This may coincide with my previosu thread but i have a system also in my car....i think the guy may have wired it wrong, because I got it rewired and now, the bass is wayyyyyy to strong.....I can barely hear the words on any song, so my brother said if I get new hi's that it should fix the problem....any other insight from anyone else with a system?

P.S.- the ledge under my back windsheild rattles a lot tooooo :-/

You asked the same damn question again. You don't want just new highs, new highs = tweeters. You need new mids and highs. Get a good set of components speakers up front and an amp. You'll be set.

 

stupid question...but did yuo try turning the gain down on the amp so it's not so overpowering?

 

MFin

And we can better help you if you post what products you are running?

 

yes I have the **** all the way down on the amp so its not overpowering.....I am currently running 2 12 Rockford Fosgate Punches, with an 800 watt rockford fosgate amp

 

What speakers do you have in the front/rear? What amp is powering them? Are they coaxials or components? Do you have a crossover or hpf/lpf used on the amp? If so, where are the crossover/hpf/lpf points? Slopes? ....etc....

 

What ****? Bass **** or the GAIN on the amp?

 

maybe he turned the crossover ****...who knows?

 

But that wouldn't be just the bass getting alot louder.

 

My guess is he's running two 4 Ohm woofers in parallel and bridged on a Punch amp.

Kinda helps to have the model numbers on the product he's using.

 

Bass... too strong If you can still see or breath easily, its not too loud. You just need a frontstage that can keep up with it.

 

ahaaa...i turned down the bass **** outside the amp, but my friend let me know there is a **** in the actual amp if I unscrew the front....thanks all

 

What kind of RF amp? If you have to take the sheetmetal off to get to this bass ****, then you might just be messing with the bias pots inside.

 

hahaha good to know.

 

yes very good to know....well im gonna go with new speakers for now....and I will update you guys when I get changes

 

I had the same problem when my rear polks coaxials were in for warranty replacement. The 2 12" subs were way too strong for the speakers up front. When I got them back, I amped them and the music is perfect now. Also, make sure the gain is set right. Bass boost should only be set for around 6db unless you are trying to look big and bad with your road vibrating bass. the bass boost doesnt just turn up the bass, it exagerates it and throws it off a bit. If you are looking for perfect sounding music use around 6db bass boost.

 

pefect sounding music shouldn't require any boost at all

 

Word up. Properly set levels/gain >>>>>> Bass Boost all day long

 

Bass boost at 6 db is DOUBLE the standard amount of bass compared to a non-processed signal, if you think that is better than a flat signal.... you're smoking some crack.
