Whenever I set my fade towards the front of the car, it lowers the output of my subwoofer. Anybody know why it does that?
Factory sub, or did you add one? If you added one, how is it wired?Factory. Sony headunit that came with the car
I had a local audio shop wire my system so I guess that's what they didmy guess is you used a line output converter off of the rear speaker wires because it was easier. however, using the fader will change the signal to the rears and thus affect sub output.
simply wire the LOC to the front speaker wires (easily accessed behind head unit) and you can now fade to front without loss of signal (but will lose signal if you fade to rear - no reason to do that though).
^^^ this, and too many factory systems have limited rear channel level and/or factory EQ. I like to start with the cleanest full range signal I can get and the factory front channel is going to be closest to that.Yes, rear speakers are easier to access and thus cheaper to do. I only tap rear speakers if I disconnect the rears. If I leave the rears I will tap the fronts behind the head unit.
