Good you explain to a dummy like myself. I understand how you are breaking it down and explaining each but my brain won’t allow me to understand. Could you just tell me around about where each setting should be. Such as the gain, should I turn it all the way to the right, halfway, or a quarter. Same as the lpf and subsonic. Should I have those turned a quarter, half, or full. I hope I’m asking the question where you can understand.

I've been wiring car audio since the late 80s. I think it's about damn time that all amp manufacturers finally start using tactile potentiometers across all amps in increments of 5hz. It would be way easier rather than giving a silly random range and not being able to tell accurately what it's currently at.

You cant really do increments of 5hz on a lpf that goes 30hz to 250hz. Markings every 1/4 turn however would help greatly

Hi Jacob, if you are setting the LPF on the stereo , just try setting the amp to max (200hz). This way one doesnt need to worry if the amp dial (like you did at 12 o clock position) is indeed say a 90hz or something. I do it this way and it sounds good as well as loud, though am not a true SPL person. May be you can test it that way and let everyone know how it works. Thank you for your regular content bro.

Good info

I use my head units high pass cause my 4ch cut off is to low with no adjustments but I don’t use the low pass on my head unit for my sub amp cause I heard/read the less you use your decks options the less it interferes with a clean signal and doesn’t consume as much current and I don’t use an eq I keep everything on my deck at 0 my sub out as well unless I’m listening to regular music not bass tracks like I normally bump. I’m tuned super low there are days when I want to go for a higher tune or just go sealed for that strong flat response but then I play a 20hz note with authority and I just think to myself what a wonderful blurry world

Nice I set my amp just a bit higher than my head unit so if my headunit is at 80 hz I set my amp at 100. So just in case somebody or myself happens to accidentally mess or delete my headunit setting my subwoofer is safe or protected at 100 hz Not like 250 will hurt is but if you have a full bridge you might end up sending some higher frequencies to your subwoofer princely not good if your running lots of power. So I set my amp as a fail safe.

Hey my box is tuned to 32 hertz. I've already done the gain/level with my multi meter to 36.00 for my 1300 rms. My LP is at 80.

Any help would be appreciated in setting some gains filters etc etc.....

I don't have these settings on my factory receiver.. how do I set it accurately

I need a little guidance on slopes. My amp for subs has a 6 and 12db . My pioneer head unit has crossovers - running off head unit power- rear door 3 way 5.25 coaxials and xover is 6 to 24. Up front, again running off head unit to a 12 db passive crossover and set of components and again 6 to 24 db. The sub xover is 6 to 36bd slope. Sub range is 20hz to 300hz. Both sets of mids/highs are 67hz to 20k or something. Both the components up front and coaxials in back have a 0 or 3db boost feature. Oh, and the mids and highs are JBL and rated 5-270 w 3 ohm. So my pioneer head unit pushes quiet nicely. Just adding that before someone gives me grief about not having the highs on an amp lol. So recommendations? On. The front set of components, is 12 db in the passive and 12 on head unit the same as running 24 db slope on rear speakers..? Just clarifying that concept. What really get me is the phase issue and making a "hump" if my slopes are wrong.

I'm wondering the same thing... did u ever get an answer on this?

Sound qubed 👍👍👍

All LPF is is setting a crossover at that specific frequency. Amplifiers usually contain a 12DB/octave slope, don’t overthink it. If you want your sub to stop playing music around 60hz, cool. Set it to 60. Just because a crossover is set to 60 doesn’t mean the speaker rolls off at 60, the slope usually starts before the desired frequency. Most set it at 80 because that’s where midbass is supposed to pick up. There is never a “correct” way to set it, mine is set to 55 in mine because my midbass picks up at 55hz and is confirmed through an RTA. All in all, there’s never a correct way. Just need to find where the subwoofer either stops playing at in a ported/band pass box or where you want it to stop.

Setting LPF to where midbass/mids kick in or are crossed over is one way to do it the other way is to set mono amp gain first, turn volume to max listening volume then turn LPF up until you start hearing mids come thru the sub or when it starts sounding muddy. I opt for the 2nd way to set my LPF so i can get the most clean frequencies as possible out of my sub.

And if your amp has low pass and high pass filters along with subsonic don't ever just use the decks x overs they aren't nearly as accurate and can dirty the signal going to amp as well as lowering overall voltage to pre amps. That's why those filters are on amps if your running a cheap ass amp or old amp that doesn't have those filters then by all means use the decks x overs/filters ps if running a sealed enclosure you don't really need to run a subsonic same with a 4th order bandpass for a vented a subsonic filter is there to help against excessive sub zcursion with typically is mid 20s and lower I set mine right about20-25Hz since the human ear cànt really distinguish diffrences from about 20. And below.

Remember to not double crossover your speakers, either pass threw on the head unit and use the LPF on the amp, or full range on the amp and use the EQ on the head unit. Shouldn't EQ an EQed signal.

Always buy a headunit with 4 volts or better on preout voltage and another thing make sure your amp can handle that high of voltage on the RCA inputs. Some amps are sensitive to high preout voltage.

You DO NOT set both amp and head unit... home theater, car audio, nothing. If the head unit cuts off at 80hz to the sub at -24db per octave, it then sends the cut off to the amp at -24db and then your amp cuts it off more at whatever -db it has built in.. meaning your doubling the cut off... so now your subwoofer crossover isn't ROLLING off, it's completely DROPPING out compared to the rest of frequencies. There will be no blend with the highs and mids and will cause a gap between them..especially if you're doing the same incorrect method on your highs and mid amp. Pick ONE place to set your crossover and open the crossover completely on the other device.

All you need to do is turn the lpf all the way to the right to the highest lpf settings eg 200hz. You then use the headunit xover eg 80hz -24db. If you try and match them you will cascade the slopes eg u will get -48db slope. You turn the lpf to the highest on amp so it’s out of range when it reads from the headunit. You won’t class slopes. In a nutshell turn lpf all the way to right use the headunit lpf do not match digital is the best way.

SSA Studio app WITH dB Device xplicitaudio.com/product-category/installation/tools/?ref=3229

is it bad to underpower a sub. say it says normal rms is a 1000 and max is 2000. i know that the 2000 is only in short burst. i have a RF mono block 1ch 2ohm amp at 500watts. true rating is 640 on birth sheet. should i just wait to use it until i get a new amp? or is it ok?

Not a problem long as no clipping, just compensate with a bigger box and still get the most out of it.

Ssa studio with but Db device required. Any tone generator for the notes

My box is tuned to 34hz. Where should I turn it to? And you said set the stero settings same as the amp right? So that would mean I should set it at 64hz meaning 34 X = 64. So lpf would be at 64. Should I leave at that not sure what my Kenwood double din 5 volt has as far as hz level

I always cut mine off at 60 hz,and set the the head unit to flat across-the-board and hardly ever use the sub out put on the head unit,I use just the rear channels to amp for full range just in case I need or want to use an epicenter or crossover

Roughly correct 70-80

Isn’t the median between 20 and 200 is 110. So shouldn’t your lpf be set to around 11 o’clock? Or does being 20hz off from the target not make difference? Thanks.

So lpf is 30hz and spl is just there the tuning is 25hz and the box is round just set it and forget it cause 100 -50 =50 and if u add that to ur total number of windows minus the total number of door locks ur speaker will work just fine cause it’s hooked up to the flux capacitor in the blinker fluid reservoir half way set to the subsonic as long as u have the iPod in and the head unit off.....”is wat I think was explained”

Mine sounds best with lpf set at 12 o’clock and subsonic at 10 or 11 o’clock. That’s with volume at 20 that’s what I typically run so that’s what I set it to
