Will an Epic-160 do what I want it to?

[Vossy 10+ year member]

Okay, so I really enjoy my system listening to rap and things with massive beat already there.

But when I play rock I'd like more kick to my subs.

Would an epic 160 bump up the preout voltage so I could get more kick out of rock, or is it just to enhance older music.

Just curious if it would do that? I'm a newbie with epicenters/equalizers.

Thanks

not sure if its a line driver or not but a line driver wont solve the issue of older recordings and some rock not having bass, its a synthesizer, buy it and try it out, its pretty neat

What he said, just buy it and see if you like the end result

If not sell/return that *****

True, i'll have to pick one up.

Figured someone had to know >.

Yes it will. Just push the "restoration" button and turn the "frequency" knob down until you hit the frequency you want bass and increase/decrease the "width" knob to set the frequency range you want it to play.

i recently purchased the epic-160 and im really pleased with it's bass restoration, as a matter of fact after using it u will wonder why u didnt purchase it earlier. It puts bass emphasis where it was lacking before that's it. Trust me it's a really good toy for music that's lacking in bass, it even works on certain rap music that the bass frequencies have either been cut or just low

I would try a 360.2

I hear that thing can restore quite a lot

I've heard that the 360 has some noise issues. Like a hiss coming from the speakers.

But that was a while back when I heard of it, too, so maybe they fixed it?

Hmm idk, I helped install a 360.2 in a new caddy, guy had a bunch of old tapes he wanted to play. Thing sounded great.

But then again OP's problem is a tad different

 

[Vossy 10+ year member]

Ya, I'm open to suggestions though

Don't wanna bust much more than 200 if I can. I also like to know a semi-close range to the db's i'm hitting (berely ever comps in MN)

never got tested >.
