This is somewhat long winded but here it goes.
I have a 08 Acura TL. I'm using a audio control LOC with the factory deck and using my phone as the music source. The RCA's are running to a hifonics 1200 (soon to be a Rockford Fosgate prime 1200 in a few days) and a Rockford Fosgate prime 4 channel. I ordered the SMD distortion detector to help tune it..just playing the waiting game until then.
Right now it's not sounding to hot. Considering I'm playing music from my phone to a factory deck and LOC how do you go about tuning it correctly? I've read on here that you're supposed to turn down all of the equalizer's when you adjust the gains and what not but if I turn down the settings on the phone and deck I have great vocals but the bass is almost non existing. If I turn up the bass on the phone and LOC bass knob the bass kicks but it almost distorts. Anyone who has used a hifonics and a loc knows you have to turn the knobs and gain up to **** near max to get any sound...
Any input on where I should begin tuning and adjusting?
2 12 inch American Bass DX( replacing with 2 12 inch FI Alphas
Hifonics 1200 (replacing with RF Prime 1200 when it arrives)
Rockford Fosgate prime 250 4 channel
Prefab Sound ordinance ported box tuned to roughly 37 hz (yeah I know they're ****** but just waiting for the guy at north east bass factory to get back to me for a custom box for the FI Alphas..)
Audio Control LC6 LOC
RF door speakers..
