Why doesn't my bass always sound crisp and low?

[Rique 10+ year member]

Sometimes it doesn't thump it doesn't hit hard at all u can't even feel the bass but you can hear poor quality then other times its really really low

I have a kicker sub, mrp500 is there something I should be doing or bad wiring?

There is a good chance your battery is starting to go bad. If your starting to lose out on power the bass will be effected. When you first crank your vehicle i bet it plays great but after a little while it starts to get bad. IMO...Batery or power problem

If the ripping itself is causing variations, you're doing it wrong, or just getting music from a shitty source.

You're probably turning your source (ipod, etc) up all the way.

How much power is the amp claiming it puts out? Doubt you would have power problems on that small of power, you could probally run it on stock and it'd be fine.

Youre probally just getting used to it. or your amp or sub craps out after awhile haha

Might be this seems like when ever other time the quality isn't good. If I turn my car on at 3 and go to work at 11 30 which is the next time I turn my car on the quality isn't as good.

id go with messeed up cd quality, but thats just me. OR if your using an ipod, try putting the ipod on different volumes, although mine is always at full, never really messed with anything lower. But in some cases you may need to turn the ipod down and your volume knob up. And with the ipod, MAKE SURE YOUR EQ IS OFF. That can give you awful results
