I have it all set . . . but the only problem is that I don't seem to be able to turn "off" the LP filter on the HU. I also can't turn it "off" on the amp. So right now, I have the deck set to 100Hz (I'm assuming that means all frequencies up to 100Hz will be allowed to go to the ...

Just to make sure I understand . . .use the high pass filter on the deckset either the deck or amp low pass filter to zero / don't use bothmake sure everything's set to 0 when I adjust the gainAnd . . . should the low pass filter be set to 200Hz? or 50Hz? Which setting will give more accurate sound?

First, a little background . . . my questions are near the end of the post.OK . . . just bought an amp today (and installed it myself - with MUCH help from a good friend - I suck at such things) and now my car sounds like I want it to sound. I still need to adjust all the settings on the amp (like I...

well, I wish I wouldn't have gotten the 7 speaker system because the sound (in my opinion) is pretty poor. I really want to:a. either get rid of that panel and enclosure & have the normal panel back thereb. have a custom enclosure built within that panel (but that would be $500 to $1000 from wha...

Here's what I've decided to do . . . after long hours of poring over the problem . . . and this decision gives me the most peace of mind.replace the amp I blew and use the subwoofer that I currently have. However, when replacing the amp, I'm going to go for a 4 channel and use 2 of the channels to p...

Thanks for the input. I'm taking my car in tomorrow . . . to see if I can put an aftermarket subwoofer into the existing enclosure. Right now I'm thinking that it may not work. But I'm hoping the tech at the small shop I'm taking the car to will take the time to look at the enclosure and give me a r...

I have installed a system in my car and I have disabled the factory amplifier and the Monsoon sub. I've replaced all the door speakers with aftermarket speakers. Question:Is it possible to remove the monsoon sub and the enclosure and put in a regular panel in order to get more space in the Vibe?

Can you believe that I lost my amp? What a frustrating moment. It wasn't too much in the recent scheme of things . . . the deck and speakers and installation of those were the most expensive part. So I'm not out too much. I just can't figure out why that happened.Anyway, I really DID want to take yo...

Since I was already in way over my head (pricewise) I decided to get the Polks and put them in the rear doors. I don't think I could be much happier. The mid-bass is MUCH fuller.However, I made a really stupid mistake today. I unplugged the sub because we put a bunch of stuff in the car. I didn't ma...

OK . . . I will look at setting the gain on the sub. I appreciate the VERY clear directions. I'm hoping and guessing that Stereo King did all that though when they installed the amp under the driver's seat. Here is a bit I just found on the Crutchfield site supporting my idea that the rears should b...

OK. I understand. I will do some reading up on the links you sent me.Let's get down to what I can do right now. Right now my system sits like this:1. Premier 790BT HU2. Infinity Reference Coaxial 6022i fronts3. Stock rear speakers4. 10" Pioneer TS-W256DVC sub5. MTX TC3001 (300 watts RMS x 1 at ...

Thanks for the reply. Are you saying I wouldn't have to "make" a box for the powered sub? I can just install it anywhere? Hm. Interesting idea. I was also wondering about your ideas on the speakers. Wouldn't it be better to put some speakers in the back that could handle a little bass (e.g...

Hey, thanks for the reply. Congrats on your new vibe. I'd love to sell you what you're looking for . . . I just have to figure out my permanent setup and whether or not I'm going to need that first. Kicker's thin subs start at 6 inches so that wouldn't be an option unless I wanted to totally re-do t...

I just bought a new Vibe the day before yesterday.Yesterday I had a Pioneer Premier 790BT installed to replace the stock HU. The installer took forever, as he had to bypass the factory amp. I replaced the front speakers with 6.5" Infinity Reference speakers, and haven't touched the rears yet (r...
