here's my problem. I have an 02 oz rally. In the past months i have worked on my sound system getting it to the best quality i can. I have two 10'' pioneers at the moment which will have a 12 '' memphis audio sub added in a week or two. The problem i am having is the bass. My subs are working fine and at my optimal needs. But recently i have upgraded the stock door and rear speakers but it seems like they have to much bass in them for good sound quality. Question is does anyone know how to cancel out the bass from the interior speakers without goin out and getting an equalizer? if so please help

 

Doesn't Crutchfield have some high and low frequency blockers to go in-line from the speaker? They'll filter out, depending on which ones you get, either the highs or the lows. Cheapest idea I believe.

 

do you have the stock head unit or aftermarket? i have a pioneer head unit and you adjust the his, mids, and lows from that. if you have an aftermarket one that is capable of it, the do that.

 

the headunit is an aftermarket panasonic. The only controls i have it on are presets such as tight and boom. i can manually only control bass from -12 - +12 same w/ treble, balance, fader, and my mute button. no settings for mids hi's and lows like in sony h.u.'s and pioneers. any more suggestions?

 

Do you have an amp on your door speakers. If you do then adjust the crossover settings.

 

they are called bassblockers

 

no amp at all to the door speakers or rear. if i were to do that, how would i hook up all 4 speakers to the amp? would i have to do it from behind the h.u. or are their wires that i can splice??
bass blockers? look like little capaciters dont they? how do u install them to ur speaker

 

Something like this might do the job...( http://www.crutchfield.com/S-p7HTuax...=bass+blockers ). But since you upgraded the stock speakers to, whatever???, yeah get a 4-ch amp to power those bad boys. You can then adjust the built-in crossover; assuming that the amp has a x-over. The amp can either receive signal from the RCA inputs from the HU, or line-in inputs (if the amp has those as well). Hope this helps.

 

alright... few things here. first off, are you ADDING that 12" sub to the existing 10's or just replacing? If you're adding, that's a huge mistake, especially mixing sizes and brands. different subs have different sounds and you'll just end up with a ton of cancellation.

second thing, does the head unit have a high-pass filter (HPF) on it? if so, set that somewhere between 80-120, see what sounds best. keep the bass on the head unit at 0 if you can, maybe less. if the head unit has a sub control, feel free to turn that up, but keep the bass control to a minimum, it'll just make your inside speakers sound sloppy.

 

they go in between your HU and your speaker, pretty easy install, hardest part is removing door panels

 

you can get bass blockers @ most radio shacks.... it just filters out what passes through the speaker lines... thus it installs between the speaker and headunit...

 

How would adding a 12 that s a dif brand cancel out the bass? do you recommend just tossing out the old ones and selling them and just goin w/ 2 memphas audio 12's? no hpf on the head unit. my bass is already set to anywhere from -10 to - 6 on the bass. even w/ the bass down to negative i still have it on my infity speakers on the inside....

 

Does your HU then have a separate sub control??? Better yet, tell all of us what you have (the HU brand/model) so we can figure this out for you...
