I have one kicker comp 12 SVC in a sealed box win an amp running 200 rms to it.
My question is how to tune it properly?
I don’t know the box tuning specs it was jus given to me.
I’d like to think I know a lot about car audio, and I’ve read a lot of forums, it sounds “pretty good” but I feel like I can get more out of it or tune it better.
My head unit has a HPF setting and no LPF setting. There’s a HPF and a LPF and OFF setting on amp. A dial for crossover, gain dial, 6db and 12db bass boost. I got gain at between a quarter and a half cuz it wasn’t sounding good passed that. Crossover set to HPF and about 100hz. Speaker ran parallel @4ohms
I tried tuning it with the LPF setting on the amp and I couldn’t really get any significant output from it which im confused about. So I’m running it with the HPF setting on amp and the HPF on my head unit. Head unit setting at 50hz for HPF, 100hz HPF on amp HPF. I have 2 subwoofer setting on head unit one set to 100hz+3db and HPF on 50hz I have reverse polarity on and 6db boost from amp. Like I said it sounds pretty good but maybe I’m doing a few things wrong. It’s installed in a Subaru hatch back. I tried HPF off on both amp and head unit and tried tuning with LPF on amp but I couldn’t get anything. Mids sound fine.
