Get the music tuned professionally, most likely your cross over points are off.

who does tune???????? my bass sounds a lil off Smile

Why don't you keep trying to tune it to your ears?

Start with all your EQs flat and adjust from there. What do you mean your bass sounds 'off'?

shiva.ramroopsingh · Posted: Sun Jan 24, 2010 5:46 pm Post subject:

well the bass is not that smooth plus i would like to get someone with a lil more experience than me to share there ideas since i doing most of it myself #Fade in

i don't know if it could sound better Embarassed

theblitz · Posted: Sun Jan 24, 2010 5:53 pm Post subject:

If you mean not smooth as in its response is 'punchier' in some bands and lacking in others that could be due to any bass boost applied in the system such as by raising low frequency bands.

shiva.ramroopsingh · Posted: Sun Jan 24, 2010 6:32 pm Post subject:

nah the bass boost is on 0 but I'm not sure how to adjust the low pass and subsonic also the hz on the cross over it have 2 adjustments and that's what i meant blitz jus didn't know how to say it Embarassed

SR · Posted: Sun Jan 24, 2010 10:31 pm Post subject:

run the deck straight to the amps instead and see how it sounds

shiva.ramroopsingh · Posted: Sun Jan 24, 2010 11:03 pm Post subject:

i tried that but i fine the music sounded a lil to flat not as warm as with the deq9200 Embarassed

shiva.ramroopsingh · Posted: Mon Jan 25, 2010 5:39 pm Post subject:

rovin darn that was a lot off reading still unsure how to set the subsonic and low pass Embarassed

on the mono also the hz on the cross Embarassed

(...Rovin...) · Posted: Mon Jan 25, 2010 6:01 pm Post subject:

take ur time & read it over a few times

why u using a cross if amps have its own filters ?

since u new : to be on d safe side u shud have ur SSF set just below d tuning of d box & lpf is like d highest freq u want it to play but its usually at 80hz for most daily sets , SQ men will have it set alot lower because their front speakers will be playing midbass

so basically u setting d operating freq range u want from ur sub...

shiva.ramroopsingh · Posted: Mon Jan 25, 2010 8:49 pm Post subject:

hey went and try to fix again and it sounding better set the sub low and the mid bass sounds nice on the doors but on the beginning off the sub bass is a sort off tump is this normal the lpf is about 50 and the ssf is about 35 Very Happy

shiva.ramroopsingh · Posted: Mon Jan 25, 2010 8:52 pm Post subject:

or and i take out the cross over Very Happy

much better Very Happy

using the deck and deq Very Happy

shiva.ramroopsingh, Look at the IASCA site and download a copy of the rules. Read the SQ judging part of it to get an idea of what is listened for when a vehicle is judged. If you have any questions there's more than enough people on the board who can help you.
