Bass

[Eazy M 316]

How can I make my subs sound better? I am not happy with the bass quality at all and im looking for ideas on how to make it sound better. They are pretty old they are 12" Kicker XPL's but they are in PERFECT condition. I have the Kicker ds6930 6x9's in the back and the same ones in front but the 6.5's

This is the deck i have



Here is my amp.




Ive tried adjusting things then it sounds good for awhile but then it sounds like shit later on.. lol I am horrible with audio too. So help would be appreciated

bring it to an audio shop, they can tune your subs. good tuned subs definitely make a difference.

To properly set your amp you have to turn down all the bass on your HU..turn down the low, mid, and high..Turn your volume up to about 3/4 of the way up and tune your amp to some good bass..thats how they do it at audio shops and charge about 20+

yeah..ive tuned a couple of amps in my time..but before I ever did I had some people take their cars to audio shops..I kept an eye on what they did seeing as I was into that stuff..all they did was turn everything off (bass boost, high, mid, low, loud, and all that stuff)..it was the actual radio..they turned the volume up to about 27 because the radio went up to 34..then they turned up the bass..it was good clean bass and they stopped when it sounded distorted..

i turned my amp all the way and it started sounding like shitt

You never turn your amp all the way up....

OP: Describe how your subs sound. Stuffed up? Distorted? Both?

a little bit of both..

I did as cb7rush said it worked a bit but they still sound a little bit raw..

is the box properly sized, shaped, and ported for your subs?

[sonikaccord]

Definitely a box issue.

that was going to be my next possibility..the box is probably too big..

for a temporary solution, you can screw in some pieces of 2x4's to take up some internal space.
