So I have a Tacoma using the stock head unit. My speakers are focal and my speaker amp is an Audio Control ACM-4.300. The HPF settings are 80,bypass,120. I previously had it at bypass but I am adding a subwoofer.
For this install I added the Skar Ske2loc active converter as opposed to what I did previously which was use the amps high level in.
Adding this LOC had a very unexpected effect. The speakers sounded much better and the bass produced from them was quite louder. I moved the HPF to 80 and the bass was still very loud and while it was clean I could hear some vibration in my doors. I don't want to go through and try and deaden everything. So I changed the HPF to 120hz. This removed almost all bass from the speakers but they sound very good and can get quite loud now without any distortion.
My subwoofer comes tomorrow. 10" JL TW3 shallow subwoofer in a sealed box. My plan is to run the LPF at 120hz.
My question is, can this sub handle the 120hz without getting muddy? Or should I go back and change bothe the HPF and LPF to 80hz?
