I was wondering, i have a Gen 2 Camry with pioneer speakers and head unit, 2 audiobahn subs, and an alpine amp. can anyone here give me the settings to tune on the radio to get max performance out of everything.

if you need more specific info, let me know.

Thank you,

i was just wondering if anyone had general settings that could push a system, it has alot of deep bass, but the other times it just sucks. o well just wanna see if anyone could help

So the main goal is to get better bass response? What model alpine amp and what ohm configuration subs are they. How do you have it wired? If you have everything wired and all the gains are set properly and you aren't happy then I'd think about upgrading to a better sub(s)...............Click ^

i have an Alpine V12 Mono amp and two audiobahn 10 Subs, not sure the nitty gritty details of them. i have thought for a while about getting new subs, but have bigger things to get first. you should know what i am talking about. the wiring for the subs is they are wired together at the amp.

Well shoot, don't have too much to work on with that info really.

You can get a single 10" sub for about 100 bucks, that will probably sound better than the Audiobahns.

Check out www.oaudio.com The TC2+10" is on clearance for 99 bucks. That's an awesome sub.

Are they 2 or 4 ohm subs.. single or dual voice configurations?

Set the gains correctly, if it has bass boost, try not to use it.

What king of box, size, is it prebought or homemade?

Not much more we can tell you seeing how we have little info on your system.

[blkdmnrcing]

the subs are the audiobahn AW102T Natural Excursion Subs, they are a singal 4 ohm voice coil,
The box is a home made box, the subs sit facing each other, and the amp is between them,
the amp is the alpine V12 amp Model Number MRD - M605. It has a 600 watt set to 2 ohm or a 400 watt set to 4ohm

[blkdmnrcing]

there are adjustments that i can make to the Crossover frequency, lowpass Filter slope, and subsonic mode selector switch. i can also adjust the input level, but dont know what to set the input level at, and i can adjust the Bass EQ.

i hope this helps alittle bit

How about this;
1. What is you home made box tuned to; 30-45hz?
2. Tune the amp to that same number.
3. Do Big 3 upgrade wire upgrade; get more constant jucie.
4. Check your gain IMO looking for 12-2o'clock.
5. Make sure you have LPF is tuned to above.
6. Does your Head Unit (HU) have Subwoofer pre amp out puts. If so i would suggest that you turn down the bass going to the other speakers in the car a little, so that when you raise the volume there is less distortion.
7. Can you control HPF/LPF off of your HU, set that accordingly.
8. While i don't suggest if you have LOUD, maybe you can set that to LOW and it will improve sound.

Want more power going to your subs, maybe you could wire subs to 2 ohm's, just beware and don't blow your subs. Link-> http://forums.caraudio.com/vb/showpo...92&postcount=6
