[QUOTE="The Camry, post: 8574504, member: 657974"] Okay first off. What are you using to listen to music? Files on your phone? Pandora. Spotify? If your pulling music from streaming like pandora/spotify. They cut off the high and low end of music for compression reasons. If you're downloading songs from like "youtubetomp3", you'll run into the same issue. Basically anything but a cd or hi res music files will sound terrible in the bass region 99% of phones have terrible DACs. A DAC is what turns your digitally stored song into an analog signal (your aux). Your phone most likely is helping worsen the sq as well. If you have a headunit laying around. Try hooking that up instead and playing a cd and see if u notice a difference. Pretty sure you have a weird amp wiring situation going. That amp is putting out 50 rms which is basically nothing for a subwoofer. You may not be even getting output from it and are hearing your other speakers instead. Id recommend a ppi 900.5 and a sundown sd-3 10. Thatll definitely get you on the right track. Involves spending some money tho Ill assume you have channels 1+2 on dash speakers and channel 3 on sub. For channel 3, set it to lpf and lower the lpf and see if you get the 100hz attunement you're looking for. What is 100hz to you btw? What sounds are you referring to? You can check specifics with a free phone rta app Sent from my SGH-M919 using Tapatalk [/QUOTE]
