Not much bass from back speakers

[johnprocter]

Hey fellas been awhile since i've been in this side of the forums :P i just got my amp and sub removed yesterday so iam back to headunit + stock front 6inch euro speakers and + rear 6x9's stock euro speakers, anyway it feels like there isnt as much bass coming out as there use to be before i installed the sub and amp, could they have changed some setting so that not as much bass comes out of the 6x9's so it doesnt interfere with the sub bass? if so how can i change ti back to normal i want some dam rear bass!! haha

try the settings on the headunit first. try the fading and all that.

yeah i did put bass and treb on full and put mid on 6 out of 8.. the only things i havent touched is the high pass filter and low pass filter for front and rear which i have a feeling has something to do with this

[arverson]

you cannot be serious..

you took out the sub and now you're wondering why you havent got much subass....

did you think the 6x9s could replace the subby for bass??

no hpf'ing or eq'ing can make your 6x9's magically play the lows as efficiently as your sub..

i think i made my point. :)

[johnprocter]

umm lol i didnt say i wanted it to sound like my sub buddy i said it doesnt sound like it did before i put the sub in, thats why iam asking could they of changed some settings or something... you made no point cause it wasnt even relevant to what i was asking you big headed idiot

[arverson]

the way you wrote your op made it sound like thats the case..

maybe lower your hpf then. simple simple.

[johnprocter]

oo so lower hpf = more bass? LOL i was turning them up thinking they would be better

[arverson]

if you lower your hpf for the rears then the lower frequencies (subbass) will be sent to them.

now.. you've got stock rears, how low can they go before blowing from being fed too much subbass?? your gonna find out soon..

whats the hpf set at atm?? any slope as well??

[johnprocter]

yeah its got like a slope diagram thing as well i put the hpf for the rear to 40hz now sounds a bit better i guess

[arverson]

40hz is pretty damn low.. i wouldnt turn it up too loud anytime soon.

if your gonna set it at 40hz then have a steep roll-off slope too

[johnprocter]

kk cheers

[arverson]

no probs

[arverson]

for future reference:

hpf = frequencies that are above the set one (in your case 40hz) & ABOVE are fed thru.

lpf = the frequencies BELOW the set one go thru.

also helps if you know what frequencies the instruments, voices and general sounds are at what range of the spectrum too.

he mentioned that his 69s didnt go as good as it use to without the sub

[arverson]

i think we established that mis-understanding already

kthnxbye

how about try the crossovers at the OFF setting, see if you can hear the earth move under your feet...

i buy my tools from total tools :D
