No sub out.....

[Chris16v]

Hey, Ive just bought a new headunit and it doesnt have a sub out on the back. So ive used the rear outs. But my sub is now acting as a speaker. Anything i can do, to make it kick like before?

Cheers

see if your HU has any kind of crossover settings, if it doesent, your amp should. set the crossover at 80Hz or lower(63Hz would be ideal, but i doubt you have mid-basses capable of keeping up with that level.).

i would sugest setting the crossover at 80Hz, on the steepest slope you can get.

You need a crossover, either on your HU, amp or an external crossover. I doubt your HU has a crossover for the rear outputs (never heard of it) your amp should have a crossover. I would look at the amp and see if they have any knobs or switches that say 'LPF' or 'Hz'. If you have a crossover on your amp then you don't need to get one, but if you don't you have to get an external crossover for your bass.

I have a brand new 3 way crossover im selling for $40 shipped, it's for hi's mid's and subs. PM me if interested.
