ok. this is really pissing me off. Pioneer 80prs

[jockhater2]

1st off. I can't wait to get my audison in so i can quit using the HU to power my front stage.
2nd. can't wait to ditch my coaxials.

ok. my front stage won't stop playing bass and distorting when I turn the deck up to 62.

I set the octave to 12 because it seems to let the least amount of bass.
the high pass filters are all the way up on the front and rear.

and still the front stage speakers sound like they are going to blow.
so i messed with the equalizer.
I turned all frequency's from 20hz-315 to -6db.

But now..obviously the subs are loud because of that.

How can I get the front stage to please stop playing bass.

Set the slope to higher than 12dB/octave. Or, set the crossover frequency higher. You have it at 12dB/octave, at what frequency right now?

that is as high as it goes for the front/rear

how can I set the crossover frequency?

there is no front stage amp yet. im working on that.

Oh wait, just noticed you are turning up to 62! You are clipping that signal bro. That's definitely part of the distortion you are hearing. Set your max volume for something like 54 or 55. Me, I go with 52, as I have read that's where the sub pre-out starts to clip. I've read the highs and mids start to clip around 56. I like to be safe.

Read the manual bro. It's all in there. You want to read that bish for something with this many options and control.

Also, if this was a Camry, it would set itself

I did read the manual

I guess i will go get a camry

How did you test them? I've seen more than one person test them with an O-scope and report they in fact clip. I would not believe any HU under $1k doesn't clip at max volume.

The full manual and not the installation manual? They are different. The full one is like 50 pages long and definitely has it in there.

Set the HPF and LPF. The slope is just how fast those frequencies roll off.

There should be a HPF/LPF for lows, mids, highs. And depending on how you have it set up. Sometimes you can set your left and right equal or they can be independent. If they are independent it will be a HPF/LPF/Slope for lows, mids, and highs for the left side and HPF/LPF/Slope for lows, mids, and highs for the right side.

yea i dont know how you tested the rcas on the deck but they do clip at 52-55. and go to front crossover setting 2 and turn the volume knob or turn the bone shape knob and set the hpf to 80hz same for the rears.

Yeah I know, was just saying I don't believe anything under $1k does. I realize most do, even above that price, but my point was that only the highest end decks don't. Maybe that price point was irrelevant, but I understand this

There are a few Alpine headunits that dont clip. The 9887 included. Its not highest end by any means, but its definitely not the lowest end either.
