hey, I just installed two kciker 12's and a 900w amp using the stock head unit and a hi-lo converter. Now my only question is why isnt the bass in sync with the volume of the head unit? Down around 10-30 (rather low volume) the bass over powers the treble like crazy (thats even with -5 bass and +5 treble). I guess I need to fine tune it a little more. I think its cause I got the gain turned way up on the amp. I dunno any suggestions?

 

turn down or off the amp/sub

turn up the volume on the headunit until the stock speakers sounds loud and clean
then finally turn up the amp/sub to your desire loudness

if you want to stop bass from going to your stock speakers
you can install bass blocker on each of the stock speakers

this will help the sound also

 

Cars That Go Boom.............

How many kinds, where can we start?
We like them dumb and we like them smart.
I like the ones with the pretty eyes,
Well i like all kinds of guys.
Stop. What happened, how about the ones we especially like?
Which ones?
You know the ones with the cars that go..
I hear you..
Hit it!

It was me and the possy with Bunny (G)
We were cruising in the Jag or the Lambourgini,
When low and behold there appeared a mirage,
He was hooking up a car in his daddy's garage.
We stopped short, did a double take,
He was looking so fly, I thought I wasn't awake.
He was obviously hooking up bass, I asume,
But then he turned a little button and the car went boom.

We like the cars, the cars that go boom,
We're Tigre and Bunny and we like the boom.
We like the cars, the cars that go boom.
We're Tigre and Bunny and we like the boom.

We like them short, and we like them tall,
We like them one, and we like them all.
They're always adding speakers when they find the room,
Coz they know we like the guys with the cars that go boom.
And see my boyfriend really knows where it's at,
He's got 50 inch woofers all along the back.
He makes a comment on going to my room,
I'd rather stay out with his car that goes boom.

We like the cars, the cars that go boom,
We're Tigre and Bunny and we like the boom.
We like the cars, the cars that go boom.
We're Tigre and Bunny and we like the boom.

Now if your car ain't got it, go out and get it,
We like the boom and don't you forget it.
So turn down the treble, and flaunt your bass,
So your car can be heard almost any place.
Coz when you're in the street you can't go far,
Without hearing the boom pouring out your car.
So if your speaker's weak, then please turn it off,
Coz we like the cars that sound so tough.

We like the cars, the cars that go boom,
We're Tigre and Bunny and we like the boom.
We like the cars, the cars that go boom.
We're Tigre and Bunny and we like the boom.

what...the...____... ?

 

 

how do bass blockers get installed? is it hard? where can i get them? thanks...

 

seems like you'd be better off just buying a deck....


bump! my system is getting installed as i post!

<= is excited

 

it's prolly due to processing delays, which are normal not heard in OEM setups.

Also, as far as the bass overpowering everything, yuo have a very bass heavy setup, you have more than 9 times the power going to the subs as you do to the rest of the system combined.

Try this, turn the gain all the way down, then set your treble & bass flat, then turn up to HU to the loudest you'd ever want it, then turn up the gain until it gets painful, which is too much, then back off until it isn't painful anymore, then turn the HU down to a normal level, and your set.

BTW, you'll want to get a Crossover of some kind to kill that delay, as well as save your mids/highs.

Hope this helps.

Gain is the enemy!


:twisted:

 

Amp the highs and you should be fine....
