Factory amp: no, only my 4 channel amp, my mono amp Amd the head unit. To work: double checked the wiring. Still muddy sounding but the bass plays clear. The...

    rear/sub preamp output on sony head unit

    On my Sony cdx-gt40uw it has a rca output. However, I believe its a rear/sub preamp output. Will connecting this to my 4 channel amp that powers my 6x8 speakers make them play/focus on bass? (Side note): I was messaging a Sony representative and he said use the aux port...made my question Sony...

    My aftermarket speakers aren't playing

    They play now but for some reason it sounds muffled. They play bass clear but the voices are very cloudy/low in comparison. IMA play with the high pass filter but I noticed I'm hearing a weird "hum/static" along with the speakers and even when the engine isn't on. My RCA's are connected. Sent...

    My aftermarket speakers aren't playing

    I have just installed my new pioneer 6x8 speakers to replace my factory speakers. Once I finished and tested them, there was no sound however my sub's which are on a different amp played. The amps share a single set of RCA's (thanks to rca splitters). The amp is for my pioneers is a clarion 4...

    Keeping my sealed enclosures or building new boxes?

    OK my measurements are 20x8x15 and my air space is roughly 1cubic foot (0.93 I think is more accurate). Should I rebuild or is it good enough? Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N900A using Tapatalk

    Keeping my sealed enclosures or building new boxes?

    I have learned my boxes for my mtx 5500 thunder 12's are too small (I will post the dimensions in the morning). They hit hard but I think I'm down by maybe half a cubic foot. Is having 12's in a small sealed enclosure bad? Like does it put a lot of stress on the sub? Would the sub be louder in a...

    Led clip indicator

    OK and one more question. Since I know how I will set the gain, with my new amps, what should my hz on both amps be set to? I heard 80 hz is good/universal for mono amps but what about my 4 channel? Like what do yal suggest I start around? 80 hz as well but just turn on the high pass filter...

    Hello all

    Hey there, I'm a 20 year old (well will be 21 next Sunday) man who decided to join this site. I've always loved car builds from appearance to horsepower to lighting. I started to expand to car audio roughly 3 years ago when I bought my first subwoofers (the same ones I have right now) and I've...

    Led clip indicator

    I was recently about to purchase a JBL GTO 5EZ amp to power my sub's and new 6x8's. Just as I had got my money ready it was sold. I was doing a lot of research prior to getting my money ready and noticed the JBL had a built in led indicator for setting the gain properly. I thought that was a...
