[QUOTE="IronAnger, post: 8769268, member: 684237"] I was using the head unit for crossover and slope is that the wrong way to go about it? [U]Sub[/U] LPF: 90Hz Slope: -12db [U]Front[/U] HPF: 120Hz Slope: -24Hz [U]Rear[/U] HPF: 150Hz Slope: -18Hz Also, in deciding the type of enclosure to make I had decided on a sealed box due to the fact that, even though I listen to techno, dubstep, some rap and other "bassy" music, the main type of music I listen to is metal. So the idea was to keep the double-bass kicks very tight with a sealed enclosure. I will say, after setting that sub level to 10... OMG this thing POUNDS! It's possible to mistake this car for having 2 12s! Click click boom by Saliva came on and my head nearly exploded! I think my mistake was this: I thought the subwoofer is set up for maximum potential, then turned down (by EQ, or reducing gain) to blend correctly. This is why I was searching for a hardware issue. But it seems the output of the subwoofer still needs to be increased on this head unit. If the SW is set to 0, then.. well, it won't be there! Thank you guys for your input and correcting my thinking on this topic. I'm amazed at the quick reaction of this community! I have book marked this site and hope to contribute in the future! Have a great day guys! -IronAnger [/QUOTE]
