    Need a new set of Comps

    50W doesn't seem like enough for those components.

    Weak bass and midbass from preamps?

    Thanks, but I have the bass boost for my sub amp at zero already. I can't turn it down. I really just need to know if its normal to need bass boost or high EQ settings to get any audible bass and mid bass from 6.5" components. Please.

    Weak bass and midbass from preamps?

    Throwing more power at it isn't going to solve the problem. I have no problem getting enough volume to make my ears ring. At best I need to buy an EQ to boost the bass and midbass for my components, but like I keep saying, I just want to know if its normal to need bass boost or high EQ settings...

    What are these things inside my old RF amp?

    I don't know what "bias" means in this case, so I agree, I won't touch them.

    What are these things inside my old RF amp?

    LOL Nice... Seriously though, I really want to know what these do. Is there any chance they adjust the center frequency of the bass and treble boosts? I don't know if that's possible electrically, but it'd be nice if they could do that.

    Every night @ about 11pm pacific time

    I'm getting this same problem. I had it back in May when I was hanging around here a lot, now its doing it again. It seems like these forums are down about 70% of the time when I try to get on here at night. I can browse for a few minutes then everything just stops for 10-30 minutes, then its...

    What are these things inside my old RF amp?

    I was cleaning up an old RF Punch 60x2 trans-ana amp that I got from someone several months ago and inside I noticed two little dials inside on the main board. They look just like the left and right gain controls on the back\outside of the amp. Here is a picture. I circled the dials. Does...

    Weak bass and midbass from preamps?

    Thanks for the reply. I have my system listed in my signature. I know I'm not expecting too much out of them because my stock speakers that have 1 inch magnets and paper cones have far more bass and mid bass when running off of 25w from my head unit than my Eclipse components do running off of...

    Weak bass and midbass from preamps?

    I've been messing with this setup off and on for months now and I can't seem to get sufficient bass and midbass from my Eclipse components. It all just sounds hollow because the 80-300Hz range (rough guess) is very quiet. They sound alright if I turn the sub off and crank the "bass" setting on...

    Very strange lack of bass?

    Well I tested the 8ga wire and it didn't make any difference... no surprise there. I moved my sub all around and I did manage to find a sweet spot! I have the sub facing directly into the back passenger side corner of the trunk. It sits in there tight without touching anything and it really...

    Very strange lack of bass?

    Thanks a lot Rashaddd. I've been leaving at least one seat down since I put a system in this car because it makes such a huge difference. There is some kind of hole in the metal underneath the rear deck where a stock subwoofer could be placed if I had that option, but it has a plastic cover...

    Very strange lack of bass?

    I really appreciate it bass-aholic. Same to everyone else who posted. The only thing more frustrating than having this stuff not work like I want it to is not getting any help with it. I'll try messing with my sub's position tomorrow, and just for the hell of it I'll try some 8ga speaker wire...

    Very strange lack of bass?

    Its in a sealed Q-Logic box I bought from Crutchfield about a year and a half ago for my first system. It seems to be pretty well built and I already tried re-sealing it myself a while ago to make sure I didn't have any leaks. I can't be 100% sure that there aren't any leaks but it looks pretty...
