Bass level

[eclipsegt2k]

I tried searching this first, but could not find anything. I have an alpine cda-9856 HU, running a mono block S/O M-1500 amp. Not sure if the amp matters.

The issue is, when I adjust the HU bass control it affects my sub level. Is there anyway to not have that happen. I wish it only controlled the other speakers and not my sub.

specs say it has sub pre-amps outs so it seems you would have control over your bass, my sony does.

The bass control on head unit does only control the front/rear. Your hu has a sub/non-fader out. The only likely way you could be affecting the sub is if the RCA's on the back of the hu are connected incorrectly or its broken.

On the HU's I've owned that had bass control & sub preouts, all speakers were affected by it.

This was on Eclipse & older Alpine HU's.
