Bass really should be set at -7 instead of flat?

 

[treadburner 10+ year member]

the bass is for your door speakers too

i always keep mine all the way down to stop distortion when i do not have a 4 channel hooked up

if the bass is at -7, can I get the sub to still be loud running about 400 RMS to each sub?

 

[treadburner 10+ year member]

yes

Honestly we could sit here and speculate all day but what it really comes down to is you making the adjustments ( bass on head unit into the hegatives maybe, HPF set alittle higher) on your headunit and finding what works for you. I'm willing to bet everyone on this forum has a diffent definition of loud, good, clear and what not. Take some time and play with all of your adjustments untill you find what works for you.

If the bass is at -7, do I need to set the gain higher on the amp?

Maybe, but it just causes another problem.

Dude with your EQ settings properly set. You HU powered speakers shouldn't be distorting that low. Especially crossed @ 125hz

Are these the original factory speakers?

Maybe scoop up some cheap replacements.

Then you don't have to worry about setting the gain on your subs low.

yes the speakers are stock and I have the hpf at 125. The speakers distort around 25 now and the max volum is 35

time to replace them with some cheap yet decent speakers.

Problem solved.

Id put the bass at -6 and then turn ur speakers at the level the speakers are distroted and if they still are you probably need new speakers. I always play my speakers at -6 because most stock speakers are shitty anyways.

 

[Jer510 10+ year member]

What volume should my music normally play at if the max is 35.

no higher than 30 IMO
