I shall see once I receive my Scopemeter (DMM + Oscilloscope) and install my Helix DSP Pro using a UMIK-1 mic + RTA. However, I can't make my sub play higher without making some bigger changes so im going to have to figure out what i want to do. I'm really leaning towards trying an IDMAX v4...

I get what you mean but I feel like tuning that high it would be even more peaky and then lack the low end. I'm in the camp of building a different type of box or changing woofers all together, I'd prefer a larger response range, not to move my response...beating a dead horse at this point...

not keen on building another ported enclosure with a higher tuning. im familiar with what will happen. right now my low end is beautiful. i wouldn't want to lose any low end extension, especially for this particular sub tuning to 38hz just wouldn't be ideal. as far as components go. would ID's...

yeah i did in the sub stage section... "- Box = 2.25 net cu ft tuned to 32hz (baltic birch)" also, i doubt i would like a box tuned to 40hz. i had a 15" tuned to 36hz and that was perfect because it hit lows and highs decent. 40hz on a 12" fi q would totally kill my low end. i dont want to...

yeah but that wont make my subwoofer have a strong 50-60hz response. it will just weaken my low end. my problem is i want the high end to hit with some authority. i know what strong higher end bass feels like and this does not have it. i had a 15" woofer that honestly played the highs much...

The damping of a lower impedance load is more of a myth than anything? Or maybe it has more to do with clean power on tap, in which I have plenty... I already have a ported enclosure. I'm not happy with it, it's peaky and does not hit above 50hz with any weight. I have a gaping hole from...

I'm attempting to upgrade my system and make a SQ / SQL'ish car...but I have a few questions about design and product choice... I will post pictures of my install currently later today... Current system Processor: - Helix DSP Pro Front stage: - Pioneer AVX-4000NEX HU - ID CTX65 (active)...

i dont think im going to get the mini dsp. im looking at maybe a used version of one of the ones you posted. cant decide though. leaning toward the apline h800 as far as the rear fill, is there any dsp that will allow me to somehow run the rear speakers through the DSP without buying another...

would you recommend the miniDSP C-DSP 6x8? I would like to make my front speakers active and run the rears off the HU power, which I thought was possible? Then use a DSP if necessary.

so how do i hook up the DSP in relation to all of my speakers? and are you saying i have to get different crossovers ontop of the dsp as well? that way i can adjust the crossover and gain of my tweeters individually and have the dsp for overall EQ/tuning? what if i powered by rear door speakers...

How would a DSP allow me to control things like tweeters and mids separate if I keep them hooked up the way they are currently with the stock crossovers?

Thank you so much for your reply! I appreciate you recongizing the quality of this build and the time and the money that went into it. I will post pictures later. I have a few questions though. 1. What exactly does DSP do? With my application what type of adjustments and tuning will I be able...

Hello, all. I just finished installing my system and I'm looking to make some improvements. Mainly it seems my component/co-axials are too bright, potentially lacking mid range, or hidden with bass and highs. I will pose some ideas and questions below...

I'm a bit confused as to what I should use for my battery setup... Car: 2013 Subaru WRX - Breathalyzer unit - uses some power - Cobb Accessport 3 - very little power draw Under hood: - DC Power 250a alt - XS Power D3400 - Big 3 (1/0 gauge in conjunction with stock wiring) Amps: -...

I have a 12" fi Q for sale. It is brand new and has all the options besides high qts. It's dual 2 ohm so wires down to a 1 ohm load. I'm selling the sub because I was originally going to run 2x in my Subaru but the specs were very hard to make possible and would have been almost impossible to...
