Morning all,

Wanted to run this minor issue thats been a small peev of mine. It pertains to my factory stereo.

I have all factory speakers except for my subwoofer. I'm using a 10" bazooka tube with an Alpine mono amp ( forgot model )

Bass works fine until I raise the volumne to 25,..or 26 and up. Bass cuts off, highs stay on. Once I lower the volumne bass returns.
I'm also running a LOC made by stinger, connected to my factory bass connector.

Here are some things i noticed:

- Amp doesnt go into protect mode when bass cuts off.
- Does not overheat
- I've been using this bazooka tube for over 10 years...this sub has outlived most of my cars.

- Only thing I can think of would be the gains. Some insight on how to properly set them would be great.

On my stereo I have the subwoofer level set to -4
so I assume gain on the amp might be a bit to high. I havent checked yet but am wondering if anyone could shed some insight on this.

maybe my LOC sucks? LOC = Line Output Converter

 

a good start would be to turn the gain down on the amp

 

Thanks Tommy,...I forgot to include the Crossover im using as well.

Definitely will work with the gain adjusts first.

Thanks again

 

Which stinger LOC are you using? SGN11? Does it have wires coming out of it, or is it a block-style?
