This is referred to as an āInfinite Baffleā or IB sub. The benefit of this design is there isnāt a need for an actual enclosure, as it uses the space behind the sub as a larger box, theoretically allowing for more extension. In THIS use-case is it everything everyone hoped and dreamed for...
:slow clap: correct, Iām not sure why. One thing I am sure of though, Iām learning to figure it out. I donāt like to throw shade at anyone, especially on the internet, because things can most definitely be taken out of context. However, I donāt step into a forum and say āTheā anything thread...
Magnuson-Moss act. The dealership would have to PROVE that what you installed is the cause of whatever problem youāre having.
If you install a camera, and your headlights stop working, for example, they need to draw a line from the headlights to your dashcam.
If you have the plug above the...
@PNWkip looking closer at the manual for your powered sub, I have a question.
Where are you grabbing the signal from for the box?
Can you possibly, this is going to be loud, get a test tone, something 40-50Hz at 0db, try kicker.com, and measure th voltage on your inputs at the box at...
Iād probably set the x-over to the x, thatās likely closer to 80Hz. But other than that, your settings look fine. If youāre concerned, maybe try with the boost at minimum.
Agreed, an o-scope would be desirable, but not everyone has access to one short of buying their own for a one-time use...
Interesting. Iām going to have to do more reading on the hybrid in these trucks. I donāt have one, so itās been down the list of reading material. Thanks for setting me straight.
Sounds to me like you have it set correctly. Yes, just be careful with the bass boost, that is a sub killer if not done right.
And I agree, thereās A LOT of info on EVERYTHING out there. You can end up with āparalysis by analysisā. I spent a good 10 years doing that when I went from ājust...
Just read the āgain adjust ā in the manual of the P300, and it says that for best performance the gain should be set at minimum. Where are your gain settings? Because my description of a remote āvolume controlā seems like it would apply to this powered sub as well.
BTW, Iāve heard Rockford...
Not knowing exactly which RF sub you have, Iāll make a couple generalizations.
When you want to set gains, turn the bass knob up full, adjust any gains on the amp, and be good to go. You need to think of the bass knob as just a volume control for your sub. Youāre not negating the gain...
No, try again. The amplifier is using the power of the alternator to operate. When, and only when, the alternator runs out of available power, the battery is used in reserve. However, Toyota would know this, and design an amplifier that doesnāt need to dip into battery reserves for power..
It depends on WHEN you touch the bass boost. If you do it before setting gains, all youāre doing is over emphasizing a very narrow frequency range at the expense of the others. Think of it as a blip on a line graph. You can only go as loud as the highest point on that graph. If you...
Iāve had this discussion on another forum, about the BeatSonic. Yes, it will make a perceptible difference to the sound. But it is perception. What youāre hearing, the difference, is likely clipping. As I said, why would Toyota leave any room in the balance of the screen/amp combo, except...
I would like to draw your attention to information about the Beat-Sonic piece.
- It is NOT an amp, according to its name. It is a glorified plug-n-play line driver, similar to an Audio Control LC2i(as an example). What it is doing is boosting the voltage from the screen to the JBL/base...
I used Carista to turn off ANC as well. There is a difference in road noise, if you listen for it. It might be more pronounced with more aggressive tires, Iām not sure.
