Sub
I recently installed a pioneer deh3500. a us acoustic 600f amp and a pioneer 10'. The amp is wired at 8ohms so the sub its getting about 350-400 watts. Since im still using the stock full range speakers (99x) I ended up high passing the speakers at 120hz. The sub im having problems with. Its a pioneer 450 watt 10' in a decent size truck box. .50-75cf or so. Stuffed with poly fill. (system use to be in a reg. cab truck) Well since my headunit has a crossover im using it. I found that when set to 125 hz (trying to match the speakers.) it clipped or distorted way too much. So i backed it down to 80hz. Still distorts so i ended up crossing my sub over at 50hz. I then turned the bass boost up to about +5 on the headunit. Any sugestions on what to do about my 50-120 hz gap?
Im surprised at how good the stock speakers sound. also for a single 10 that thing hits nicely. Except it has one spot it seems to do best at. For some reason it seems to get louder with really low freq. Itll even play some bass tracks to where you cant hear any sound but you can feal the air moving. Sorta like a swaying sensation. Im still a little worried about such a huge gap in the freq range. Why would this sub distort so badly at higher freq ranges but play lower freq so well? think im sending it too much power? heres the sub
