hey just wondering what you think about controlling bass on your head unit. i have an alpine cda 9884. 2 type r's powered by zx1000.1 and type x components and type r coaxials powered by zx350.4....i had the sw level to +15 and bass set at 0. however my speakers were still flexing a little and one of my friends told me to put my bass down to -7, goes from -7 to +7. since they're powered by my amp should i just turn up the frequency? i can tell that my subs are being quieted bc the bass is turned to -7. What do you think?
u should have a bass hz setting which should be at 80 hz. then a high pass filter you can turn on for the speakers, which should be around 120 hz. you also gotta understand a bass level refers to just that a bass level nothin else. if it's the same setting i'm thinking of it shouldn't affect your speakers only a highpass should effect that.
i have the settings pretty close to that on my amplifiers, but im wondering about the head unit. if i have the frequencies set like that on the amplifier, will it matter what i have my bass set on my head unit?
the thing is i dont have a "frequency setting" on my head unit. i have: sw level (0 to 15) bass level (-7 to 7) treble (-7 to 7) fader/balance. if i have sw set to 15, and everything else at 0, then have my speaker amp blocking all the low frequencies, it shouldnt matter right?
in that case typically not the freuency setting i'm refering to though is if you turn on the high pass filter on the headunit assuming if you have one.
