[QUOTE="mkalsi, post: 8489918, member: 669475"] Hi all, I recently got a subwoofer fitted in my small car. It is a JBL CS1214 in a sealed box, with a JBL A3001 amplifier. The subwoofer is rated at 250W RMS while the amplifier is rated at 300W RMS. I have not upgraded the car speakers. The problem is, I cannot get a good level of bass and sound quality from the subwoofer. I believe this is because the car speakers are in fact playing full range, while the subwoofer is just adding on top with anywhere from 30-320HZ depending on my LPF setting. I have experimented with different LPF settings, but I am having a hard time hitting the "sweet spot". I want the extra bass without any holes in the frequency response. What can I do, if anything? Also, there is a bass boost function, which I know boosts 45HZ, but I try not to increase it. Any help or comment is welcome. [/QUOTE]
