[QUOTE="HardofWhoring, post: 8862249, member: 674149"] If the head unit could only go to 50hz, then you are definitely missing out on the good deep bass. Even with a dongle to the dsp, the signal is still originating at the head unit. If it's going through the head unit, it would be cutting it off. 1. I don't believe that, because head units don't usually cut that high. 2. How would your install guy know that, unless they were testing out different frequencies to set the gain, but that doesn't seem likely. (If you have a signal going from phone to amp, and bypassing the head unit, then you could test that). Nobody is going to think it's stock when you play it. You can find really simple looking head units. single or double din? 1. If you're missing out on frequencies below 50hz because of a head unit, and 2. aren't willing to change it, then do yourself a favor, and just pull the sub out and forget about it. You might as well put in a midbass and get something. (Still don't believe that's accurate though). Did they sell you any of this equipment? How did you choose this equipment? There are several things you are saying that are just wrong. Either you are saying them wrong, or he told you the wrong thing. You may not realize this yet, but you spend $1200 on a single 12" sub and amp, and the sub is probably somewhere around 500 -700 watts. (That's at least twice as much as what you should have spent.) It sounds like you've spent about $6K so far, haven't done any sound deadening, you haven't said anything about electrical and have next to no bass. Unless your plan was to spend $10K on a simple system, then you should have a problem with that, and need at least a second opinion. You've really gotta find the part numbers. They will be on the receipts. Even taking pictures of the equipment should give you something. You need to know/we need to know what equipment you have, and you want to know what it's being set at. I know you don't like to hear what I'm saying, but were the ones that are NOT trying to sell you anything. [/QUOTE]
