Subwoofers Setup

[SL33K]

Hello SkylineAustralia members

How are thou?

OK i was selling my subs from my old civic and now since no one has bought them yet, i have decided to put them in my new baby (Skyline).

I just wanna know which way to face them. Does it make any difference? They are 2 Kicker COMP CVR DVC.

The box is the Kicker Factory Ported subwoofer enclosure.

The thing is i want punchy bass for RnB music. I dont want rumbling bass.

Is there any way to make it punchy? anyone know how to set up the stereo maybe?

I havent bought the stereo yet. Gettin it on tuesday(DEH-P3050UB).

i do have one in the car atm but its a pioneer double Din one. but its dead now coz it was acting stupid and kept skippin cds while playin and even skippin radio. It pissed me off so much that i ended up sprayin alot of WD40 inside the cd slot and it silently died.

i have tried askin this question elsewhere before but never got an answer.

just installed it. but the subwoofer box was too big to go in the boot. i forced it in. its can only face the inside facing the seats.

i dont even know how i am gonna remove them when i want to. but it sounds good. Loadz of clean bass.

Instead of getting the 3050UB i got the deh-4050UB with 3rca output.

Does anyone know how to make the bass punchy?

how to setup the headunit?

Basically tune the Customer EQ to look like a Ditch, Low frequencies load them up high, not too much though, mids low to medium, then the treble which is the far right, load that up a lil high, but not higher then the bass.

If you dont have a graphic EQ.

Then if you want bass

Bass +4

Treble +2

Mid +2

The best place to play with bass is on the amp, some will say dont turn up the gain, but as i listen to RnB aswell, nothing like some bass kickin' in..

So turn the gain up just a lil bit on the amp, and make sure the HPF is on so the subs arent playing vocals and are just thumping low end frequency bass.

What else do you have in your system? Splits .. Coaxials ??

To tell you the truth, you need a very fine ear to tune a car system properly, and im just giving you a basic guide, trial and error play around with the settings. Coz you can always reset them if you screw it up..

If you really cant go through the head ache, then just take it to a car audio place, they'll tune it perfectly

I dont know the speakers in the front. just using the ones that came with the ride.

But in the back i have pioneer 6x9's 3-way.

I tuned the system like u sed and it sounds good. havnt tested it with good songs yet. my treble was on the highest(lol)

i just set it like u sed Bass -4, mid - 2, trebble - 2.

Now it has some other settings which look like frequencies. what the?
