Highs coming through subs?

[michaelg589 10+ year member]

So does anyone know for sure which buttons to fool with? Or is my only option looking like a signal processor?

Press the xover button IN( in is on, out is off) Then the HP/LP button to LP. The qbass buttons are for "bass boost", which I would leave off even though it may sound louder with it on.

Thats it. No more highs out of the subs. Thanks a lot. However, it doesnt sound as good in the car. they've seemed to have lost that "snap". They sound a little sloppy.

That snap is midbass reinforcement due to phasing issues, you may be able to turn the gains up a little bit more now as the sub will play cleaner since you got all the midbass out. At the end of it though, you may prefer the way it sounded before, so play with the settings, you cant hurt it by messing with the buttons at a MODERATE volume.

I see the gain knob, is that at 1/3 or almost max gain?

Gain is probably at about 1/3 to 1/2. There is a nother knob on the other side of the amp(not pictured) which is another "Q Bass" adjustment. It goes from 1 to 18. i think its at about 8 right now. And with all that, its sounding pretty good. I'm pleased.//content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/smile.gif.1ebc41e1811405b213edfc4622c41e27.gif

Fiberglass.

I thought about attempting a custom box in my spare tire area, but i just dont have the time.

no I mean for an aftermarket HU, I HATE fiberglass boxes in non SQ applications
