I am going to use some rear speaker wires for a line converter for RCAs. This amp will power my sub. The headunit has separate rear bass controls. Will the bass control determine the amount of signal the amp gets, or does the line converter make this a static level? Also, if the bass control does affect the level, would putting bass blockers "downstream" of the line converter tap mess with it at all? The rear speakers of me car are more thump than tone, and I don't want any bass below 120-150 being played on them (esp if I turn the bass up on the headunit for the sub)


Thanks...

 

come on Jared, first things first. New Headunit!

 

I still have my alpine from the CL, but I don't know if I will use it or not

 

Is the dash of ur new car mod-friendly? I'd suggest startin from the front and workin' ur way back.

 

c'mon gurus, need some opinions in order to figure out my setup

 

Whoa. Line converters and bass blockers? I'm with inspire... throw that Alpine in there and do it right.

 

im guessing you will need a different dash kit or somethin. But i mean, the dashkit, and wiring harness, im sure it'll sound good. Let's hope there aren't any funky offboard EQ's like the TL

 

No, but I think there is a separate amp

 

Well, it being just an amp, i think you could try bypassing it, or see how it sounds with the Alpine HU + stock amp. I think its worth a shot

 

The bass control is one band of a 2-band EQ.

It doesn't control output, it actually distorts the sound by emphasizing the bass around 100 Hz or de-emphazising it.

If you want a separate bass control for how LOUD the amp is, you can install one between the LOC and the amp.

 

Fuck all this...I'm popping my alpine in...this is too goddamn complicated to keep the "stock" look

 

when u gonna do it? I'm gettin my headunit next weekend, maybe we can have a HU installing party

 

depends on the $$ situation...I still have to buy the dash and wiring kits, and the antenna adapter....

If the $$ works out, I would like to have an install day - STM fo life, bishes

 

another nice thing for an amp install on the volvo....the battery is in the trunk. no need to run ANYTHING from the engine bay

 

taht sounds awesome! an install day would be wikid! ive got a few things to install as well as Dave (Raptor CLS) from Stockton, we could all get together and have a party
