[QUOTE="Trigunflame, post: 991332, member: 561930"] hi people, i have a question about my subwoofer i have had recently installed, first let me explain the setup. When I bought the car it had 6 speakers already installed, Rockford Fosgate 2 tweeters 2 5 1'4 door speakers 2 6x9 in the rear (under backseat window) the other day i purchased the following from bestbuy sony cdx-57710 headunit rockford fosgate punch stage 1 - 12' subwoofer rockford fosgate 2-channel RF2002 (200 watts @ 2 ohm bridged) For SubWoofer Alpine mrp-5240 mulichannel amp to power my 6 other speakers 1/2 farate capacitor I took the car to them, and it took them around 4 hours to complete, they said they went above and beyond what they usually do when install for peoples cars. [The specs don't really matter.. but might as well] 2000 honda accord inline 4 v-tec with turbo/bov/intercooler/headers/dual exhaust/msd ignition etc... @ 350hp dyno carbon fiber hood/fiberglass frontend/sideskirts/backend/18'in wheels dynamat extreme coating the entire top/bottom of trunk -car pics- [URL="http://uzipp.com/tf/car/139203979_l.jpg"]http://uzipp.com/tf/car/139203979_l.jpg[/URL] [URL="http://uzipp.com/tf/car/139205055_l.jpg"]http://uzipp.com/tf/car/139205055_l.jpg[/URL] [URL="http://uzipp.com/tf/car/139206536_l.jpg"]http://uzipp.com/tf/car/139206536_l.jpg[/URL] -engine bay- [URL="http://uzipp.com/tf/car/engine.jpg"]http://uzipp.com/tf/car/engine.jpg[/URL] -install pics- [URL="http://uzipp.com/tf/car/DSC00115.jpg"]http://uzipp.com/tf/car/DSC00115.jpg[/URL] [URL="http://uzipp.com/tf/car/DSC00116.jpg"]http://uzipp.com/tf/car/DSC00116.jpg[/URL] [URL="http://uzipp.com/tf/car/DSC00117.jpg"]http://uzipp.com/tf/car/DSC00117.jpg[/URL] [URL="http://uzipp.com/tf/car/DSC00118.jpg"]http://uzipp.com/tf/car/DSC00118.jpg[/URL] -bill :'(- [URL="http://uzipp.com/tf/car/bill.gif"]http://uzipp.com/tf/car/bill.gif[/URL] I have 2 questions. 1. how can i keep the subwoofer from moving around, any suggestions? I was thinking velcro? I am a SoundQuality person and don't care to blast my music to deafening volume.. I usually play my audio with volume at 35% of HU max. [ a note first ] my crossovers (as u can see mounted on the inside of both doors in 1 of the above pics, light up when the bass is being hit 2. my subwoofer, it seems that if i am playing my music below about 50% that the bass is coming from my 6x9's in the rear and doesn't seem like my subwoofer is hitting at all, and my crossover lights are beating with the music as they should be.. However, if i turn the music up to "Loud" as most of you probably play it, i then see the subwoofer start hitting and crossover box light start matching up with the beat.. I am wondering is this normal? I thought the subwoofer no matter how "Loud" the volume is should be hitting at least some, it seems that only when I turn the music up loud.. anything lower the bass seems to be coming from the 6x9's .... is it a gain problem? crossover problem? or is it normal, I mean if im going to have to blast my music to even use the 12'in subwoofer I wouldn't have bought it... thanks for in advance for any help, i'll try to keep replying if anyone does..
