Best Sub and Amp Settings
So I've got JL 250amp and JL 10" open air sub that is installed in factory sub spot. These are connected to Kenwood DDX719. What are the best settings for the amp and the sub through the sub settings? I've provide pictures below of current settings.
The highlighted green line is the sub line. The sub is set at 60Hz. The other two are front and rear speaker bass lines. The front is currently set at 180Hz, and rears are at 80Hz. The front speakers are Polk DXi 650s, and factory rears. http://i1235.photobucket.com/albums/...pse4427e6f.jpg And the amp is set at basically 90Hz. http://i1235.photobucket.com/albums/...ps6e215424.jpg |
Audio settings is always a tough game. I ended up using a clean sweep calibration disc. Made things easier. Just keep experimenting

Ight. I've only adjusted from the stereo options, and had a buddy that adjusted the amp to 90Hz. He also said that there is certain Hz that if the sub is played at too long will seize it up fairly quick. I want say I think it is 60Hz? Can anyone confirm this?

Wrong. Subs are meant to play 20hz and upwards of about ~120hz, but in most cases are only tuned to roll off at about 80hz.

On a side note, I love this setup. The open air sub keeps the bass very contained (perfect oxymoron). As in, I can turn it up pretty loud and not be disturbing other cars around me when I'm waiting at a red light. |

So where do I need to adjust the amp? Do I need to match the Hz on the amp to what I have adjusted it to on the settings on the stereo? So I can leave my settings on the stereo at 60Hz?

It helps to understand it a bit more to make it easier for you to fine-tune your system to your ear. |

Your 60hz setting on your Kenwood deck defeats the 90hz setting on your amplifier.

Exactly what I said from the start. Can be confusing. Just play around with it to get the sound you want
