Sony makes great head units, but the one you’ve got only has one RCA preout and you’re currently using that for your sub amp. You may want to try it with the crossover at 80 on HP and then turn the BASS EQ down to +2 or +3 and the MID at 0 or +1.Īmping the interior speakers will help, however you would also really need to upgrade the deck too. Technically there may be a slight gap between 80 – 120 hertz the way you have your crossover set, but I have a feeling have the BASS EQ at +6 and MID at +3 is correcting for that since those tend to boost those frequencies you’re cutting out. I know i might be loosing just a little mids but it sounds great no distortion at all even at hi deck levels(40-45),and the subs kick like a mule, even at low volume they are still right where they need to be compared to the fronts.on some music i will go from 3 to 4 on the deck for the subs.all this is in a show S-10 extended cab.what would you suggest if i wanted to take my syster to the next level,maybe a amp for the fronts?thanks for your time I have a little over a grand in my system but i am very critical about how it sounds,my settings are seems like i am doing something a little different than what you talk about to some degree. So make sure the cut off is about the same on both your low pass and your high pass filter.Īnnie my current setup is very simple,head unit is sony gtx270mp,4 alpine speakers in front 2 in the doors and two in the dash firing off the windshield, in back a alpine mrv500 running two alpine bass line subs in a built to specks ported enclosure(has a chrome tag on it says BBOX by usatrends). The important thing to remember is you don’t want any gaps between these frequency settings as then you’ve cut them out of your stereo system all together. So ideally you want your interior speakers playing what they’re best designed to play, about 60-80 hertz and up and we have our subs playing about 60-80 hertz and down. LP or Low Pass means we’re only allowing lower frequencies to play through. High Pass means we’re only allowing the higher frequencies to play through, so this is what you want to adjust for your interior speakers. So on your interior speakers, that would be your HP or High Pass Filter. They allow us to filter out certain frequencies to certain speakers. In the simplest way to describe this, crossovers are frequency filters. You may also see these settings on your amp and not really know what they do. On many of the newer head units these days, if you scan through the audio settings you will see things like HP filter, LP filter and when you select them a few options for frequencies to select from. I also decided to clean off the dresser behind me in the video, because I think I looked like such a slob in the last one! Anyways, chores aside, let’s talk about crossovers. Hey guys! I decided to do another video for you to explain what crossovers are and how they should be set in your car audio system.
