range. Maybe with the stock tc setup it is difficult but it is not impossible to achieve with better components. But by all means do what you want. It seems a waste to not use the sub at all but if that is what you want go for it. You should mess with the options on the deck and adjust the EQ try all the modes tc, xb, xa. And try pressing the ssp button and cycling through theose options I liked feel on the xa option when I had the stock deck. If you leave the bass low Im sure there is a way to crank the stock deck to the limit without distorting the bass and without mudding up the vocals. But anyway good luck man.

 

how much for the sub??

 

Looks like Gramps didn't get his nap today.

 

I believe kidtc has a 2008 with the factory 6" sub that apparently has no separate gain control, other than what the head unit provides (by setting the bass control to negative numbers).

I agree that the 2008 stock sub is set from the factory way too loud. It booms instead of thumps and generally sounds really crappy. On my '08, I've resorted to running the bass control at -3 most of the time, and -5 on certain CD's.

I guess I'll have to rip it all out and put in a real car audio system.

 

Couldn't you disconnect the subwoofer wiring harness from the head unit? That would eliminate the subwoofer and you could still hear whatever base is coming out of the door and rear seat speakers.

 

^ i was aboot to say that

 

i am actually curious what it would sound like with no sub... does it go totally off with the gain level on the sub-box?

 

If you've had so many stereos, wouldn't you know how to disconnect 2 wires?

 

would this procedure work with the rs2 sub? i mean i just got my enw subs put in but i forgot to disconnect the other sub and it sounds kinda tacky when i turn it up

 

Of course, you can unmount the sub, and behind it should be 2 or four wires, disconnect them, and wrap them up in electrical tape.

 

dumb question, i looked briefly, where is sub? i do have it since i have the premium pioneer 08 package, i can hear it bumping like crap in the rear
