If anyone who reads this and knows a bit about audio stuffs (and maybe car audio stuffs) can offer some help with this, I’d greatly appreciate it:<\/p>\n
As I mentioned here<\/a>, I installed two new speakers and an amp \/ crossover which are part of the Honda accessory known as the Bass System Kit<\/a>. The instructions for installation stated that one should set both the cut and gain settings to ‘the nine-o’clock position’ for my model car. I’ve found that the gain setting seems a bit high, and turning that down seems to have evened out the bass, but I can’t help but think the cut (crossover) setting just isn’t quite right. It almost seems as if too much mid-range audio is still going to those particular speakers.<\/p>\n What I’m asking is if anyone can give me some tips as to setting the cut (crossover) and gain settings for the amp. Currently I’m going with listening to different things while driving around, listening for any distortion or points which simply sound like they have too much bass then adjusting audio. This is kinda inefficient, though.<\/p>\n Without acquiring a scope, high quality mic, and signal generator (or test CD), how can I best set this up? Tuning car audio is one thing I have very little experience doing, and Google results seem to explain the settings more than explain how to do a good job tuning them.<\/p>\n Thanks!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" If anyone who reads this and knows a bit about audio stuffs (and maybe car audio stuffs) can offer some help with this, I’d greatly appreciate it: As I mentioned here, I installed two new speakers and an amp \/ crossover which are part of the Honda accessory known as the Bass System Kit.
