[QUOTE="mgk645, post: 8847217, member: 689031"] Hey all, I recently installed new audio gear in my 2016 WRX, and while the front stage sounds good, the subwoofer is lacking at comfortable listening volume (below 50%). Installed: Kenwood DMX709S HU Morel Maximo Ultra 6.5" compenents (front) 100w RMS Pioneer TS-SW2501S4 10" sub 300W RMS (pickup slim sealed box) Alpine R2-A60F 4ch amp, bridged 3/4ch for sub knuconceptz 4awg OFC amp kit I have set the gains on the amp with my DMM with the radio at volume 30 out of 40 using a 1khz test tone for the fronts and a 50hz tone for the sub (both 0db). I had the radio zeroed out for the EQ and fade/balance, but I did have the sub level at +10 (max). I have the HP filter set for ch1/2 at 80hz and the LPF filter set for ch3/4 at 80hz. The filters are set through the amp, not the head unit. When I run the 50hz test tone at volume 30 the sub rumbles the car and I can "feel" it. I like it. However, when listening to music (even bass heavy) at a comfortable listening level, say 15-20, there is no bass at all. It's all front stage....and it's very loud. I've messed with the EQ and dialed up the Low range to +9db and it doesn't make any difference. The sub is working, but I need to put my hand on it to tell it's moving. Basically, I'm trying to get the bass down at the 15-20 volume level, but I'm lost at this point. Any help would be appreciated (also hope I'm posting in the correct sub) Thanks! [/QUOTE]
