This belongs in the AV section (i will move it there later)

Also, PICS OR IT DIDNT HAPPEN!

What does trunk space have to do with a dyno? lol

[solz23]

ooppos meant dyna. dynamatted it out.

edit: to dark to take pics tonight ill do it tomorrow. very clean install, hits sooo hard tho and its turned all the way down.. kinda need to figure something out for that eventually

Sweet Dude. I like sounds, but will not mess with the sounds of the Alti. because the Bose is good enough. All I have done is got an AVIC-Z3 and a front and rear camera.

does anyone know about adjusting amps?

can i adjust the "gain" setting on the amp while the car is turned on listening to music without causing any dmg?

and how about the frequency.. whats that for?those are the 2 settings on the amp, and i wanna tone it down a bit tomorrow because its pretty insane right now even on lowest volume, the bass is just hitting way to hard and way to much.

For any questions on sounds you would have to ask "The Doc" rjdmmfl1. he is "THE DUDE" for sounds.

If I'm the DUDE for sounds, Applebonker is the King... check out his brilliant tutorial in the A/V section, in it, he goes through the proper ways to tune a system... but for a quick answer to your questions..

Gain: gain is NOT a volume switch, it should be properly set and NEVER adjusted again... see the tutorial on how to do this

Frequency: if this is on your amp, and you are pushiong subwoofers, then your amp is most likely in LOW PASS mode... this definition is simple... bass freqencies are at the LOW end of the sound response curve

the sound response curve is from 20Hz ---> 20,000 Hz the bass response for most audio is between 20Hz and say 100Hz. (most subwoofer boxes are tuned at ~ 40Hz, that deep bass you hear is usually around this frequency.

so, for your amplifier being in LOW PASS mode, wherever you set the freqency switch to , your music will be cut off above that frequency (give or take a bit).. by doing this, you only send bass frequencies to your subwoofer, and you don't damage your woofer by sending higher frequencies to it.

*note* Actually, the only true way to really cut off frequencies is to do it via active crossover BEFORE your signal goes to the amplifier. Both myself and Applebonker are running active crossover systems, but that's another situation alltogether!

thanks for the quick answers bro

i think i got it setup pretty good now.. now i love it
